Festive Decorations

street view

      Feeling panicky because there is approximately 9 days til Christmas (yay!) but you haven't bought your tinsel or baubles yet? No fear, because Sham Shui Po stocks about everything you will need (you know me, that's where I go). I went there with grannie last week and bought Christmas lights at a bargain: they were electric blue and we bought 600 bulbs worth for around 300 HKD. We also got a cute Christmas wreath with bows and holly for 85HKD.
      The street is Fuk Wing Street. I recommend visiting on weekdays because at the weekend it's packed full of people! Go in the afternoon, most shops open at 11am, so why not enjoy lunch in one of the ground-floor street tearooms before shopping to your heart's content? Only one thing: Beware the pickpockets!

plenty of shops with large variety

     And... of course afterwards we went to the bakery to buy pastries and grannie got me a cinnamon chocolate-sprinkle bread roll. Yum!
