It took about 2+ hours to get to Stanley from my university at Sai Kung, but the road from Central through the HK island peak to Repulse Bay and Stanley was very scenic.
We spent some time walking around the lovely Stanley Market…
My sister brought to my attention just how popular Teva, an Israeli footwear company, is in Hong Kong.
We played some pool at a local pub to get away from the pouring monsoon. My little sister was kicking my ass.
We visited the local Tin Hau temple…
Walked around a bit towards the Hong Kong Stanley Maritime Museum (no photos allowed inside).
Finally, we had a late Thai lunch and took a nap at the local nearby Starbucks. If you’re living in Asia, you know that’s what restaurants and Starbucks are really for.
