1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,020 [music plays] 2 00:00:13,700 --> 00:00:17,950 Hello! So I'm still in Hong Kong, and I'm still having an amazing time. Anyway, so when 3 00:00:17,950 --> 00:00:22,110 I was wondering around the other day - which is my preferred method of travelling when 4 00:00:22,110 --> 00:00:26,410 I go overseas - I got kind of lost, but then trying to find my way back home I found this 5 00:00:26,410 --> 00:00:33,410 whole area which is just this kitschy, crafters, DIY-ers, hipster paradise. I'd actually liken 6 00:00:33,809 --> 00:00:38,960 the area to a "mini-Harajuku". And I call it a "mini-Harajuku" because well, for one, 7 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:45,960 one of my favourite shops there, called Bunkaya Zakkaten, actually originated in Harajuku! 8 00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:47,920 [music plays] 9 00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:01,140 So there was no way I could leave that place 10 00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:03,660 without buying some stuff. This is what I got. 11 00:01:03,670 --> 00:01:09,009 A super creepy pen. Blinking eyeball earrings. 12 00:01:09,009 --> 00:01:16,009 And like, the BEST buttons of all time. Oh, and these! 13 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:23,300 [music plays] 14 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,660 Adding to the Japanese-Harajuku atmosphere 15 00:01:33,670 --> 00:01:37,359 of the place, I came across this Japanese bookstore called "Tomato Books". 16 00:01:37,359 --> 00:01:42,490 [excited:"It's a Japanese bookstore!"] They've got Japanese magazines, shelves of 17 00:01:42,490 --> 00:01:45,810 lookbooks from Japanese designers for the new season, AND a cake cafe! 18 00:01:45,810 --> 00:01:51,119 Then, there's G-square, which is a little complex of 20 or so shops, selling everything 19 00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:57,039 from small designer labels to cute socks, handmade jewellery, some of the BEST shoes 20 00:01:57,039 --> 00:02:03,259 I've ever seen, and patches! And I bought SO many patches. 21 00:02:03,259 --> 00:02:06,829 And they're all iron-on patches so they're going to be going on so many of my clothes. 22 00:02:06,829 --> 00:02:13,829 And then I spotted some sparkly shoes. 23 00:02:13,829 --> 00:02:15,829 [music plays] 24 00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:25,220 These are from Monki, which is also on Granville Road. I also came across this cool craft shop, 25 00:02:25,220 --> 00:02:29,579 which I wanted to go into, but it was closed! Which was such a shame because I peeked through 26 00:02:29,579 --> 00:02:33,079 the window and it looked so cute! But, anyway, next time. 27 00:02:33,079 --> 00:02:36,680 And then off Granville Road there's all these cute little alleyways and this thing called 28 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,489 Granville Circuit which has amazing looking Ramen, street-food and the shops of smaller, 29 00:02:42,489 --> 00:02:48,450 independent Hong Kong and Japanese designers. But, probably the most impressive thing about 30 00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:51,470 Granville Road - they have *another* Me & George! 31 00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:53,739 [triumphant/hero music plays] 32 00:02:57,700 --> 00:03:02,440 Now if you watched my last video, I went kinda nuts at this vintage thrift shop. Me and George 33 00:03:02,460 --> 00:03:07,099 is this chain of thrift shops that are all around Hong Kong, but this one on Granville 34 00:03:07,099 --> 00:03:14,099 Road has to be the best one that I've found so far. And this is what I bought! 35 00:03:14,219 --> 00:03:21,219 [music plays] 36 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,800 [record scratch sound effect] 37 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,080 By the way - what exactly is a "Hambacker"? Does anyone else know what that's supposed 38 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:40,720 to mean? Oh well! 39 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,720 [music resumes playing] 40 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,360 Of course, Hong Kong isn't all about the shopping! 41 00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:20,470 And I've been doing a lot more than that - I'm just having an amazing time actually experiencing 42 00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:23,300 all this stuff at the moment so I probably won't get around to vlogging about it until 43 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,490 I'm back in Sydney. But - I've accumulated at least 50GB of video footage from walking 44 00:04:27,490 --> 00:04:30,840 around so I promise I'll upload it all soon. Anyway I hope you're all having a really good 45 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:33,450 day, and that you enjoyed this video! And I'll see you later. Bye!
