We took a slow walk to Richmond Commercial Building, the last building at 亞皆è€è¡— Argyle Street before 洗衣街 Sai Yee Street. This building houses many toy shops. Wonder why we never found this place during our first two visits to Hong Kong.

Yes, Victory Avenue again. I’ll never get tired of looking at dogs.

20:25PM ä½æ•¦ Jorden to 旺角 Mongok by MTR
We took the MTR back to 旺角 Mongkok. Lazy to walk all the way back.
Drop by Wing Shing to get Jiahui’s UV filter, we also bought a bottle of bubble bath from The Body Shop. The ones that we bought on Day 01 was unsatisfying – The bubbles produced were too little and won’t last.
So many taxis.
So many people.
Zoomed in.. quite clear.
Singing Christmas carols on the streets.
21:10PM Back to hotel room – Dinner time!
