hong kong day #2 kawloon

day 2 in hong kong.

sneaker hunting all day today until midnight. here in hong kong, stores stay open late. copped about 40 pairs today.
all price for shoes were a little bid higher than i expected but you know this is hong kong china, you've gotta negotiate price all the time. even authorized nike town/shops can give you 10-20% deal. (i mean if i could speak chinese, it could help me more)

shoes and antique watches, these 2 are what i wanna see in hong kong. today i am gonna concentrate on watches.

p.s. "BNE" is everywhere.. this guy is nuts.

香港２日目。
朝１１時から夜中までスニーカー探しに明け暮れる。以外と商品の値段が高いので驚く。
しかし香港といえどさすが中国。何でも値段は交渉すれば下がるもの。
それがたとえ、正規のナイキショップであっても１０、２０％は下がってくる。

スニーカーはほぼそろったので今日からはお隣、香港等をすこし見学してこようと思う。

paris

arrived at paris very early this morning. my friend booked this hotel for me.
in his email he said he got me a "hostel" so i assumed its gonna be a cheap hotel.

but it turned out very high end hotel.. i do not even know how much they are charging a night.
oh well, its gonna be my "off" day(s) in paris. let me chill out before paris' god father "Zied" aka Fred comes back.

its cool that there is a lot of solde going on in paris right now. hope to cop some more kicks out here.

nothing much going on today yet. more laters.

nyc

after a super long flight ( NRT-SFO-JFK.. sigh...), finally got to new york late last night.
my man Chris Vidal picked me up at the airport.
it was actually the first time someone picked me up at JFK. it was very nice not taking stupid cab after such a long flight..

i totally forgot new york gets this cold. it was like minus 6c according to the captain.

i am staying this newly renovated hotel called "the pod hotel" on 51st street on east side. its small but cozy and decent price. next you travel to new york by yourself, this is the spot.

today i am going to spend my first day with all the flight club family. cannot wait to see everyone.

again, thank you for giving a ride chris. you are the man.
