March 27, 2008 - Hong Kong, 8Five2 Shop @ Causeway Bay (dead beat by the time I got there, the humidity has got to me!)
Met up with the boys (YM, Masa and Shawn) to do a bit of visitation of the big guns in Hong Kong, Chris & Linton @ GarageWorks and Brian @ 8Five2 Shop. The GarageWorks office at Chai Wan is pretty dope, once you enter there’s racks and racks of toys - dope toys! After the tour of the toy house, we headed back to Causeway Bay to hit up Brian’s shop - Brian is one of the funniest people I’ve met in HK. “Sea Urchin…UGHHHH!” inside joke hahah, omg he is mad funny and he must be watching too much of The Wire haha. 8Five2 Shop is a dope spot, check out the store. Then we the four of us headed down to Mongkok to look for some DVDs, afterwards headed over to Langham place to find a spot to eat dinner. Since Ajisen Ramen has been haunting me (I see that restaurant everywhere), I’ve made the decision for everyone to eat there. The ramen was pretty good, then off to home - I was mad beat that day b/c it was super humid!!!

Just wondering if you’ve ever heard of the brand punky pins? they have the coolest stuff and judging from your site you’d really be into it…it’s like really cool big 80’s types of necklaces, earrings, bracelets etc. Check it out at boudoir-pr.com!!! Enjoy the rest of your trip!! Can’t wait to see more pics!!!
