True Love Cafe - Huskies Cafe (Bangkok, Thailand)

The True Love Cafe at Bangkok is really difficult to locate!

All visitors have to pay an admission fee of around 350 baht, which comes with a drink and a piece of cake. Visitors are free to pet the huskies at the petting area, there were more than 20 dogs and they were all living in good conditions! :)

Cheung Chau Island (Hong Kong)

Going to Cheung Chau from Hong Kong ferry pier was very easy! The ferry ride can be paid using the Octopus card and costs about 20HKD. The ferry to Cheung Chau is at pier number 5, it is located behind the IFC building, towards the left when facing the piers.

Cheung Chau is definitely a great island to visit with a clean nice beach (albeit a little small), and many good food!


The ferry timing is pretty frequent! It takes only 30-45 minutes to get there!



The view from the ferry, on the way to Cheung Chau.

Cheung Chau was full of fishing boats! There were also a few temples on the island. If you can cycle, it'll be great to cycle on the island while sightseeing!





The 'ping an' bun is actually the island's 'mascot' and its merchandise can be found everywhere!


These mini egg tarts are yummy, and they are served fresh!


The famous snacks were the 'fish eggs' (魚蛋) Actually they are just like fish balls, but there are many flavors of toppings to choose from!





This is definitely the stall to get your fish eggs from! Try the cheese ones, they are super yummy! The stall is located at the cross junction near the beach!


I was lucky to find a really yummy dessert stall! It serves really nice mango milk pudding!


There are several handicraft stores in Cheung Chau too, do check them out for interesting handicraft, but they are not cheap!

Hong Kong 3D Museum (Hong Kong)

I really love the HK 3D Museum!

Address: 96 Granville Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong
Admission Fee: 149HKD (Adults) But during my visit, I had an e-coupon from the HK tourism website and got a 10% discount. So do check out the tourism website prior to your visit! :)

So I went to the museum (actl i went to HK) SOLELY for the One Piece exhibition and it was amazing!!! Although two of the backdrops were closed, there were still many exhibitions to take photos with!








There was also a Fish-Man Island themed mirror maze with its entrance at the figurines store.


























Besides One Piece, there were also exhibitions that were HK-themed. There were also information boards to explain what the pictures are about. :)



There were many more HK-themed backgrounds but well, my focus was obviously not there. Haha.

It felt awkward at first as I was there alone but there was exactly a staff there who offers photo taking services! She is really nice and offered to take photo for me with EVERY piece of exhibition, but I was really shyyyyyy so I only chose some special ones to take with.

Oh yes! Not forgetting the Kachapon machinese at the ticketing counter. They were so cute!!! BUT they can only be purchased with the HK Octopus card! Cash was not accepted :(
