We ventured into Kowloon for lunch and to visit some shopping centers and street markets. We took a small ferry from Hong Kong Island. It was a very walkable city, though crowded. We walked through the famous Ladies Market in Mong Kok, Kowloon Park in Tsim Sha Tsui, and other shopping malls.

The "Ladies Market" in Mong Kok is home to many clothing stores and street vendors. Most of the clothing is at discount prices and of questionable quality. But there are also more upscale boutiques to be found, including men's clothes.

One of the taller buildings in Mong Kok. A lot of the architecture in the older parts of Hong Kong aren't very pretty and serve utilitarian purposes, whereas newer luxury developments are very beautiful. It's a stark contrast between old and new.
Bonjour is a pharmacy similar to Duane Reade in the States. They had a bunch of them all over Hong Kong.
