Reminiscing The Good Olden Days In HK

 It was year 1990, BLAZERS are most commonly seen being worn and seen in the fashion scenes in Asia's fashion capital HONG KONG. Socialites, fashion models, essential workers, even the elite students in British/Chinese schools wear blazers. Women, men, children wear blazers. Why not? Blazers are trendy and fashionable and it was the trend in the 90's. 

I had one blazer that I love to wear, it was a black velvet blazer. The blazer fits my body perfectly as if its been tailor made for me. The texture of the blazer's fabric is quite smooth and of course velvety. 


 Sometimes when I don't feel like wearing clothes that almost closer to my skin's color. I'm glad I had that black blazer or nude colors become the trendsetter. Yup, you should consult your  optometrist or just wear eyeglasses to see. 

I am not the empress without clothes.

The weather in Hong Kong is temperate. Cool and breezy. It gets very cold at winter but not friggin' cold compared to Canada. Of course there is no snow in HK even if its closer to China geographically. It never get hot when I was there. Just warm breeze at summer time. I must have been lucky that the weather was always perfect there.

HK is the best of both worlds, very modern and yet ancient. The surroundings are very clean and organized too, not kidding,  simply because too many guardians on the street. The policemen are everywhere. lol. And they are handsome too! Great! It is very safe and secured there. The people in HK still value their old culture and you must admire their ancient heritage and tradition. Their respect for elders and ancestors made them the best cradle of civilization. I LOVE HONG KONG! It is the most stunning, most beautiful island in the Far East. The beautiful skyscrapers, the condominiums, the towers and buildings have architectural designs built for ultra modern metropolis. Would you believe that the island has millions of inhabitants but the flow of traffic is controlled and fast simply because everyone follows the rule of law. The MTR or Metro Railway Transit subway, underground was scary at first but when you use MTR all the time traveling through the subway is fast, efficient and reliable. An hour ride by bus could only mean 10 minutes to get into the destination of choice using MTR. Don't worry whether the MTR will cross the ocean via tunnels, underground mountains and  under skyscrapers. Just pray that there will be no earthquake and everything's gonna be fine.

There is always something to do in HK, especially when it comes to shopping the best deals. HK is the shopping mecca so that is quite an excitement for shoppers. I remember Lorne buying fabrics made of silk, satin and  embossed linens, jewelries, then Gucci wristwatch for her sister. Long before I knew that the silk and satin fabrics were for me actually and my Mother-in-law sewn those fabrics for my honeymoon dress nightgowns. Wow! How nice of her to do that for me. She probably would sew my wedding dress if the wedding was held in Canada. I felt very, very special. Thanks Mom!


Anyway, let's have that long story shortened. Hong Kong is the best place ever and if I will go on vacation it will be in HK. I wish the pandemic is over. Nobody likes this pandemic of coronavirus.
