"Hey, hey, hey ladiesss [market]!"

Hong Kong felt, in many ways, like a coming home. The comfort I experienced while being there no doubt had a great deal to do with the reduced language barrier (many people spoke at least a little English), more familiar food options to cater to the large ex-pat community (coffee shops everywhere #blessed) and the city function in a way that was more familiar to me. I was able to experience the Lan Kwai Fang Carnival, which is a giant street fair that was Korean themed this year! From trying some delicious local eats to watching an up-and-coming KPOP singer (her name was Ha-Rin Lee - notably not Harry, as I initially thought), the carnival, and the rest of my time in Hong Kong, will inevitably draw me back...and maybe inspire me to purchase a few KPOP songs.
