louis vuitton 5 canton road

One of the only stores I've seen apart from Louis Vuitton Champs-Élysées that has a line outside to limit the number of people in the store at a time.

hong kong museum of art: louis vuitton - a passion for creation

Going to Hong Kong especially for the Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, I was able to pick up the small programme books for the exhibition as well as the Limited Edition set of 3 books with pictures of all the exhibits.

finally booked and (not) ready to go

After a couple of weeks of looking at flight options, I finally booked my ticket to Manila. Instead of my preferred AKL-SYD-MNL//HKG-AKL route, I booked the above itinerary including a 10 hour visit to Perth, a place I haven't been to yet.

I've also never been to Hong Kong, or wanted to go there before. But as the Hong Kong Museum of Art is exhibiting Louis Vuitton: A Passion for Creation, I thought I would stop and have a visit. It will also give me a chance to do all the touristy things such as visiting Lantau Island and Victoria Peak, and taking the ferry across to Macau. I don't think I can handle the markets, so I will stick to the shopping centres.

By the end of this trip, I should have 14 more stamps to my passport, and visited 4 cities I've never been to before.

queenstown

Weekend trip to Queenstown to farewell Qantas from flying domestically in New Zealand. Having to choose between an economy window seat on the right hand side providing the best views on this route, or in business class on the aisle was a tough decision, but in the end I went with business class and was still able to see out the windows on both sides of the plane. I was also able to see the fake Louis Vuitton bag the person sitting across from me had. Wonder why she was staring me up and down when I got on board with my LV carry on bag, messenger bag, and boots...

I wanted the Louis Vuitton Faux Semblant Carre sunglasses in the window, but they didn't have the black ones and I didn't want the tortoise ones as they had been on display, so left empty handed.
