I decided months ago when we first got here that we were moving to Sheung Wan next year. I went down there to pick up a bookshelf and fell in love. There are wide sidewalks, tons of cafes, wine bars, galleries and yet it still retains the feel of an old Chinese neighborhood. I <3 Sheung Wan, and last night just confirmed my love! Paul and I MTRed our way down there and stopped in a cute little Chinese place for a quick bite. Then we walked through the cute little alleyways passed temples and playgrounds and found our way to the Sin Sin Art Gallery for the Julia Nee Chu exhibit opening. There were a handful of people, beautiful abstracts, a harpist and of course wine and snacks! I love this neighborhood! Then we explored the hood and made our way over to Central (10 minute walk) where we discovered all of these back streets with these amazing looking restaurants and bars! How have we not seen this before? We usually stick to right next to the escalators, who knew 1 street away and there were all of these gems!? Well apparently someone, because they were all pretty packed. We had a drink, decided we were tired and called it a night at 9. Nine's appropriate for a Friday night, right? Right!?
