Well, since my last post about Shenzhen, I have been there 4 more times. I went again with Linea, Jenny, Weck, and Daniel to stroll around and go back to the spa. Only the 3 girls went to the spa, and it was absolutely amazing again! I just can't believe how cheap the services are, though it is not a traditional spa, and you definitely get what you pay for. I asked for a pedicure, but they offer nail painting services for extra. The pedicure was just trimming the nails, then I got my feet smoothed. And I swear, my feet have not been so smooth since I was baby! They were so soft! Haha, I really enjoyed that. We ended up staying there and talking/eating dinner for a few hours then finally headed back to Hong Kong.
The third time I went to get some tailor made suits. We found a really nice woman, who I thought was the top recommended tailor, but it turns out her store was literally right around the corner! Either way, I am pleased with the results. I printed out pictures so they would know exactly what I wanted my pieces to look like. She even brought us to the fabric market to help us get good deals, then took our measurements. We went back a week later to get fitted, then had to get some adjustments made, but my stuff turned out pretty well. I ordered one skirt suit and an extra pencil skirt. For the three pieces I paid around $50! The lining is thinner, but I think that's nice for the summer months. I highly suggest you to go to Shenzhen for tailor made suits if you're ever in Hong Kong in the future! It's just a metro ride away and there's also tons of shopping you can do in the area. I've honestly never seen so many fake stuff in my life. I've bought DVD's and a nice little coin purse, as well as some other random cheap stuff. As a result of my many trips to Shenzhen, I've gotten a lot better at bargaining and even managed to get a small makeup bag down about 75% from their original asking price. Success!
