So if you read my blog last year when I was in Taiwan I made a big deal about the apparent lack of red vines in Asia. In fact I made such a big deal that if you search “Red Vines Taipei” in Google this website will be the first thing on the list. Well, as you can see from the picture above I have FINALLY found my Red Vines in Asia. Also here in Hong Kong you can get Red Bull which was also unavailable in Taiwan but that is less important. But anyways, The Red Vines were in this place called CitySuper in the bottom of the Times Square plaza at the Causeway bay station. Oh that reminds me, we landed in Hong Kong like 2 days ago, I will write an entry about it later, but first things first!

So Crystal and I were STARVING but I didn’t want to go to a real restaurant because I am cheap like that so we were walking around and stumbled onto Times Square which is this gargantuan mall that is literally a five minute walk from where we are staying. After going into the food court and eating Crystal noticed the supermarket in the CitySuper place. This place was one of those posh supermarkets with that whole foods feel that I avoid like the plague. But Crystal loves that stuff so I was forced to go in. As we were leaving Crystal stopped and pointed out the Red Vines. I INSTANTLY snatched them up and bought them. As I was thinking about the situation I found that this situation illustrates why we are perfect for each other, we generally complement each other very nicely. My natural attraction to dirt cheap food had combined with her attraction to posh “whole-food-esque” establishments ending in the relief of my greatest concern about food in Asia. It is a wonderful thing, isn’t it?

But yeah, I was SO amazed to find the Red Vines in Asia, it was so unexpected. If you are in Hong Kong craving for some Red Vines go to Times Square, and you shall be rewarded. I am now so in love with Hong Kong. I have been saved from another Red Vines less Asia trip. And also it is much easier to adapt to Hong Kong than the other Asian cities I have been to. But more on that later…
