Visit San Diego: Mr. Moto Pizza

Mr. Moto Pizza is a Cali chain that serves up all sorts of pizzas, as well as stuffed knots. I decided to grab a Pepperoni Jalapeno Ranch stuffed knot.   At just $4, it was huge, and it was a meal in itself. It was essentially like a pizza, but stuffed in a garlic knot. Definitely hope to try the pizzas one day! Mr. Moto Pizza 879 W Harbor Dr San Diego, CA 92101

Visit Hong Kong: Mong Kok Night Market

One evening in Hong Kong we decided to check out the Mong Kok Night Market.  There you'll find a lot of street food kiosks as well as a section known as the Ladies' Market, where you can buy souvenirs, clothing, art, accessories, and more.
We ended up not getting any food, but we did buy some souvenirs and toys.  


Haggling is expected, but I'm not a haggler by any means.  When the lady from whom my son wanted to buy an anime toy from told me it was $550HKD, I looked up the conversion on my phone ($70USD) and told my son we have to pass.  I wasn't about to pay $70 for something I could probably get on Amazon for about $20.  

I told her "no thank you," then she immediately said $120HKD ($15USD), so I bought it.  

I was pretty shocked at how high the initial price was and how quickly she lowered the price to get a sale, but the experience revealed a lot to me about the night market.

I'm sure I could've gotten the price lowered more, but I was happy to pay the $15 - no active haggling needed.
