Streets in Mong Kok

I have to remember which streets in Mong Kok I want to walk down. The Ladies market is on Tung Choi Street which is closed to traffic south of Argyle Street, a major thoroughfare that is hard to cross -- both for pedestrians and traffic.
Another interesting street is Canton Road near Shantung Street to the west of Nathan Road. At that intersection there is a Japan Home Centre. Canton Road goes north for a block or so and then seems to stop at Nelson Road which also looks like it is closed to traffic. This is right next the the Langham Place mall so maybe we can zip over and walk the area, along with Shanghai Street.
239 Reclamation StreetAnd it is definitely 239 Reclamation Street that has the store with lots of baskets, just north of Waterloo Road.
Fa Yuen StreetWhen we walk down to Ladies market or to Nathan Road, I think we should take Fa Yuen Street since it looks like it is closed to vehicle traffic and full of stands at the upper end where it meets Prince Edward Road. We can walk down Fa Yuen to Mong Kok and then cross over using the elevated pedestrian walkway. And then after Argyle Street take Tung Choi Street (if you can find a place to cross Argyle).
