Back from HK!

Lei ho!


I am back from HongKong! Feeling very happy cos I can't believe I just went to HK! Haha. Happy, but broke at the same time.


Have to thank WY and her family for being such great hosts, for bringing us around and making us feel welcomed. Her little cousin is damn cute(but horrendously noisy) by the way. Though HK's public transportation system is rather well-developed, it is always a bonus to have someone who knows their way to bring us around.


4 plus days there and we rode on almost all the public transports! Normal buses, public light buses(aka those mini-vans), ferry(to HongKong Island), MTR, light rail, taxis...u name it, we took it. LOL.


HongKong is a great place for shopping! You see shopping centres and rows of shops all around you. I was practically swimming in the sea of shops selling clothes. Stuff there are not dirt cheap like Bangkok's, but they are still relatively cheaper than Singapore's, plus there's a wider variety. One thing I got to mention is the Esprit stuff there. T-shirts prices mostly range between S$10-S$20. I bought 2 shirts, 1 jacket and 1 pair of pants for only SGD70 bucks! I can't even buy a pair of pants here with this amount of money! Oh, and u can get Adidas(plus some other brands) products at super low prices at their warehouse outlets. Cool huh. Can see why I went mad there.


Another thing worth mentioning is the dim sum and desserts in HK. I have never tasted such delicious siew mais n ee mian before! OMG. I can practically eat dim sum everyday if I live in HK. And yes, the renowned dessert shop Xu Liu Shan serves super yummy desserts. Kia went Mango-crazy(the fruit) there. LOL.


We went to all the famous districts like Mongkok, Causeway Bay, Central, Tsim Tsha Tsui, but not Disneyland, ShenZhen and Macau though. 4 days is simply not enough to go visit all the places. Hmm, shall go explore other unvisited places should I go HK again next time!


I like HK for those big flashy signboards u see everywhere on the streets, the different type of buses u see on the road, the friendly people and the mix of high-end, normal shopping centres and street markets all in one place. It's a little messy, crowded, yet endearing at the same time.


I should learn more Cantonese from now on, to better communicate with the people there the next time I go HK. =)




And haha. Life is full of surprises. I am super amazed. Ohwell.
