=) me back frm hk le..seems to lost track of time there.now exists a 'back to reality ' kind of feeling..
Enjoyed this trip.. think it will be etched in my memory for as long as it is..firstly reg plane.. haha glad tt i din make a fool out of myself on plane..was quite nervous during take off part..later was ok.. more calm than usual.. thank God there r no turbulances.. =)also to clara who tried distracting me hee
Amazed at our map reading skills for these 6 days ..ha we covered quite a no. of places .. Repulse Bay,Tsim Sha Tsui ( includes Avenue of Stars, Space Museum shopping area), Causeway Bay (shopping area), Mong Kok (shopping area for youngsters , cheaper stuff.. 'ladies market' , sports street..r also fd there ),pass through Temple street ( it is a different look of hk.. quite a messy place, we felt quite uneasy there so decided just to walk thru as fast as we cld).. went up to Victoria Peak..(think din get to see much of the scenary, too foggy..) then went Macau (St. Paul Cathedral, Macau Tower,Wine museum)...ice wine in the museum is nice =)
Oh, thanx to our tour guide 4 a day..who brought us to eat roast pigeon n to the peak..jc fren, gm, haha think he quite poor thing, made him acc us 4 a day though he lacks slp n has to endure wif 6 girls..esp the shopping part.. think he almost bored to death..then but really appreciate his hospitality. =)
Basically what is advertised by the hk tourism board is quite apt.. in hk, it is really shop n eat, shop n eat..=P then it is a nite city, shops will close ard midnite, then even so, there will still be many ppl walking along the streets..By e way, walked n shop so much tt dun ask me to go shopping.. hmm maybe for the nxt one mth.. =P most of e time just window shop, din buy much.. cos e stuff in hk abt e same as in singapore..
Then observed that most ppl there are very well groomed..seldom see girls on streets without make up or guys without their hair styled..then ha also noticed their fashion trend this summer.. they go for layers..guys n gals alike..oh, most ppl also use branded stuff.. was thinking hw can they afford it? or r they imitatios? i have no idea...
Found tt media in hk is also quite liberal..they can talk abt religion quite openly.. chanced upon a program regarding Christianity.. there's a lady sharing her testimony of Christ on TV.. woah.. think it'll be powerful if can do tt in Singapore.. since influence of media is great.. oh then heard that tt is their own channel...
Hmm then also discovered that the food in hk is unhealthy, it's meat, meat, meat for most of the time with little veg n fruits.. ha had a hard time looking 4 them..then the portion of the food is big.. ate a lot during this trip..but on e whole e food there is quite nice.. oh, like an eatery by e name of 'tang dynasty', they have v nice desserts..shrimp dumplings.. n porridge..=)
On the whole, this trip quite an eye-opener.. thanx to my frens.. who made e trip memorable..though there were awkward moments (b4 trip n during abit).. but believed tt we've forged stronger ties ya..=)
