Been lazy to update my blog. And lazy to unpack the balance of my 'possessions' - luggage has been left opened for days.
Day 1
We arrived in the city of HKG. It's a busy city. It was a miserable room with a miserable toilet and out of all - small, short and super hard bed (Pay peanuts get monkey). After unpacking our things and went straight to TST for some 'dim sim'. Well, things turned bitter when Dar is not organised and we lost our way, we were lost at where to head for, no itinerary, no direction. Of course, we tried to reconcile and put the bitterness aside. Shopped thru Jordan road. We went for famous Light show near the riverside and also to the Victoria Perk (taking the tram up was an interesting experience!). Wonderful and beautiful night scenery. Went back to TST for super late dinner @ Ajisen - they have fish maw ramen that was good.. and walking back to hotel is tiring. Unpacked again and slept at 2am
Day 2
Woke up late. Shopped most the time looking faround, shopping. Went for Espirit.. nothing. Bob Bob..Sigh.. Shopping shopping and shopping. Tried roasted goose the 1st time in my life - YUM! We went for light show again, walking further down with 'xin guan da dao'. We took some pixs, went to SOGO by coincidence and Mirmaram hotel. Went to temple street, nothing much for the quality is either bad or fake goods. Dinner at "Da Jia Le" big portion at low price. Continue with Ladies Street market, disappointed, empty handed. But Hub tried the fermented doufu (Eeeeee!!!) and I myself got addicted to the 'curry fishball' (it's like a 'must have' dish everyday!!) ;P
Day 3
Woke slightly earlier. Hub complained. It's tiring like BMT training, lotsa walking, no food and carried all my stuff all the way(heehee). We had Very BIG portion of breakfast set at one of the HongKong cafe - 3 bf sets for 2 pax. The waitress asked "for 3?", Hub smiled, "For both of us!" Shortly, we proceed to a morning market near Flower St. Cheap cheap, cheap shoes, cheap t-shirts for home wear. It poured heavily at Flower St, and out of all my shopping collection this round - I bought a wooden BASKET!! Ya, funny right? I like it so much, it's floral cloth inside and white handle, very 'angmoh' style.. Continued with Birds lovers corner nearby and Argyle Ctr - like our Far East Plz. Didnt buy much though it's cheap - still felt we have better quality. Hub bought more t-shirts. In the evening, we went to Causeway Bay, streets are like Korea - DongDaMen. Clean unlike Mongkok, Jordan and TST. 'More class la' quoted by Hub. We had the famous wonton mee, and shopping shopping.. The maids there very rich leh; we met a few of them who shopped w/o hesitation. Wow.. A Hongkonger told us maids there are not like S'pore, they stayed separately from employers and better salary and better treatment. (Like that, I also want to work there, hee hee).
Day 4 - Final Day (HOME SWEET HOME)
We missed the shuttle bus and came out late. A short trip to Repulse Bay, first - Stanley Market. Things are even cheaper there than Ladies St! We did quite a lot of shopping, for lunch, we had their 'maggie mee'. But something bad happened (Very hard to explain) but just keep in mind, gentleman, protect the girls and dont look around and walk to the end of alley yourself. :( We went back and 'ta bao' goose back for our family members... packed our things and yes, going back to airport by your own is better. We took the free ride by hotel, ended picking travellers over the place and took us 1hour 30mins to reach the HK airport! Very rush dinner and check-in. And thank God the flight reached home 30 mins earlier!! :)
In short, if you asked me whether I like the place, I would say - I love my country!
