Hongkong was awfully splendid! Before i took off, many told me that the food there was awesome and of a very big serving. Yeap, they were half right. The food there was definitely of a bigger serving but not as nice as it seems. The worst meal was egg and luncheon noodle! Boonchoon carmen and i thought that it must be some DRY beehoon bcos its paired with luncheon meat and egg. But alas, its maggie in soup! What's worse?! They threw in FRIED EGG and FRIED luncheon causing the maggie soup to be terribly oily! It's extremely gross and it bloody costs us about 4sgd!
First DayWe purchased an octopus card and an airport express tix the very minute we reached hk. Then we headed to olympic station where our hotel is situated. Right after, we proceed to central station for lunch and shopping. Evening, we made for the peak, where Madame Tussauds situates. Took heaps of pictures which were all loaded into my photo album. Laugh all you want while browsing (:
Second DayTook off to disneyland early in the morning. Spent almost the whole day there. If you're going to hongkong for a holiday, i highly recommend disneyland as one of the MUST-GO attractions! Despite the costly entrance fee (: We spent most of our time searching for mascots (taking pictures).
Third DayWe set off for the great giant buddha the very morning. It was severely cold that day. The sculpture is known as the world's tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha. One of the main attractions of this Buddha statue is climbing 268 steps up where the Buddha sits. And can you believe it?! The four of us managed to reach the peak! However, our limbs were all wobbly and we were panting like crazy. Right after, we went on to Tsim Sha Tsui to watch the avenue of stars at their waterfront.
Fourth DayWe travelled to the wishing tree which is far far away from our hotel. It was then that i realised red colour cabs are much more cheaper than green colour cabs. When we reached our destination, we found out that the former wishing tree has changed. The tree's botak and they have alr removed those "bao die" which were once thrown up the tree. The four of us wrote our wishes on the "bao die"s and hung them on some wooden plank. Next up, Snoopy land! Nothing much there, in fact, its kinda boring. Hence, we took a few pictures, shop shop at zara and esprit then scurried off to causeway bay and mongkok for more shopping.
Fifth DayHave to meet up with carmen's hongkong relatives bcos her mom needs her to buy handphones back to singapore. Thus, we did some touch-up. We went to places which we have not entirely explored. After which, we met carmen's aunt in the evening at mongkok. Her uncle treated us stinky tofu. The smell was not as pungent as I thought it will be. One of a cousin brought us around mongkok area since mongkok's like so big. We also tried their well-known mango and strawberry ice! They were heavenly (:
Sixth DayI've been wanting to go ocean park like say the first day of the trip, thinking that it'll be very fun. It aint that great unfortunately ): We saw 2 cute eurasian girls-sammi & tania at the frog hopper ride. I chatted with them since they're on the same ride as me. I learnt that they're singaporean (their mom: chinese, dad: scottish). We met them again later in the evening while we're about to go back. Tania went onto the same cable car as me and told me manymany stuffs! Both of us agree that plump boys are smelly and ugly :D
Last DaySet off to stanley street which was recommended by Tania's mom. Then we went Tsim Sha Tsui to get my skinnies changed and carmen bought her patty anne (: Thereafter, boonchoon bought her 15boxes of lao po bing at sogo!
CLICK FOR PICTS!
