5 days 4 night in Hong Kong :: part 1
I can no longer say that I'm a Hong Kong virgin ....nor a Disney Land virgin .... as it was all break loose last weekend 11-15 Jan.
it all began when Nu mention something close to a FREE HOTEL STAY in Hong Kong at the SHANGRI LAAAA in November .......
and then it was all a blurred up until when i got back from Phuket. Nothing was booked and arrange and plus the free accommodation was not valid at that time period we wanted to go.
i was thinking .... what's the point on going if i don't get the free hotel! but then ... i guess ... they forgot that the whole point that i wanted to go to HK was because the FREE HOTEL!!!!!! heheheh (what a tight arse).
The week leading into the 11th was the most rush, panic and last minute planed trip I've ever been on. for one second i thought it'd be cancelled. but then thanks to Tan who spend the whole night researching on plan and hotel fees, Srilankan Air and their half price ticket to HK was our (last and only choice) transportation. we managed to get ourselves on the plan to HONGKONG!
HONG KONG HERE WE COME!
the first time in foreign country with no idea where i'm going and only a few words of Cantonese and Mandarin along with 3 other shopping maniac, i've landed in HK at after 2.3 hours on the smelly flight and extra curry on the tv remote control.
busting for toilets we walked quickly to the nearest restrooms to find it absolutely packed. we kept on walking and one of our HK pro shopper spotted a toilet (so she thought). we walked closer to the pointed area..... the signage was definitely a man however it was in running movement and it was green in colour ... on the top it says EXIT . . . . . .
we looked at each other and burst out in laughter. so we thought our (pro shopper) friend that ... next time ... if the toilet logo doesn't run it means it's a toilet and you can THEN use it. :P
after the immigration check out we have to find something that will get us to the hotel..... we agree that it's more expensive to catch the shuttle bus to the hotel than to catch the taxi (after asking several receptionists at the desk) we find ourselves catching the elevator down to... dunno what level but all we know is we must go down one level. heheheh how random.
due to my tourist syndrome.... i'd take photo of everything i see including the very big lift buttons. :D
stepping out of the lift is my first steps on real HK land. it wasn't so impressing as i thought i'd be but nevertheless, i'm in HK!
to be continue***
