OMG it's a taxi! a very old school one too! and then .... as we were standing there trying to figure out how all our bags will fit in the car .......

heheheh nothing happen really ...apart from seeing our bags half way out of the trunk and being held together by an elastic sting... that's all ..  ;)

the trip to the hotel didn't take long... ONLY 30-45 mins ONLY !!! (see the sincerity in that ? hehehe )

within that 30-45 mins also we managed to take some photos as usual to get our tourist mode stating ... (especially me )

   also managed to capture some random photo of our tour member :D     

as we arrived at the hotel... checked in and unload our bags... we picked up our new member to add to our HK shopping frenzy (also known as our tour leader at some point)  

as the tourist spirit sinks in .... we quickly freshen up ourselves and then head out to the carnival.

 (BRB)....

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.

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!

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!
