My Hong Kong Journal-Day 1

[day 1] reached airport @ 8am. many pple were queueing up to check in their luggages. pf was the earliest to reach, jw & her sis were a little late. i saw her parents and bro too. reached hk in'tl airport @ abt 1pm plus. we waited for quite sometime b4 the person-in-charge brought us and the rest to our respective hotels. We lived in Dorsett Garden Hotel @ jordan, nanking street. Mum & aunt joanna's room was on the same floor as mine ( with pf & sis). jw & her sis's rm was on the 10th floor. haha! damn lucky to have a bigger room coz' our rm got 3 beds..hehe! the 2-bedded rooms were damn small...especially their bathroom...horrible! anyway, got many singaporeans in the same hotel too...

went to hk island after we settled everything. we visited places like central, admiralty & causeway bay..very crowded..haha! hk island got many shopping centres, like sogo, times square & pacific etc..well, their shopping centres were quite alike lah, butta alittle diff from ours. their branded goods stores were all on the ground levels or the 1st few levels above ground. then other middle-class stores were scattered to the higher levels or basement...quite messy somehow. I am surprised not to see some brands which we commonly see in sg. for eg, ocean pacific, isetan, kinokuniya, takashimaya etc..saw popular bookshop in shatin's festival walk shopping centre though. hah!

if u like small tibits or 小吃..then u have come to the right place. got alot of shops selling all sorts of food in sticks. many of them are not available in sg yo! so must try sia!

as i said in my earlier entry that hk island got tram services. must take also!

there were many young pple there, their fashion style were quite diff from ours. alot of teens wore punk clothes..haha! oh ya! many women also wore boots...high boots..normally in white, brown & black colours. i guessed they wore it becoz of the "cold "weather ba...

if i remembered correctly, we also went to temple street 庙街 in kowloon, actually also quite near my hotel lah. got alot of tourists there and the stores sell all sorts of things. again, i wanna say that dont anyhow buy lah, must check the price all that lor. got alot of men there lah so gals be more careful! gotta squeeze urself all the way thru' the street lah..quite long..hehe! didnt buy anything there lah...their nite mkts were better than our parsa malam though.
