Hong Kong 3rd-5th Jan 2009

Went HK before but with parents in law.. so din go much places..
went Disneyland HK... dun think its fun..

But this round i can say I really "see" HK.. cos went to quite alot of places..
Temperature ~15-18 Degree.. exchange rate: S$1=HK$5.3

Day 1:
Once reached hotel, me, dear, stella n grace enrol to a gp tour.
its HK$320.
Includes going to wax museum @ the peak, dinner with roasted goose,
then to "Avenue of Stars", thereafter seat in open-top bus to bring us to "女人街".
Think its quite worth it cos got transport so no need to keep walking..
-Of all the wax artifact, only Andy lau's heart really got heart beat. So must go touch it. Its rather amazing they can be made so real...
-To take pic with Jackie chan must pay money oh.
-Enter the "Scary tunnel" in the Wax museum.. Hmm.. so so la..
-Bought Bling bling t-shirts at the museum.. HK$100 (S$19) each
-Tour guide said to put 1 paperbag into a cab's carboot will be charged HK$5. Each paperbag cost HK$5 regardless big or small oh.. interesting..
-There's no mid-nite charge for cab.
-The Avenue of Star is like the Shanghai's 外滩.
Super cold cos of the strong blowing wind..
But me n dear just stroll along the lane... relaxing..
-Sitting in topless bus is super cold too! Like sitting in open boat in Paris..
jus different scenaries..
-There's lots n lots of neon lights board..
i was wondering is it wasting energy oh..
anyway, its an experience oh.. nice city, cool weather..
-Tried sotong, 臭豆腐 at 女人街..
臭豆腐 very crispy outer layer.. nice.. but the chilli sauce is super salty.
sotong very salty, HK food generally quite salty oh.
-Also tried yummy dessert..
Coconut Noodle with extra mango..
Happy to merge with the Xinyi & guys..
Day 2:
Morning, P90 went to search for famous traditional Dim Sum 茶餐厅.
walk super long.. shag man..
its very pack.. we waited ard 15-20 then found a big table for us..
As its Sun, there's alot of maids resting at bridges etc.
they use cardboards to sit oh.. interesting.
Thereafter we went Ocean Park.. its HK$208..
