6 days Hong Kong trip... surely enjoying and exciting!

yeah! i am back from Hong Kong, my 6 days Hong Kong trip.. it was a tiring and "aching" trip yet an enjoyable and happy trip.

tiring becos there r so many places to go within 6 days and aching becos of all the walking... imagine 14 escalators up and 14 escalators up everyday from our residence at Mid-Levels.. ~~phew.. tough exercise ah.. everyday after our meals, we will do exercise by walking and walking... up slope and down slope.. non stop... haha.. no wonder Hong Kong pple so skinny.. they walk a lot to keep fit ah.. and admire them ah.. ladies can wear high heals to walk up and down steep slope, guys can wear jacket and suit to walk here and there.. so hot weather leh.. wow!!!

so many places of interests to go... we din go for all but at least we covered most of it.. we went to Ocean Park (din have enough time to play lor.. sad), Madame Tussand's @ the Peak, Wong Tai Sin Temple, Che Kung Temple, Big Buddha @ Lantau Island, Avenue of Stars... shopping everywhere... Ladies Street, Temple Street, Sportswear street, Time Square, SOGO... but items in Hong Kong r juz as exp as Spore's so i oso din buy much. juz tat we went to Espirit warehouse and i bought a jacket. the most exp present i bought for myself for tis trip. a bit guilty though... haiz...

i am amazed by a few tings in hong kong. 1stly, their transportation systems. their MTR is so accessible and it is rather well built. so wide area and is so deep underground.. so many levels down... considering all their island, at least main islands r connected to the famous outlying island. well done! 2ndly is the airport express train. it is so so convenient and moreover there is a pre-check in system for travelers to check in their language 1st @ the MTR in city so as not to rush.. isn't it more convenient, esp for business travelers? yeahz! 3rdly, is their service. so fast and more sincerity. when we go and eat, we r being served within 5mins after ordering of food, is so fast and no need to wait at all.. when we go to the shops, i can feel the sincerity in their services. they treat their customers in general. they dun differentiate their attitude towards locals or tourists. as long as they r customers... tis is someting i dun see in spore. cos spore service is rather slow... got to wait for more than 10mins to be serve in restaurants, got to tolerate those service attitudes.. haiz.. spore ah.. lost in tis way lor...

overall i enjoyed myself for the trip and i felt so happy to be able to complete my 1st overseas trip tat was planned totally by myself from start to end... along the way, i learnt a lot of tings and how impt tolerating and accomodating is. i love to plan my own trip and hopefully in future there will be more chance.. i dun mind going back to Hong Kong again.. but not so much for the shopping. i am not the shopping kind. i juz wanna learn and experience their lifestyle and environment...

successful trip! yeah! can gear up myself before i set off for studies in July liao... haha... :)
