The next few entries of my blog will be on travelling... (Yeah! Ya my hobby is - travelling)
I had promised to post pics of my recent trips up in my blog but I haven got the time to do so. Pure laziness. So I start a series of countries tt I'd been to last 2 yrs... shall start with...Hong Kong...

@ Causeway Bay. It was 11pm at night but there are still so many people...

Tram to The Peak...

Hong Kong Tim Sum. Well, I find Singapore's one much more delicious. I tried Tim Sum in 2 different restaurants. But both were.... quite disappointing.

The Busy Nathan Road.... Orchard Road of Hong Kong

Temple at Repulse Bay...

View of Hong Kong Island @ Avenue of Stars. Every nite, @ 8pm, there will be a laser show there.

And this is the Avenue of Stars

Airport express...

Places I went to in HKG: Avenue of Stars, Victoria Peak, Snoopy World, Space Museum, Cultural Ctr, Repulse Bay, Aberdeen, Stanley, Mong Kok, Ladies St, Mosque St, Causeway Bay, Wang Cai, Bank of China, HSBC Bank, Tsim Tsa Tsui, etc etc.

Hong Kong Trip review: Hong Kong wasnt as fun as I had expected. Maybe my expectation is too high. Well, Hong Kong is just like Singapore... Just that instead of speaking English, they speak Cantonese. Shops are opened till as late as 12am! 11pm and u can still see people shopping @ their busiest shopping district.

Standard of living there is about the same as Sgp's. But a proper meal (eg chicken rice) can cost u at least S$5 (Sgp, u can get it conveniently at $2.50). Trains and bus fares are about the same as Singapore. They have this Octupus Card where u can use it almost everywhere... Take a bus, take a train, take a cable car, pay for the things you buy at 7-11 etc etc.. Just like Sgp's EZ Link card.

Hotel is about S$110-S$130 per nite @ a 3 star hotel. Hostel I wd recommend YWCA. Its ard S$40 per person per nite. Air conditioned.

3D4N stay wd be enough if u wan to go there for a short shopping trip.

5D4N stay wd be enough if u want to cover Disneyland, Ocean park and the rest of HKG.

6D5N stay is enough if u wan to cover Disneyland, OceanPark and ShenZhen.

Airfare: Flying by Jet star is still the cheapest way to get u from SGP to HKG. But book early and look out for discount. Becoz for $300, U can get a flight from SGP to HKG by Cathay or Northwest. SGP Airlines is ard $100+ more ex den cathay and Northwest.

Peak season: August - HKG shopping festival... Well, depends on you lah. I prefer to go dur Nov - Mar season because hotel there is cheaper dur off peak, and weather is cooler.

Remember, Hong Kong is just like Singapore. U can travel on your own. A map will do. There are plenty of HKG maps at HKG airport. Dun worry, u wont get lost... Even if u want to travel to ShenZhen, its damn easy lor.

Overall, I wd rate this trip 7/10.

Next few entries: JY@China (ShenZhen and Shanghai), JY@Japan ( Tokyo and Osaka ), JY@Taiwan (KenTing and Kao Hsiung), JY@Switzerland (Bern, Luciene and Zurich), JY@France, JY@Malaysia... Paiseh, coz i use digital cam onli in these few places.. So cannot post those pictures I took in oth countries which I took pics using film cameras...
