Why Are You Here?

Hong Kong

I'm back from Hong Kong. It was an enjoyable trip. Did everything I could to visit as many place as possible during the 4 days but in the end still fell short of achieveing the target.

Here are some observation I made during the trip to Hong Kong:

1) Young people in Hong Kong dressed up very well. 6 out of 10 young ladies can be considered above average.

2) Young People in Hong Kong have a habit of sleeping very late. It was a weekday in 1am in the morning and the shops along granville road are still open selling clothes with steady stream of customers.

3)The transport system in Hong Kong is First Class. It is very accessible to get from point A to B with the many different and affortable transport available.

4)Judging by the cars roaming around the streets, you may think that Hong Kong people are damn rich, with all the mercs, ferrari, porsche, lexus, jaguar appearing everywhere you go.

5)Traffic in Hong Kong is a killer. The drivers are a dangerous bunch, esp the cab drivers who thought they are all formulae 1 driver.

4) Hong Kong is just like Singapore. Or maybe a little more stressed. You will not get a culture shock when you step into Hong Kong but you must be ready to cope with their languages. Not everyone can understand Mandarin if you don't speak Cantonese but they are generally friendly and helpful if you ask them for directions.

These are the places I managed to visit.
1)Lin Heung Tea House- Famous place for dim sum. 2)Lan Fong Yuen- Pantyhose Tea. Took a damn long time to find this shop. 3)Centrals to Mid Levels Escalator- World Longest escalator system. 4)Tram ride- Very cheap mode of transport. S$0.40 to anywhere you want within Central district 5)HSBC Tower. Wonderful piece of artitect. 6)Causeway Bay - saw Terence Cao shopping over there. 7)Causeway Place- Spent a bomb over there because the sale assistant was pretty. 8)Ocean Park- Amusement Park. The roller coaster is NOT scarey at all. 9)Mongkok (Ladies Market,Fa Yuen Street, Nathan Rd)- Super Big Pasar Malam to bargain, a place to shop and eat to your heart contend. 10)Tsim Sha Tsui- Trendy street where I was staying. Very happening in the night. 11)Avenue of Stars @ Water Promendae 12)Wong Tai Sin Temple- A very famous temple in Hong Kong. Have my fortune told. Said I will have many many girlfriends in later part of the year and I am a bookworm. Believe it anot? 13)Watched a movie in Cantonese...with the help of English subtitles of course!

Things I did not get to do.
1)Visit the Giant Buddha. 2)Travel to the Victoria Peak 3)Visit Lan Kwai Fong 4)Take the ferry. 5)Eat inside the Jumbo Floating Resturant. 6)Visit Repulse bay 7)Visit Shek O Village and beach 8)View the Symphony of Lights Multimedia Show at the Promenade. 9)Go squid Fishing. 10)Take pictures with Pretty Hong Kong babes!!! Sob Sob...
