Start the year right by doing something different and new, and that's exactly what we did by my sister...we flew to Hongkong last January 17 and spend our week in HK and Macau :)
It's my first time actually to visit other country, although it's my sister's second time to visit the place. I'm so excited to go to HK with a side trip in Macau that I drained my bank account and just left a measly amount to avoid it being closed by the bank.
Going to the international airport is just like being in a domestic one except for the immigration process and being a first timer has its own downside. The immigration lady in the counter had too many questions for me, like what will I do in HK and what's my work here and many more. I think she's suspecting me not to return when I reach HK. tsk tsk
My sister's the one responsible in guiding me in Hongkong so I didn't even bother to check vital info regarding the place and that's my big mistake. I didn't know that its freezing there minus the snow until my sister mentioned it before we leave the house, good thing I already packed my trusty jacket in my luggage. :)
It's freaking 10 degrees when we landed in HK and I'm not really used to this kind of weather especially when you consider how hot it is here in Manila.
Anyways, it's already late in the afternoon when we arrived so we immediately went to the place where we would be lodging, and my sister decided to try in the cheapest place she could see, the Cosmic Guest House and coincidentally, that's also the place where my co-workers stayed during their trip in HK last year. To maximize our stay in HK, we decided to start our tour right after we were settled. And our first stop, the Avenue of Stars.
The following day, we decided to went and spend half of the day in Hongkong Disneyland!!!
Just took some photos and rode one ride, the Space Mountain coz all the other rides were either too childish for us or the queuing line is too long and we don't have enough time to stay.
After that we went to The Peak, and because it's already nighttime and the place is at the peak...we experienced the coldest temp in HK and we already had a smoky breath.
After that, we went to the night market to do some shopping and buy some souvenir but unfortunately we didn't find one or rather we don't have enough money to buy one. We decided to look first in Macau and if we didn't find any then we'll go back in HK to buy our souvenirs, after all our flight going back is in HK.
Our Hongkong trip is so good and so fast that I really wanted to go back there someday. There's still a lot of places I would like to visit. I really heart HK now, and if I ever go back there I promise to bring lots of money so I could go shopping. I really want to have a trench coat and gloves while walking in the streets of HK so next time I'll visit I'll do that.
