    Heh, I just went to Hong Kong in December. That place is amazing. The streets, the people, the food... though Disneyland was a huge disappointment. Have fun there! And yes, you definitely must go eat in those char chan tengs and dim sum restraurants!

    Dimsumland! Dont forget to visit The Peak. The scenery up there is definitely breathtaking. Yea..the harbour and all is a good place to visit. I have this strong feeling you wouldnt very much like the clothes there. It's like a Sg Wang paradise there and so much so, 7th Heaven for all lala-beings. Restaurants there is so- so..nothing impressive but if you want to eat good dim sum, go to Causeway Bay and Wan Chai or it's Tsim Tsa Tsui I think. Night life is wonderful. Visit Lan Kwai Fong. Central in the Hong Kong Island is fantastic. It's just so corporate like and Triumph in the Skies was filmed there.

    If you happen to be staying at JW Marriott HK, take lots and lots of pictures. Views from the hotel rooms are B-E-A-U. Drop by The Peninsula hotel to catch stars having tea at the lobby restaurant. If Im not mistaken, I think I saw Carina Lau before but I was much too ignorant to go hoo haa-ing when i saw her there. Eat Chau Tau Foo but drink damn lot of water or you will end up having a badly scorched throat. When walking, beware of pickpockets.

    There's this Sogo outlet in Causeway Bay but trust me, you did not visit Hong Kong to buy sth you can get and see in Msia. Try Times Square. It's lively and all and their escalators are damn panjang ok. Try not to take the taxi. It costs a hell lot of money. Since you are facing a situation I once faced, still am~which is bad proficiency in Chinese, oh well~give your best shot to communicate and TRY not to sound like a bloody tourist. Bargains will be a no- no and you will definitely be duped. Tried and tested. Travel round HK with MTR. Very convenient and accesible. Buy their Octopus card. Will be damn convenient while travelling. Ok..too long..gotta stop. Have fun!

    haha..after all those years of visits, I think I very well qualify as a tour guide. Relatives galore. Octopus cards a big help? Thank the HK government but the credit depletes rather fast. Transportation over there is just bloody expensive. I mean just anything esp food and transport. Money suckers.

    waifon : i wanna marry the octopus card...!! i WISH malaysia had it man .. so convenient!!! hey ask you something, i wanna go back to HK in the summer cos i completely missed my chance to go to miu kai, wong tai sin temple and stanley .. roughly may 29th! (hi, jovann, you know you want me to go with you) i hear it's freaking freaking hot and just so horribly humid in HK at that time .. but would you recommend a trip to HK during the summer anyway? or issit just better to go elsewhere?
  • waifon · 3 years ago
    It's horrendously hot and burning in the summer~Almost like what it is here in Malaysia but of course it will be a wee bit hotter over there. We have trees here you see but in HK..satu batang pokok pon takder. But it's all for the better. Time to whip out those sexy two strings, halter tops and hot pants yo!
    Miu Kai and Lui Yan Kai I think, is a whole lot of fun to shop but I really dont think any of the clothes, okay a lil biased over there but maybe the majority of clothes which they refer to the Japanese couture, will not interest you. But of course, bargain is the catch and provided you make urself feel really at home and sprang out typical hongkie cantonese, you'll get a bloody good price for anything.
    Wong Tai Sin temple huh? Been there and it's one hell of a smoky place over there. The smell of burnt joss sticks are not listed under my list of favourite scents. Asthma patient should keep out of that place. Visibility range barely 2 metres but it's interesting to see those devotees paying their respects to the said Gods and Godesses and praying religiously. Talk about interesting beliefs and cultures. Very traditional and you will be almost glad that these customs survived in our modernized culture. you know, cultures assimilation can totally wipe out traditions and people like me will somehow gradually turn into a banana-ier person than I am now.
    I digress.
    HK is a good place to visit all year round cuz the climate is not that extreme but getting burnt and scorched under the almighty sun is not even funny!
    A lil bit boring but I think Australia, Canada and New Zealand is the best place to visit during summer. The beaches, the moors and the farms. Oh so lovely! What about Corea? Never been there but I guess it's pretty popular in the tourism industry nowadays no?
  • pinkpau · 3 years ago
    aiks, that hot eh?! i went to Lui Yan Kai, and yup i didnt get anything there, but it was really fun to look around :) i go to those sorta places not for the shopping, but just to see what it's like and for the FOOD of course!

    as for WTS temple, a friend told me that they've got fortune tellers there..!!! i was so so sad when i heard that cos i love fortune tellers :( that and WTS is really famous? so i just wanted to go and see and snap some pix.

    yeah i was thinking australia/NZ in June, actually! i guess HK will have to wait till December.. :( as for corea, was already there recently, saw all the sights, so will prolly not be returning there anytime soon :)
