I didn’t bring my iBook so I was not able to blog and update my Multiply. Besides, I had no time. Was out most of the time seeing places and looking for some “good buys”. *wink*
Here’s a quick run down on what I saw, what we did (and what I remember…) *hehehe*
1. Hongkong has a nice airport. Much better than Changi Airport of Singapore (if we are talking about airports in Asia).
2. There are 9 Milan Stations in HK. I was able to see 3 of them. One in Mongkok and two in Tsim Tsa Tsui.
3. HK lives in a lap of luxury. HK is an advanced, business-minded, materialistic city. *hahaha* Hongkongers will always love their designer labels.
4. HK is jammed with high-end shopping malls: a walk through downtown needn’t once involve stepping onto the pavement as all major buildings contain malls linked by overhead walkways.
Each of them bristles with the highest-profile brand names like Christian Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. Road-level stores boast prestigious car marques like Rolls Royce, Benz and Jaguar. And all of them brim with wealthy people who have money to burn.
5. Parking spaces are overly expensive (almost nor equal to brand new cars!) so most of Hongkongers cannot afford to have one. They usually WALK and take public transportations. I got to experience this for the entire 4 days and it was exhausting!!! I got blisters on my feet on the FIRST day! *sheez!*
6. People live in building/condos some in the mountains and there is NO earthquake in HK. Well, something common with Korea.
As for our itinerary, here it goes…
1st day (afternoon) was spent in Disneyland. Everyone knows that Disneyland brings out the child in us. It was so amusing! ☺
2nd day (morning) was our city tour and afternoon was our free time. We decided to see Ocean Park. It was still a holiday in HK so mostly of the HK nationals were also in there so you can just imagine how big the crowd was.
We were supposed to go to Nyong Ping 360 on the 3rd day but Xave and I preferred to shop instead. The entire day was used up for SHOPPING. Went Mongkok for the flea market where we bought some pasalubongs for friends and relatives then in the late afternoon we took the hotel shuttle to and from Tsim Tsa Tsui for the designer shops where I grabbed my handbag and Xave’s wallet.

Last day was for our side trip to Macau. It was kinda “bitin” and we had to go back to HK earlier than the rest to make it for our flight back to Manila... We should’ve stayed for 5 days. *tsktsktsk*
Anyhow, we had a blast in HK! ☺ ☺ ☺
