So after our breakkie....we walk back to Nathan Road to get our A21 bus to Airport. Which cost HKD 33 per person.


Once we reach to the Airport (It's Terminal 2 ya for AirAsia flight...dont get down the bus when it reach, they going to stop at Terminal 1 first, wait for the second station)



After all the check in....we walk the train to another terminal to get on board to the plane...


This is the shoot while i was sitting in the train...moving very slow only....compare to MTR...hehehe....but i purposely make the photos look like moving very fast.... :-)

So after hop in the plane...off we go!!...Finnaly mange to snap some sky-view of Hong Kong.

Very nice and clear blue skies when i am coming back that time....but i heard now its a raining wor...lucky me... :)

Ciows!!

My 3rd Day in HK....

Wow....so fast its already 3rd day in Hong Kong. And since today was nothing much to do and still early (i am used to it of waking up at 7am every morning), so we choose the so-called half day tour given by the GoHoliday package. Actually the GoHoliday package was given free by the
AirAsia...so we just go la....since the first we reach no one come and pick us up in the Airport...but luckily the Tour Guide leave a message in our hotel to let us call him and arrange the half day tour.

But let me tell you 1 thing, if you really wanna go for that half day tour, FORGET ABOUT IT!!

Why? Coz they bring you to the nonsense place one la...which you can go by yourself. For example:

Photo taken in Avenue Of Star, with this Bruce Lee guy. C'mon, you can go to Avenue of Start by yourself right? Its easy...MTR can be connectted to Tsim Sha Tsui station...walk out follow the EXIT 'J', and voila...you can see that Avenue of Stars. I prefer you guys go in the evening. Why? coz there got a show of SYMPHONY of LIGHT from Kowloon side. Everyday, 8pm.


Another shot taken in Avenue of Stars.. over look to Kowloon Building...its nice...but the weather is too HOT!!!...

So after the Avenue of Stars visit...the tour guide bring us to this JC Jewelries. Said that its own by Jackie Chan and another rich guys. Told by the tour guide that the jewelries that sell there are much cheaper...so me and my wife go there and look see look see lor...end of the day...the sales person there are very pushy...must ask you to buy something from them...

So i said..sorry..I AM NOT INTERESTED!!!...The only they let us go back to the bus! another Con-men shop! They only bring tourist to there...so beware guys, dont buy anything from there...coz the price are more expensive compare to Nathan Road Jewelries shop.

So after 2 place we went with that so-called half day tour, we ask for a stop somewhere near MTR station, coz we are really got no interest to follow those buying trip then sight seeing trip.

And before we get down from the tour bus, the guy ask for tips, which is HKD 50 per person. WTF? Kindda crap right? But anyhow we do pay also la...he said CARI MAKAN only wor...TNS!

So the tour guide drop us somehwere near the Jordan Road and we have our 'brunch' there. Pretty cheap food in those Char Chan Teng in Jordan Road. So after some eating, we go to the nearst MTR station and buy a ticket which looks like this :

While we walking toward the MTR station in Jordan Road...there got a lot of shop selling chinese herbs and stuff. And most of the shop there are not small...its HUGE and sell a lot of 'Hoi-Mei' dried seafood item.

While we walking in to the MTR Tunnel, i saw this building, looks pretty weird...slim and tall building. So i take the phots down and show you guys... :)

So from Jordan MTR Station, we took the train to Sham Shui Po. why we go there? Hehehe...its a heaven for guys!

It's a place called APLIU street.


What do Apliu Street got to do with guy? Coz selling all BIG BOY TOYS!!

From camera to binoculars. Everything under 1 street. Electronics to gadget stuff. You name it...they have it. The price? FREAKING cheap!!!!!! But, please bargain, these peole love you guys to bargain with them. :)

This is how the street looks like:


It do looks similiar to Jalan Pasar in KL or Petaling Street, but the stuff they sell there are much more than in Jalan Pasar. I can said 10/10 for Apliu Street. And not forrgetten, i bought a lot of stuff there too...

So you guys out there who wanna but good cheap electronic stuff...please visit Apliu Street. Highly recommended.

After few hours hang out there...its time for another round of shopping in Causeway Bay. Sorry this round of shopping, no photo taken...coz too busy shopping and too crowded to snap photos.

I can said, Causeway Bay are much crowded than Mongkok (during the day time). So after a round of shopping in Sogo (Causeway Bay) we head to THE PEAK!

Too bad we didn't manage to go to Times Square in Causeway Bay coz ots already evening. We need to go to the peak before its get dark, or else nothing much to see.

So before we reach to the Tram Station, we had some photoshooting in the park where the Olympic Horse shown there. Why the horse? Coz there will be a Equestrian event held in HK during the Olympic lor...


So once we reach to the Tram station, wow....the que is so long. So we didnt take the Tram up to The Peak, we opt for the Taxi ride. Which is quite cheap...only HKD 48 dollar from the Tram Station to The Peak. So we minus the waiting time lor...

Once we reach to The Peak...there got a shopping mall...selling all kind of things. Mostly souveniar:

SP we get some of the fridge magnet as a gifts for our friends back in KL. :)

And there even got a Olympic Souveniar shop...sell a lot of beijing Olympic stuff...esp this one... The Mascot... :)

and the gold bar...cannot afford to buy ler..too expensive...hehehe...


So after some round of shopping, we go to the Madam Tussad Wax Muzium. Taken photos with my idol again! Bruce Lee. Actually it looks quite real tho... :)

After a long day of walking and shopping, finnaly we reach to the in-famous The Peak to have nice view of Hong Kong at night. It really breath taking. This is the best shot i can give.

*Please click on the image for larger picture viewing.

After 10 minute of unlimited viewing of Hong Kong night view, we make a move back to Mongkok. Yet, this time the Tram are still long que down the hill. So opt for another round of taxi ride down hill. yeah, i know it was not a good idea for those first timer like me not to take the tram...but the que was really unbearable. And we are hungry too....so quick quick go back Mongkok and have our dinner lor... :-)

So all this while we watch the TVB show said that 'Ta-Lang', we also wanna try la...see how good and cheap was it. But to my suprise again...its not that expensive also....but the environment that we seat while eating are priceless!!! Check the picture out....hehehe....

Its at the roadside of Sai Yeung Choy Street, where everyone was walking pass our table...really good for 'people watching'.

And my friend have to stand by the roadside to have a puff...this is what typical Hongkies do, YOU WANNA SMOKE? FIND A PLACE NEAR TO THE DUSTBIN!!! or else...u will get fine HKD 5000. Please take note guys, if you are smoker.

After our dinner, we have our final shopping in mongkok. Finally we head to Esprit for some cheap bargain!! And while my wife do the shopping, i do mostly the shooting....esp. the street of Mongkok....

As usual....Mongkok street are busy

You will 1 thing in Mongkok....huge TV are every corner....doing TV show to News...unbelieveable clear picture from that huge TV...

Before we head back to our hotel, i so wanted to try out the famously known by Hongkies, CURRY FISHBALL. It cost me HKD 4 for 1 stick (6 fishball in a stick). Taste wise...ok ok la...compare to the KL one are more spicy. In HK, their food are not very spicy and they dont serve Cili Padi or Sambal.

This is how the Curry Fishball look like...sorry...first 2 fishball i makan already...hehehehe...

After that...i buy some Red Bean Paste cake...freshly bake by the roadside....3 piece for HKD 10. Taste not bad...

This is how the typical roadside shop selling all kind of food in Mongkok. From Stinky Tofu to Curry Fishball. And most of this shop operate nearby to a junction and 7-11. :) You know why? Coz when u are thirsty, u can grad a drink in the nearby 7-11.... :)

After so many food going down to out stomach....its about time to grab few bottle of Yakult back to hotel to drink lor....but if u look at it a glance....it looks like a Vitagen in M'sia....but in HK, the Yakult taste more milky...

So after the long day...we finally go back to hotel and rest. Our leg are almost numb due to too many walking. But let me tell u guys one thing, if u wanna go Hong Kong for sight seeing...be prepare to WALK a lot!!! Hehehe....

Till my next post and my last day post in Hong Kong,....

See ya guys... have a good read and please drop a comment if possible.

Ciows..

2nd day in HK...

...was a Disneyland Day!!

Hehehe....my wife sooo wanted to go for this Disneyland in HK, so we just go la...and let me see how special it was...
Before we start our journey that day, we go for this dim sum restaurant, just next to the hotel, which is just open recently, (it called New Star Restaurant), they served nice and cheap Dim Sum. trust me, its even more cheaper than eating in KL. But the crowd was madness!! So early (i mean 7.30 am) its already fully pack with old people (we are the youngest, i guess) coz most of the customer there are around 60's years old....

This is how the restaurant looks like in the morning....have to wait in line for your turn and have to share table with strangers too....so guys, be prepare for it if you are eating in such restaurant. :)

The thing that we order that morning are:

This is the famous Char Siew Pau

Combination set which cost HKD 10 for this...cheap ass man!!!

And this is the Lobak Ko...which ginger somemore...

Delicious Shrimp Chee Cheung Fun... :)

Another Steam Dim Sum combination...also price HKD 10 per basket!!

Yeah...i know i know....its kindda too many things ordered that morning...coz we are excited...not the food is good...coz the price are cheap!! 2 person with chinese tea only cost us HKD 100. For all of the above...what do u expect right??

So after the breakkie we walk back to Stanford Hotel, we go to TsimShaTsui for a short walk first (we are suing the hotel buss shuttle), coz its still early ma...no need to go so early one la...most of the Hongkies told me that...coz the theme park is small wor...so we go to National Olympic Muzeum first and from there, we took some nice photos near the Pier.

After some nice photoshooting, we head down to the nearst MTR station in that place, i really forgetten the name of that place, but its actually go thru a shopping mall (Sogo) then u can find the MTR station. So we take few interchange from TsimShaTsui to HK Disneyland...the last train to Disneyland was wholly own by Disneyland i guess....coz everthing inside the train was Disneyland theme....hehehe..

The handle are Mickey logo... :)

Even the train window are mickey logo...

So once we reach...have to buy the ticket...which cost me HKD 295 person, only for the weekdays coz weekend are cost higher...HKD 350 if i not mistaken. This is how the ticket looks like:

I think they see me and my wife, 1 guy and 1 girl...they give ticket also 1 mickey and 1 minnie... :)

The entrance to Disneyland...(be prepare to walk...coz its far from the gate...)

After bought the ticket, you will pass thru a security check....they will search your bag...make sure no food is in your bag...they will not allowed you to bring in any food...so please take note about that. Food NO-NO, water or drinks..YES!

The security are doing the checking...thats make the que long...sigh..

Donald and Daisy...

Merlin the Witch Doctor...

Princess Belle and Sleeping Beauty

As u guys can see...its a clear blue skies...so...the weather are really HOT!!! The view from the Fairtyland Castle.. :)

The rest of the mascot...didint got time to look for them also...always have to line-up...and the weather was so hot...tiring summore...hehehe....tiring from shopping i guess...

So the latest attraction in Disneyland now are the High School Musical...

If any of you guys are thinking of getting a ride in the Disneyland theme park...they will give a Boarding Pass while lining-up...so that...no one will cut que...

So towards the 8pm...its the Firework dispaly time...i can say its very nice display...coz its combine the music from all the Disney show...and the speaker are just blasting every corner in Disneyland...playing non stop of the Disney theme song....but just too bad i miss the Parade...coz was busy buying Disneyland Merchandise...

After the long day playing and walking in the Disneyland...finally we have our lunch + tea break in of the restaurant there...price wise was okie...not that bad...HKD 120 for 2 person. This is what we had:

Pork Meat Steam Rice

Chicken and Squid Steam Rice...

So after all the happy ending firework...we took the MTR train back to Mongkok for another round of shopping...which is the famous 'Sports Shoe Street'

This street really have about 40 to 50 shop...selling all range of sports shoes and sports things. From Jersey to Sockings...and they open till quite late too...about 11.30pm. Why? you will know why when i post the next picture...

Can u see that...in Mongkok....almost pass midnight...and the people on the street are still damn a lot...just like our pasar malam here....but the crowd are start at very early and end very very late. Their culture is to hang out in this places...Hongkies and tourist...this place is over-crowded!! But...if you like me...love photoshoting...this place is heaven!!...Coz a lot of pretty girls. :)

You guys can check out the Ladies Market too...near the Mongkok MTR station...its just like our M'sia Petaling Street...but...more spacious...not so crampie...and those people who sell things there are more friendly...not like M'sia...all foreigner sell things...there more professional... :)

And this is very interesting display...i bought one back for my daughter room...very nice and cute indeed...
