Hong Kong (8 Jun- 15 Jun) Day 1

Thursday, June 18, 2009 3:11 PM

This trip, was solely planned out by me, Yvonne (HAHA!) & it really gives me a lot of learning experience of planning a 8 days, 7 nights trip in just 4 days.. ^^

At the very beginning, dunno should say we (my sis, my mum & me) were too excited or what, we even mixed up the airline we're supposed to take.. We took Tiger Airways at The Budget Terminal, flight is at 11.30am & we had MacDonalds breakfast before flying.. When on the flight, i found it hard to really relax/sleep even though i only had 4 hours of sleep the day before.. I keep going through the itineraries that i've planned many times, just to check if i've missed out anything..

At around 3.40pm, we've reached Macau International Airport & we face the first difficulty; getting a bus to Wynn Macau & we were like keep walking around & around, trying to decide what to do.. becoz we didn't see the shuttle bus as mention by my brother.. In the end, we asked one of the staff in the airport & took a public bus which cost us abt HKD$4.20/pax (around SGD$0.80) to Wynn Macau.. From there, we then walk to the bronze Buddha Status by the sea, we were sort of a bit of struggling with reading the map; trying to figure out whether we are looking at the correct direction & also ask my mum to ask the locals the direction in Cantonese..

At least we reached the Buddha status at around 5pm, took several pictures,buy a cup of bubble tea which cost HKD$25 (around SGD$4.80) which considered very expensive & walk to our Hotel (Metropark Hotel).. We did found that street & area but, we faced with the 2nd difficulty of the day which is finding the exact place.. Becoz the whole area, all buildings look exactly like one another; this includes the hotel too.. We had a hard time finding it, even though we asked the locals (they were not sure either), so we just based on our luck & instinct.. When we finally found it, we were like, "OMG, we walked past this area before lor.. Just that their signboard was like damn "big", that we cannot see, -_-"' ... haha..

After putting our luggage & settle our things, we took a bus to Av. Almeida Ribeiro (新马路）, which is an area where there's a lot of shopping, food & historical place concentrated at.. We ate our lunch + dinner there & went to the famous historical place; Ruins of St. Paul's...

After all sight- seeing, we actually walk back to hotel & then rest for the day for my mum & sis, i still have to check & plan the itinerary again coz tmr we are taking the ferry to HK.. haiz.. it's a hard work man...
