Hong Kong Day 1

Yoohoo yes I'm back from Hong Kong and it was great! In fact I already came back on Friday almost midnight, but couldn’t find time to write about it until now. I'm happy with my Hong Kong trip but Macau was just so-so. Luckily I only spent a night at Macau or it will be wasted.

Both Irene and I rushed to the ferry terminal right after we touched down at Macau so that we can reach the motel as soon as possible. The ferry ride was nauseating, so we didn’t enjoy it much and thank god we didn’t puke on each other. We took a cab when we reached Kowloon to the motel and although our room was really small but it was clean and tidy. I was comfortable staying there and the only thing I wanted to complain about is the tiny toilet. But it’s Hong Kong, so it’s reasonable and acceptable.



Everything went well according to my itinerary and the thing I like most about Hong Kong should be the down to earth street-like kind of feeling. We were staying at Mongkok and the street was really packed with people sprawling to every direction. The only thing that can interrupt or stop the flow should be the traffic light for pedestrian, or the boarding door of the MTR.

We were rushing here and there hoping that we could cover all the places that we wish to visit. But on the first night, we only went to Ladies’ Street and Temple Street since both places were close to our motel.



Wan Ton Mee was our dinner that night and although the noodle tasted normal, the Wan Ton was really good!



We went to Hui Lau San for dessert after that and understood why the place is so famous for its dessert.



After strolling the street a little while more, we went back to rest and called it a day :D
