Hong Kong Trip


So, i am still on holiday . . .

It's been a great one so far and I am proud to say that I haven't exactly been bumming around doing nothing. In fact, I have been so busy because of my trips and also occasional random events popping up that I hardly had the time to catch any movies in the cinema or clean my room till it is sparkling white. 

I haven't been blogging much because . . . well, my excuse is because I have better things that I would prefer to do rather than blogging. (plus I hardly come online nowadays) But since I have some free time in my hands now, I thought I'll just upload some pictures :) 


Here are a few snapshots from my Hong Kong trip.


the gang :)


Did i mention it was burning hot?

Hong Kong at night is really quite the scenery

Beef Noodles *yum yum*


I find this rather interesting

and this is how most of HK looks like, really.

JESUS in Temple Street ! :D


This is my first time going to Hong Kong and honestly, i was initially quite in shock to be surrounded by so many chinese, even though I am one. Yes, It's kinda scary to see so many people of my kind to be pushing, shouting, walking, screaming and eating all together. Quite an experience, I would say and I can't imagine going there if I weren't chinese.

Actually I didn't feel very far from home because HK is very similar to KL in many ways except what i mentioned above. The food there is more on the pricey side  but the portions given are quite big and most stores serve absolutely tasty food. For the food, i'll give 100 stars! :D The second best thing in HK is shopping of course, which was my daily activity since the theme parks were way too crowded because of school holidays. One thing which I didn't like about HK however is how busy and pack everywhere is. If you think our public transport is pack during peak hours, HK is way worse. 

All in all, Hong Kong is quite an interesting place to visit and the food would make ones trip worth it but I have to say that there is no place like home. I still have not found a place that has better (and cheaper!) food than my beloved Malaysia. Agree?
