The Hongkong-Macau Escapades
Sunday, June 17, 2007

It was such an adventure and exciting trip for me and my cousins. Everybody enjoyed. Richard, my cousin and I arrived in Hongkong at exactly 12:15 A.M. of June 7. We both had a lot of missadventures but tell you later on my Blogadags :) will tell you how "kalog and kengkay" we are while in HK. By the way James and Che was one day ahead of us, well, nag una-una jud sila para maka honeymoon pa sila hehehe... First day, at 11 am, we went to Macau, it is an hour trip by ferry boat from Hongkong. Passport is the only requirement to be able to enter in this country. This country is under the Portuguese government, so there are Catholic Churches and many Catholic people.Well as usuall, wherever we go there are always Filipinos. We went this museum in Macau, we met so many Filipinos. We had our lunch there...beef noodles and made us forget our names! wow, one of a kind noodles...what funny there was chinese talk so loud and seems they are angry. The owners of the restaurant was sooooo noisy, they keep on shouting each other and seems they are fighting but they were accomodating the customers well, only when the owners talk to each other, they shout! well maybe that was their marketing strategy...so many people eat there, the cook was perspiring and im sure that added zest to our food hahahaha...hay ang sarap ng noodles nila!!! now im craving :) hmmmm sosyal! breakfast in HK and lunch in Macau... I liked macau sooo much...I wanna live there if I am given a chance! Not too crowded and buildings and roads are just spectacular...and one more thing..I had all my shoppings there and presents for my family coz it is much cheaper than in HK. It is certainly a livable city! Ricky also wants to stay there...:) we went back to HK at 11 pm, we suppose to get a helicopter ride going back to HK but we have to wait for an hour to fly so we chose to get the Turbo Jet ;)

The next day we went to Disneyland!!! Finally the waiting is over...we met Mickey Mouse and his friends... we had a great time there with all the crazy rides! especially the Space Mountain... it made our brains moved to the other side of our head hahahaha but we took a second round, we like extreme rides! our mouths stretched to our ears while riding it! but what's the sad on my part... I missed Antonio sooooo much, how i wished Anton was also there, it is really for kids and family...he will really enjoy Disneyland, well next time. We saw Aiko Melendez their with her hubby and kids! hmmmm handsome hubby :)

After Disney we went to Ocean park... very nice also but experienced heavy rain, we were all wet but did not mind at all, we enjoyed, my cuz Che won so many stuff toys , big and small. i did not get my luck though...again we took the crazy rides their, roller coaster, Abyss, cable cars,river ranger(we all got wet) and sooo much more!! saw the jelly fish and sharks too!

We spent a lot of walking all day and night in HK, us and our battered feet! pity feet and legs, as u can see on my pics... we have a lot of pics with my feet and my cuz's feet also hehehehe...we call it feetish :) we visited the avenue of stars or walk of fame like in manila and hollywood.... where i saw the names of jet Lee, chaw Yun Fat (did i spell it correctly? hmmm) , Jacky Chan and so many chinese actors and actresses. We also witnessed the dancing light in The Avenue of Stars, it started at 8 pm...sooooo many people there, with different nationalities. We visited Mong KOk, a street for women as they say coz we can find all the cheap accessories, RTW, shoes , watches etc.. oh sarap mag shopping, pera lang ang wala...

Our last day in HK was in Peak Tram... the highest peak of HK, actually it is located in a hill, it is reachble by bus or train. We suppose to get the train going up but we took the wrong bus... we did not know that the bus we took will go directly to peak Tram... it was rainy day, gloomy and foggy! very cold... when we arrived there, we went to the wax museum, again we saw jet lee there and jacky chan but did not have the opportunity to have a pic with Papa Jacky Chan coz i have to pay 70 HKD! well thank u nalang hehehehehe So then we met the friends of Che who lives in HK. We ate in the most expensive restaurant there. I almost vomited when I saw the prices... 4,000 HKD, 2500 HKD wow!!! as what Che said, "Maka Takig ang presyo" it took time for us to order because we want to order the cheapest food.. a lot of discusions who will pay the bill... well Ricky has a credit card LOL... we even reached to the point to go out while we have not oredered yet hehehehe oh well we just forgot the costs... but the experience itself...i told my cousins I will never check my bank account when i'm back in Phils, i might faint...the place is very cozy and expensive. like ayala alabang and green hills in manila. The highlight there is the over looking city of Hongkong, but unfortunately we did not see the city coz was really foggy!!!we cannot see the buildings anymore, and was very cold! Just baught Chocolates for my dearest Anton.

The weather in Hongkong is very unpredictable, it rains and suddenly sun comes out then becomes gloomy as if it will rain. I missed the sun there...The city itself is really an advanced city, with all the hi tech machines. All their buses have computerized devices to collect bus fare. We have this card there, called Octopus, it looks exactly an ATM card, it is reloadable. We used it for taking the bus, MTR and shopping. We can even use the card for dining. Very convenient... Subways are very clean and safe. All have Escalators and walkalators...hehehhe we dont know if that's the name for that but looks like escalator but never escalates... if u are too lazy to walk then u can take it , so we made a name for it "walkalators". everything there is all swipes...i love to ride MTR and double deck busses! people in HK are very disciplined, no wonder they have a very progressive country. One thing we observed there is that chinese never go to personal level when treating their clients... they are not friendly people. They really mean business there..they even don't have time to smile...well knowing chinese :) and i think that's one factor that made them an advanced country. But most of all..very disciplined people and I really acknowlege that. They move fast... Life there is really very fast, always after the time. If they have to run they really run. No wonder, they all got muscled legs heheehhe well you will see that in my pics. There are few fat men and women their coz they walk and run a lot, you can see sexy women but got muscled legs :)
That was our trip. It cannot be payed by millions, it was pricelles experience for all of us. Why priceless? Well YOu have to read my Blogadags..still on the process, will post it the soonest! Thanks!!!


IT WAS THE PERFECT GETAWAY!!!
