Hong Kong & Shenzhen (China) trip.

Day 1

So there i was sitting in the congested plane next to some lady. The plane took off and soon was flying. and it was already 3.00 a.m. rotten timing. lil bro couldnt take the pressure..his ears were hurtin, but he made it anyway lol. plane landed at Shenzhen Airport at around 5.45 a.m. from there, a tour guide took 9 of us into a van and took us to the immigration between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. got through it and had a McD for breakfast haha! they had ham and cheese burger, which means its PORK. xD! sorry orng2 melayu =)

then another tour guide came and took us to the hotel. the hotel is located in the middle of the busiest street in Hong Kong..Nathan Road. so yea it has a good location. although the room was small...like very,very small, it was comfy =). i like it here xD!

for lunch, we headed to a restaurant at Nathan Road. after that, we had to buy some lip balm. the cold and dry wind cracks your lips. brr. then it was the night tour at 3.30 p.m. =.= we went to some places which were really not bad. Avenue of Stars was one of them. overlooking across it is Hong Kong Island..and the view is splendid. all the lights from the buildings on the other side was scenic. and it was also a place where the local celebrities place their hand marks..haha! and Bruce Lee's statue is there too..haha.


after that we went for dinner. had goose for dinner =D! not bad haha. and then after that the tour guide took us to Hong Kong Island through the underwater tunnel ( yes..underwater). from there to Victoria Peak...where we will get a super nice view of Hong Kong at night. and indeed it was =D! located at the peak is also a wax museum haha! took some pics with the ' celebs' =). waiting for my uncle to develop them into a cd for me.


Day 2

today we only have 1 destination. DISNEYLAND! xD! had breakfast at a 60's style cafe behind the hotel. then the bus took us to Disneyland at Lantou Island. The place was great...nice atmosphere. the price of the food was manslaughter zz. HK$ 48 for a bowl of mee. that's RM 24. Wtf. forget that, i wanna talk about some other nice stuff =). there was the place where its like a studio place. they show us how animation is done at PIXAR. and this cool machine was damn cool =) jase if yur reading this u might wanna watch it =D



sry if its really blur. its basically a spinning machine with repeating dolls. when they spin at high speed and blink with lights, it looks like the dolls are moving =)

so there was a few rides here and there, and some window shopping. but the main part is the finale fireworks at the Disney Castle. and darn it was good =) i'll upload the fireworks video on a different post =)

Day 3

For today, it was the city tour for us. had HK dim sum for breakfast =) .some visits to some jewelry shop, herbal store..temple..zz. nothing interesting. after lunch, we headed back to Shenzhen. upon arrival at Shenzhen, another tour guide took us to our hotel. it sucked =/. not a hotel u wanna hang around for the whole day. when walking down the streets of Shenzhen for dinner and some shopping, i was disgusted. young girls spitting in public,super dirty floors,rubbish, loud and rude talking..wtf? disgrace chinese people zz. it just sucked.

Day 4

As for tday, our tour guide took us to some jewlery place (again) and some herbal store (again!) zz. but after all that was Window of the World. its a place where you'll find miniatures of statues, structures and famous places around the world. its the best part about Shenzhen lol. Nice place.

After that we went to the Chinese Cultural Village. Nt a bad place, its something like Window of the World, except that its all chinese stuff. 1 part has all the miniatures and another has villages of tribes in China in the past. great place =D! the performances weren't too shabby too =)

Day 5

Today wasn't much. no tours or anything. free day lol. after breakfast at the hotel (which sucked), went down to shopping areas to look around. and guess what? China has thumbdrives as big as 800gb! selling at 450 Yuan, thats RM 225. so my uncle and I went to a shop and bargain-ed for a 120 gb thumdrive (basically we asked them to lower. they refuse, we walk away LOL!). by doing so, we won at a price of 35 yuan from the original 110 yuan. but you cant trust these china products. and proven, it doesnt work well. Well, at least it only cost me RM 17, lol. And then came night where we headed to the airport and flew back here =). and the biggest surpise was....I came home to find a new computer! Dad upgrade out streamyx line and they gave us this new comp. sweet =)

I'll upload the pictures in another post..too lazy now =P.
