No, I didnt go to HK again. I wouldnt have dared to.

These pictures were taken more than a month ago when I was in HK. We spent a day in HK Island. It is only a few train stations away from Kowloon. From Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui, we took a train to HK Island’s Causeway Bay.

All the streets were so busy, and we kept getting lost. We had maps with us and I am sure we ace at reading maps. C’mon, we are females! So it must be the maps’ fault. Anyway, it was nice walking around Causeway Bay. I bought a Hello Kitty top from one of the shops in a shopping mall. I should take a picture of it some day and post it here. Hee. After a few hours of sightseeing, taking pictures, and queueing up to use the washroom, we took a train to Central, HK Island.

We bought tram tickets to take us to The Peak! Is The Peak really the highest point in HK? I dont know about that for sure, but the view is really nice. Everything looks grey. The only thing that ate me was the long waiting queue for the tram. It was not only about the long queue, the width of the queue space was so big that people at the back could move past you to get to the front. Hey, what version of queueing theory is that? I hate that! It was ages before we finally got to board the tram, and going up The Peak on the tram was not the nicest moment in my life. The tram was going up at an angle of 45, and it stopped a few times. The feeling was argh!

Welcome to the dark, dark side of Kowloon:

I love the first three pictures most, especially the dark clouds. Actually, I love my photography skills mostEST. HAHA!! *slap-myself* I was on Kowloon side when I took these pictures. What you see opposite is Hong Kong Island, which I will write about in my next post. Next, pictures of the famous Tsim Sha Tsui:

In Kowloon, we stayed at Kowloon Hotel, which is in Tsim Sha Tsui. On the first evening, we went to Ladies’ Market at Mong Kok. We took a train from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok. To be honest, Ladies’ Market was a bit boring and quite a letdown. There was nothing much to see or buy there. It was very, very crowded though:

We had our first HK dinner at Ladies’ Market. We didnt really look around for food. We just went into one small eating place that didnt look too occupied and tried to order some food for dinner. We didnt know it can be so tough! Everything on the menu was written in Chinese, and there was no pictures on the menu. We had some difficulty ordering something that was not spicy, and not some impossible-to-imagine part of a duck. I was going to order this item that read “YA”, Chinese for duck, but soon realised that it was actually duck shoulder or something like that. Ducks have shoulders? Anyway, we decided to just settle for dumpling and noodles:

Hmm, it was not that nice. HeHe, on the second evening, we walked from our Kowloon Hotel to Harbour City. It was a long walk but a fruitful one. We bought a lot of stuff on this trip!

The next picture was taken at The Window Cafe, which is a restaurant in our Kowloon Hotel. See how far more real my picture is, as compared to that of the hotel’s.

…Hollywood Hotel, Lantau Island.

I have to admit that Hollywood Hotel is less classy than Disneyland Hotel, which is our first hotel in Disney. From our room in Hollywood Hotel, we could see Disneyland Hotel…

How about some night pictures of Hollywood Hotel…

How about some dinner at Chef Mickey? Are you reminded of the pictures in my Pre-HK Diary?

If there is one thing I get to eat a kilogram of before I die, I will choose raw salmon. I simply love it!

Sigh, I am not feeling well today. My head is spinning and my nose is having a party. My arms and legs are lethargic and I hate it! I hope I get better before the weekend starts! My cousin is getting married this Sunday and I am one of her ’sisters’!!

…Disneyland Hotel, Lantau Island.

This was our cosy room…

Look what we found in our washroom…

How about some night pictures…

Yes! I miz my blog, all my sanriotown friends, and my goofy!!!

These pictures were taken in a restaurant, called Enchanted Garden, at Disneyland Hotel. Our original plan was to stay in Kowloon Hotel for three nights and in Disney’s Hollywood Hotel for one night. Till the second day in Hong Kong, that was still our plan but in the late afternoon of the second day, we did a last-minute change in our plan. We felt that we have done enough shopping both in Kowloon and in Hong Kong Island, and there was nothing much to do if we were to stay for another day, so we decided to cancel our third night stay in Kowloon and move to Lantau Island where Disneyland is, a day earlier. We called up Hollywood Hotel to ask if we could check in a day earlier but they told us that the place was FULL! Can you imagine that the whole hotel was FULL!? So we checked into the other hotel on Lantau Island, which is Disneyland Hotel. It is much more expensive than Hollywood Hotel, but we decided to go for it, and man, the service was really good. The place was so magical-looking and everything, yes, I mean everything, was so cool! The other thing that motivated us to go to Lantau Island a day earlier, is that Disneyland was having some kind of a promotion. Stayers of both Disney’s hotels get a second-day pass to Disneyland free when they purchase a day pass to Disneyland.

So, after our first day at Disneyland, we had dinner at Enchanted Garden, back in our classy hotel. The dinner was buffet-style and there were so many cute-looking desserts! I had planned to try them all before I started eating but once I started, I got too full and too excited.

Too full because I accidentally ate too many slices of raw salmon, raw tuna and crayfish, yummy! Too excited because there were several famous Disney mascot characters walking around and they were all available for phototaking. HAHA!

I think Goofy likes me. He kept coming back to me to sit on my chair’s armrest. He is a very naughty dog! Okay, enough of Goofy. These are pictures of other Disney characters. I love Minnie’s dress! She was wearing big yellow shoes! Cute!

I think I completely overreacted there. I am not really a fan of Disney characters although I dont dislike them. I didnt even know of Pluto’s existence before this dinner. I would have thought that this is just another version of Goofy, or Goofy’s brother? Until my friend told me that the smaller dog is Pluto, and Pluto is Mickey’s dog!! That mouse has a WHAT?!
