Day 3 isn't my best day ever. And I'll tell you why. After our breakfast, we head to the lobby with our luggage. It was kind of cold and windy outside the hotel. We were to hop on the bus to the train station that'll take us back to Hong Kong. At the train station, there were a lot of people especially at the immigration, plus it's a weekend too. And one thing that I dislike about China is that they always push your way through the line by force without asking. Grrr!! This really makes me upset. They really don't have any manners, do they? We line up in a very long line until the police took us out of the crowded line and took us to the line where all the foreigners go through their immigration. To be honest, that lady tour guide didn't want to let us go and insists of letting us line up with all the rest of the Chinese nationals. We were all pissed off by her. This make us delay our Hong Kong tour too because of this situation.
After a long hour of waiting, we finally left Shenzhen and off to Hong Kong we go. Of course, everywhere is crowded, even on the train. Our feet were killing us!!
At the station, we met up with Hong Kong's local tour guide, Derek. On the bus, he talks a lot of jokes. And he interacts with us a lot. At least he's better than Maggie.
Before we start our Hong Kong tour, we went to a restaurant where we had our lunch. Their food is so much better and delicious than Shenzhen's one, even though it is the same Chinese food. After lunch, we went to another jewellery shop but this time they show us the wheel of fortune kind necklace. It has something to do with feng shui. So we didn't buy those. Mom bought a bangle that is able to help her with her backache. I wanted to buy a jewellery for myself too but they are way too expensive. Oh well. Mom didn't buy the bangle for fun.
Next is a medicine shop. Oh boy! The medicine and jewellery shop is so the same as Shenzhen tour but it's different because it isn't a museum but just a store. Whew! Thank God for that. And good thing they only let us look around for a short limit of time.
Next is the Avenue of Stars. It's a place where you can see handprints and models of Hong Kong's famous stars like Jackie Chan, Sam Hui, Michael Hui, Bruce Lee etc. It's also a place for couples to spend time together with each other like a date. The view is awesome but it'll be better in the night time :).
After that is the Chinese temple located at the beach. While everyone went into the temple, we took some pictures at the beach. According to Derek, one of the apartment on top of the beach is where Jackie Chan lives!! Wow! First time I hear a star lives below the beach. Lol!
Before we head to our hotel which is called Nina L' Hotel, we went to Victoria Peak where we get to see the whole beautiful city of Hong Kong :). We even got a family photo taken by Alex, a photographer following us on the bus but not on the whole tour. We didn't go all the way to the top but it's okay. As long as we can see the whole of Hong Kong. Told you it's better in the night time with all the shining lights on each buildings.
Finally we checked in into our hotel. Dinner is on our own now. There's a shopping mall near our hotel and it's called Citywalk. That's where we had our dinner there and our own family time together :). We had Mos Burger for dinner. It's a restaurant where they serve Japanese burgers. Mom suggest this because she saw this in Japan last year and we tried it. It was delicious and big. Even the fries are big and thick too.
After dinner, we decided to walk back to the hotel, since we're too tired to shop. We bought some egg tarts along the way. My friend Carmen suggest I should buy egg tarts in Hong Kong cause their egg tarts are the best. When we got back to our room, I tried the egg tart. It taste so different than our Malaysian egg tart. Time to get some rest. Tomorrow we'll be visiting a theme park. I won't tell you in this post but in the next post. Find out more ;).
Continue in day 4......
