my thought abt the trip...

overall it was a very satisfying holiday for me...

i overshopped my budget and tried quite a number of local fares,roast pigeon,two film special egg milk custard,wanton,charsiew,goose,desserts and etc

my only complaint was lack of sleep.. i was unable to sleep early and slept average 3-4 hrs a night.. i got sick towards the end of the trip and fully sick when i reached singapore,luckily didnt affect the holiday..

i like the 1st hotel,jj hotel at wanchai road a lot because we got the big big room supposedly for handicapped and the location is so nice... took tram daily and when u walked out from hotel,its straight away food and shopping unlike singapore.. singapore orchard road is pretty boring and the places like angmokio central and toapayoh central cant rival hk places.. and not only tat.the places around jj hotel open till pretty late...

in future when i go hk holiday again,i'd stay in jj hotel again,worth the money and location is good.. near causewaybay mtr/shopping area(sogo,times square,world trade centre and etc) and near admiralty mtr which goes many places(kowloon area,tsimtsahui,central,oceanpark)

next time,i'd like to try disneyland for sure but the admission is pretty steep,hk350(70 sing).. planned to go actually on tues but changed to ocean park but i didnt feel sad because i made good use of tat supposedly hk350 to shop... bought timberland shoes for 390hk

macau was fun too even though i lost 150hk in blackjack... doubt i will go back macau ever again.. sin city,temptation is strong.... can lose lots money there.. lol

so tats it for my holiday in hk.. thx for reading this blog,i know its a bit long winded and the pics is not up to standard.... but thx anyway :D

olympic terrace suite apartment interior pics..

these are the pics of our 2nd accomodation,olympic terrace suite.. we got promo for 2337hk for 3 nights... supposedly 3 bedroom apartment with 2 single and 1 double bed with 1 toilet but we got upgraded to executive apartment.. 2 bedroom,2 single and 1 double still with 2 toilet,kitchen and living room...

6 of us squeeze into this,taking turn sleeping on sofa and floor so we paid 389.50hk each,roughly abt 25 sing per night
