Day 1 in Hong Kong

Flew off from Changi airport at 11 am in the morning with Cathay Pacific airlines. A rather pleasant flight with Pirates of the Carribean: World's End to entertain me. =) And soon, we landed in Hong Kong, and it was a shock for me as i fell asleep just before touch down and was rudely awoken by the jolt of the aircraft wheels touching down on the runway.

We took slightly more than half an hour to pass the immigration as the queue was VERY long, and i took a photo with my mom with the count down clock to 2008 Olympics. We took the airport transfer (which was included in the package, else rather ex.) to the hotel and along the way, get to visit HK Disneyland's .... hotels. haha.



Was at Niu Ren street and Mong Kok area for the rest of the night as it was already 6pm when we left the hotel to explore Kowloon. The dinner was ... very good actually, with pork chop bun and maggie mee. Yes. More photos when i get back. Too tired to add the night scenes and more about the food. Actually wanted to take photo of the food BEFORE we eat, but forgotten all about photo taking when it arrived. =P

Well.... all in all, Hong Kong was amazingly big! Yes... i know it is a lot bigger than Singapore, just that in HK drama serials, there are so much city scape that... hmmmm... never expect that much green hills and undeveloped hiterland around. Good good. a few photos to show the difference, maybe update when i get back. heh. And oh... visited a mahjong club along the street... didnt get in though, cos the cigarette smoke was so thick, one could probably get cancer faster than he can lose some money. =P

Weather is ok. Warm in the afternoon, a bit of smog as the sky was hazy, though dont have the burning smell, but think is smog... like what i breathed in in bangkok years back.

Other than that, wheng, my mom and i enjoyed it so far, tomorrow is off to the visit the Buddha.. er... somewhere near the airport. =D So will update again tomorrow!
