Finally got time off from work after finishing the vina M album and the new sheryn album, and i decided to spend some time in Hong Kong to visit Ocean Park and walk around the city.
HK is cool since it only takes an hour and fortyfive mins to get there.
Got to see the usual tourist sites like Victoria Peak and the harbor and i even got to Shenzen... don't know if i got the name right but it's the border town between HK and China. The night markets reminded me of Greenhills... since their main products for sale were copy bags and copy watches... :-)
Getting around wasn't a problem at all since they have a very efficient train system and people there walk a lot. They also have low phone rates so people hardly ever use the texting service... calling on the phone is faster and cheaper than texting. I like the way the city is organized into residential and business centers. I think their zoning scheme really works.
I might go back there when the HK Disney opens... i hear it's opening in Septermber.
I'll probably go in January when the holiday season is over and airfares and hotel rates are a little bit lower.
I enjoyed my short stay in HK ... i find it to be a well planned and organized place, i could probably live there if i knew how to speak the Chinese language hahaha... ordering food from a chinese resto proved to be quite an ordeal... if the menu didn't have pictures i would probably have starved!!! HEHE
