Ladies & gentlemen, soon we will arrive at HK International Airport. Kindly return to your allocated seats, have your seat upright, seat belt fastened and your tray table stowed away.
As usual, there were lots of passengers and the immigration looked packed! This time, I am not worried. I walked up to the officer, he scanned my card and I went straight to the immigration for clearance! I was holding the HKG Frequent Visitor Card! There was a counter for the Card holder! So much easier and less hassle!
Stephen was already waiting for me at the arrival hall. Went to top up the octopus card and then proceeded to town. The train to town and the shuttle bus to hotel.
After checking in, went over to my favourite shop for a bite - 龙记招牌云吞面。Usually I would go to the shop at TsimshaTsui but had it near Jordan MTR instead. The 干捞 noodle was great and the 云吞were huge! Then, bought some toiletries before back to the hotel to rest. The weather in HKG was very hot, hotter than Singapore!
In the evening, went over to Mong kok to buy movie ticket for late movie at 11:10pm. The areas was very crowded with people! We went over to The Olympian City to meet up with the others for dinner. The public toilet was interesting. The flushing was by sensor. Place your hand slight above the button and it will flush on its own! Interesting!
Dinner was at The Spaghetti House.The food was just average but they seemed to enjoy eating at this restaurant. We had black pepper wings (tasted below average), pizza, different types of spaghetti and salad! I found out that one did not like chicken, another one cannot take cheese and one did not like salad dressings and the last one, vegetarian.
As it was WORLD CUP season, the mall was packed with people waiting to watch the soccer. Some of malls open for customers to watch. I found out some cinemas also converted to screen soccer matches! Its very big event here, in HKG!
The cinema was in a small screen on the 10th floor! Getting up and down was a hassle. But,we had no choice... The movie - IpMan The Legend was not too bad!
Stopped at the American Embassy (Mac's) before heading back to hotel for the night.
Had to get used of not having plastic bag provided at shops and 7-11. Over in HKG, you either bring your own bag or pay for it. Most people who carry......... something that is so diffierent back home.
