Hong Kong Trip

I'm back on the 18th May. How i wish i could stay a little bit longer...

I joined my sister & her colleagues on a trip to Hong Kong this May, first time ever in my life.
We had booked a Free&Easy trip for 7 days. It was a 1st time for us all...

Our purpose of this trip is not really a shopping spree, but a more "Experiencing" one. We had our itinerary planned before hand.
Its really an eye opener especially you are travelling on your own with no tour guides to guild you around town, beside the maps you can get your hands on upon the arrival to Hong Kong.

Believe me, its enough. Its exactly the same as what you see in the HK TV serials. High rise buildings, skyscrapers, dark black dirty alleys, rowdy crowds etc.

HK is basically a very developed country like Singapore, besides the mountains and peaks.
You can get to anywhere with any public transport available. The mini-bus, trams, MTRs, coaches & taxis etc...

One thing i really dislike about HK is "Leaky water"!!!
Unlike here, there's no pedestrian roads alongside of the traffic. You have to walk under the linkways between blocks and apartments... Well, as a M&E Consultant / Building Consultant, it is highly unacceptable for A/C condenser units located on the facade of the building where there are high traffic [human] flow... Its not nice to look at and very difficult to maintain too. Thats because the exterior front facade of the building are packed with big neon sign boards, A/C units, balconies etc...
Drops of water [god knows what they are] will just drip all over me anywhere anytime.. *Arghhh

The other thing i find it very amusing are the advertisment ads... *HAHAHA
I don't know how to discribe it here but the presentation way of the advert is very out of point to the aim of the product!! You can never, NEVER guess what message they are trying to prove!!

The only TV advert i like is the advert on 2nd-hand smoke... Two thumbs up for that!!
I love to eat their Dim Sum in the bustling morning of this fast paced city...
They talk fast, fast service, swift movements in maneuvering themselves in the packed MTR. *Whaooooooo
I can never do that man!!

In general, its a very urban society. If you have the opportunity, do check HK out..

Cheers...
