04/01/2015 - 07/01/2015: Hong Kong Trip 2015

The view I see while I was on the way up to the Peak. 
Hong Kong style breakfast!!!

My very first trip to Hong Kong.

Language is a problem but not a major one, though I kept repeating my orders just to make sure they understood me throughout the trip.

As expected, there's nothing much for me to buy for this trip since it's the winter season.

Although a lot of people said that there is no need to go Hong Kong for so many days, I beg to differ. There's actually quite a handful of places to visit, especially so when you can travel to Macau. One day to Macau is definitely not enough as there are a lot of heritages there for you to visit. From Macau, you can also travel to Shen Zhen and Zhu Hai since they are just a causeway away. With one air ticket and you get to visit 4 countries, it's very worth it! Also, there's a lot of good food to try in Hong Kong. Hence, the longer you stay in Hong Kong, the more food you can get to try since there's always a limit to everyone's stomach space....right?

Lastly, I find that actually, Hong Kongers are not as rude as I was expecting them to be. I have heard and read a lot of people saying that these people are rude and they don't really like PRC hence not to speak in Pu Tong Hua there. The truth is, I spoke in Mandarin most of the time and they replied me in a manner that doesn't seem to be considered rude, at least that's how I looked at it. I was expecting the worst and they turned out to be much better than I have expected they would be. Maybe I have yet to encounter one. Maybe....

I had a great time there. I won't be visiting Hong Kong very soon as I have some other countries that I want to visit too. However, I will definitely be back in Hong Kong, for the food and to explore the other parts of Hong Kong.
