We first landed in Macau but decided to go straight to HK. The first stop for me and my friends is Jollibee!!!! Jollibee is the Filipino counterpart of McDonald. It is only in the Philippines where McDonalds in NOT the number one food chain. I guess I need to write a separate review on this.Anyway,…

It's been a month since I returned from Hong Kong & every time I want to write up this Travelogue of my Hong Kong trip, I get distracted or just get too busy with other miscellaneous stuff. However, today is my off day & I'm going to spend writing this Hong Kong travelogue just for you folk…

After the trials and tribulations of getting Ruth home, all I wanted to do was sink a beer, get on the plane and sleep. However, there wasn't time for a beer, or even to stop off and get one.. or water, so as I queued with the rest of the passengers, I was fraught, thirsty and tired.... and concern…

Our second day in scenic Hong Kong started at Lantau Island -- Cable Cars, Ngong Ping Village, Giant Buddha, and Disneyland.

A clock with a broken thermometer and a watch that doesn't keep time. Now that's Hong Kong! Now I just have to prey that the allarm will actually go off in the morning and wake me up in time for my flight to Vietnam!

 Hong Kong is really great. To put it simply, it's an Asian New York at discount prices. There's great food and shopping (too much shopping) and when it's not raining, there's always something to do. Once you get past the initial stages of playing "Name That Smell" and "Wa Doku Deska My Umbrel…

I'm posting this about a year ex post facto (after the fact). This was the second city of our 16 day trip that had us staying in the wonderful city of Hong Kong for 9 days! It was really my favorite city on the trip. The energy, the night life, just AWESOME! I've already decided that I MUST return there one day. Hope you enjoy the pics :)

The hustle and bustle of downtown Hong Kong hides a big lie. You would think that with all the people, all the communities and all the outside activities would mean a friendly and inclusive society. But no - the young of Hong Kong in particular are stressed, lonely, pressured, obsessed, scared, and…

Ok, it sounds corny, but it was the only way I could think of to express how unbelievably magnificent Hong Kong is...wow! I loved Hong Kong, it was huge and busy and clean and sunny and full of life! So far, Sydney has been my favorite harbor in the world...but now...I am completely torn! We land…

everytime i go visit my hometown manila, i always make a stop over in hong kong. i don't know why i got addicted to HK. maybe it was the food, the shopping, the eclectic feeling and the multiculturalism of the area. it is literally east meets west in the city. the first time i went to hongkie, i s…

I'd been to Hong Kong before in 1996, but this time I wasn't obligated to follow my parents around everywhere. So I was able to accomplish most things which I set out to do: Ride on a Double decker something (tram/bus)Visit the Big BuddhaTry some local delicacies, Yum Cha, Korean, Vegetarian. .&nbs…

So, Hong Kong.  It's fucking great...dynamic, dirty, packed with people...everything I'd want a big foreign city to be.  It's kind of like how I imagined Korea would be before I got there.  The whole place feels kind of closed-in.  Not claustrophobic exactly, but almost.  S…

After 16 hours of flight, i reached the Hong Kong International Airport safely. As i did not inform anyone but my brother about my early return, i came home quietly and surprised my mum. I was glad to be at home again...However, it does not mean my trip has been over as i will definitely go back to…
