Travel Tuesdays: Hong Kong & Macau


I like traveling. Anyone who knows me, knows that.

My first our of the country travel was in Hong Kong and Macau, just a few years ago actually. It was meant to be a four night trip and out first night was supposed to be the night where we, my family and I, by ourselves but the plane from Cebu was really late and we ended up arriving in HK at around 9pm and we still had to find the shuttle thinggy that was supposed to take us to our hotel.

Their international airport is huge. And I think we almost got lost at some point and we actually asked some help from those Chinese workers at the airport but they couldn't understand a thing we were saying. Like seriously?! Not even simple English? Haaays. We eventually found the bus and thats it. We were knocked out by the time we arrived.

On our second day, we went all around the city, to all these jewelry shops that sold us crappy jewelry, then to Hong Kong Disneyland. Meet-up time was 8pm so we had a lot of time to spare. We went around. I rode the rides. Space Mountain will always and forever be my favorite ride coz of the adrenaline rush. We ate in the restaurants. We took photos of everything. We watched the fireworks then finally went back to the hotel to get some rest for the next day of the tour. But before we went to sleep, I went shopping in the nearest mall that I could find and bought a couple of stuff, bags, wallets, and candy. Then yeah went to sleep.

On the 3rd day, we went to Macau, China just because it was so near and we just wanted more stamps on our passports. It mostly sucked coz all I did was wait outside the casino's all day coz I was still a minor. Yeah. Crappy. Then back to HK we went.

On our last day, we were schedule to go to Hong Kong Ocean Park. There were so many rides I wanted to go on but my coward mom wouldn't let me to that was a waste of an opportunity. We went around. Watch the dolphin show. Ate. I love Chinese food. Probably coz of my ancestry. We were late in going back to the hotel because of the stupid shuttle. So we had to spend more money on taxi rides. Then blah blah we waited for our flight. Then poof! HELLO, PHILIPPINES!

This trip was the start of me longing to travel. I absolutely love traveling to different places, islands, countries.  I hope I get more opportunities to do so and to make more joyous memories that are worth while in the future.

So sorry, I don't have photos to post on here. I accidentally deleted them on my camera and I was left with just a few shots of the fish in Ocean Park. Not good at all. Hopefully that never ever happens again. Haha :)

X, travel whore
