My first time to travel out of the country…
Last January 5, 2007, Me & Tabs went to Hong Kong… We had the cheapest flight ever, thanks to Cebu Pacific Air promo… Their services were great.. we just had an additional payment of 1620pesos for the Phil. travel tax and 550pesos for the Terminal fee… We arrived there around 11pm in the evening and we started our adventure of sleeping in the airport… it’s fun and we’re having a great time… www.hongkongairport.com
We had a cup of Pacific coffee and a free wifi internet inside the airport! Rocknolds sleeping in one of the benches@ the departure area
Now we’re awake! Its already 7am, Good Morning Hong Kong! Now its time to have some breakfast!
Journey in HK starts here….
We went directly to Mong Kok where our hostel is waiting for us… When we arrived at the Sincere bldg, we went directly to Dragon Hostel…
www.dragonhostel.com
The room is small but clean w/ our own shower room… They have one filipina helper who welcomes us.. She taught at first that we’re a Thai but i told her we’re pinay.. a big smile shown in her face… nice to see a pinay in there… There’s a lot of Filipina workers there… It pity us especially when we went to Central during Sunday..
We don’t know that Sunday is a Pinoy day in HK… Many Pinays were gathering there..salo salo eating, playing cards, chikka2x and all… some were busy talking on the phone w/ their relos… I really pity them, they’ve been working so hard for their family here in Phils. but some of their families doesn’t care and some of their children are not doing good in school… w/o even knowing that their parents were working soo hard for them to have a good life here… Filipinos usually hangout in Central near HSBC Bldg.
HK is a beautiful place.. I love the skyline in Avenue of Stars, The peak where you can see all the bldgs around you, very clean… everyone is working very hard… even @ night, someone is wiping the frames in the subway…. It’s very different here… I also appreciate their rubbish bins were everywhere.. in every corner of the road.. and also it was my first time to ride a train! hehehe…. really amazing..
Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui… I love the lights and the cold weather. weee!!!
Ocean Park.. Fantastic Sharks, Jelly, Panda, and the Cable Car!!!
