A trip to Hong Kong - Day 1

Day One - Wednesday - 17th/May/2006

I woke up early in the morning with a big smile on my face. My mom and I went to the airport at around 11A.M. Upon arriving at the MAS check in counter, one of the desk officer in charged told us that MAS flight canceled due to a bad Typhoon in HK, we were so disappointed during that time, and my mind started to worry that I might have to go to work the next day huhuhuhu…

Around 12P.M, STB called us telling that even though there’s a typhoon in Hong Kong, but the flight wasn’t canceled merely because of the particular reason. It was actually because of some technical problem. Shame on MAS!. Therefore, we took DragonAir instead. In flight food was O.K.. not bad…

We arrived at Hong Kong International Airport around 3.30PM and took a coach to the hotel. I was amazed by all of the skyscrapers buildings and also the categorized shopping outlets by the roadside. Exp: one row of tile outlets.. one row of lighting outlets and so much more. Really neat!

We checked-in at Novotel Century Hong Kong Hotel. Small room but comfortable enough to sleep! Instead of a welcoming note on a piece of paper, we were greeted with a Welcoming note on the Television inside the room.

After having dinner at the hotel restaurant, we went to Mong Kok Market at 7P.M. Our journey started from Wan Chai station to Admiralty station.. then interchange to Mong Kok Station. Mong Kok Market (Ladies Market) was great!!!!! Lots of stuff that can be bargained at very cheap price. Even the fake branded goods looks real. I bought and bargained:

a) Beautiful Hair Pin – HK120 from HK190 for 3 pieces

b) Elegant leather Belt – HK80 from HK140

c) Bohemian Sandals – HK100 from HK190

d) Stunning Denim Jacket – HK179 from HK300

e) Bumblebee Sunglass – HK50 from HK80

f) Gorgeous white Handbag – HK200 from HK295

Total : HK729 from HK1195 (RM343 from RM562)

Huh~ What a day..
