1st highlights of HK & Macau

after a whole week in HK and Macau ... am feeling tired now.

everyday we travel, walked... climbed the slopes, shop and most of all EAT! thats like almost hourly thing (just kidding but feels like it) loads of food, with sis and dap's recommendations we tried to cover as much. almost did it but we did skip some as they were out of the way or we are exhausted. but we are lucky in fact very cos either we dun have full info or wrong spot on the map but eventually we get there... really ALWAYS happens. Gerald is superb with the map. my navigator. i travel more with inituitions. when we couldn't find the wantan min (cos cantonese sounding) i insisted turning back the other way and YES my sis located her pen dot on the map a little too far from the original spot. he's considered patient and yes i will insist so he has to take my nonsense but thank goodness i got it right! Happy in the end always get what we were looking for.

Hong Kong is not as much as i imagine it to be. ITS SMELLY And didn't expect it to that dirty, the air - i mean! its polluted! my contact lense is so dry and ERRRR filled with dirt. and i met digusting men on the tram and YES the tot make me puke. happy tots.... must forget the unpleasentness. we arrive on SAT and we had a shock at the crowd at causeway bay.

Macau was nice. the countryside part was easy nothing much to see but eat and food is good.
Lord Stow was good. eggs tarts was jus really nice. the other 2 desserts were yums too. was at all the spots the korean tv serial forgot the name the princess show. even met the guy who gave the princess the tarts. met him when we went to buy eggtarts bac for XM cousin. Coloane was simple but Lord Stow is a good reason to be there. had portugese food at Fernandos good recommedation from sis and of cos we had crab porridge and pork bun. didnt bring address totally dun know y i left it in singapore but we manage to get around. we did the macau walk yes i am scared of heights but i managed to crawl thru it.... fun but freak out when i did the one leg balance foto shot!

Hong Kong ... Felix @ the Peninsula was spectacular. smaller than i have imagine. but still different. very unique. Philip Stark is weird but talented. food is good the chocolate is to die for. Serena this is the place u should jus go if u stopby in HK! but fotos wot turn out nice cos is dark in this restuarant.

will update in detail later cos took lots of fotos esp food... we hardly shop ... but we both bot a watch each and perfumes. i got more sweaters, a few tops but simple ones but he got like jus a few tees... best buy would be MY POTATO HEAD from disney. so excited they had it cos i was hoping to get one.

actually got a even more interesting story... something i dun think anyone has experience during their holiday... POLICE SCENE in HK ... moreover happening at our HOTEL. when we checked out of XM cousin house (right at the bottom of HK island) after 3 nite stay and after 1 and half day @ macau... we headed to Tsim Sha Tsui to stay for next 3 nites. when we headed back to hotel to check in and intended to shower to prepare for felix ... we were blocked out of our hotel as police rush in with GUNS, full length shotguns attached with huge calibre rounds, bullet-proof vests and many police vans and oso REPORTERS who dun wan their life wan. interesting leh ... i gota go get fotos done... haven send for developing this time round quite lazy ... SO TIRED and i had 1st day cramps... sad.
