Day 3(1Jul) MACAU - HKG

I crawled into bed with KT this morning at 3+am cos I had nightmare! Boohooo!

Sleepyhead us went to have BF @茶餐厅 (Cha Chan Ting) =)

I left the loot I got from ZHUHAI at KT’s & packed the rest of the stuff for HKG. Depart to Ferry terminal by bus, reached & just followed the crowd!

Forgot to bring some MOP for ferry tkts so paid HKG$ for it! KT said it’s LuGi and hat for every MOP$500, I should be getting HKG$515, that’s S$3 more! Wuahahh! She also said MOP is useless outside MACAU, moneychangers dun accept it! Anyway, ferry cost MOP155(~S$31)!

I have 30mins to kill till nxt ferry,thank goodness for FREE WIFI! Make use to chk email & send email to KT. YAY! Love my Windows Mobile Phone! WM Phones ROARRRR!!!
It’s a 65mins ride =) I fell asleep with the ipod on! Keke! Luckily no seasickness!

Ferry Ride!

Reached TST's Ferry terminal, niceeer than S'pore's Harbour Front! In my excitement, I forgot to ask for a tourist map @ Ferry terminal. Plus, I got the wrong directions frm e Receptionist! OMG! Lost my way trying to topo to Jordan MTR!

I attempted to walk(HongKonger's style) 1 statn frm TsimShaTsui MTR,but walked further & further away! In e end, I succumbed & took MTR for 1 statn! Must Thank Eeleen for e Octopus Card(HKG's version of our EzLink Card)!

Following Instructions frm Hotel booking email, I topo abit & found it! VIOLA: Evergreen Hotel!
By the time I reached & checked in, it was 3.30pm! Means 1hr of fruitless topo-ing! It's only 10mins away frm Jordan MTR! Faint!

I quickly dropped everyting in hotel, rested abit & Day1HKG Adventure begins!
When asked how do HKGers go to Fa Yuen St/Ladies St,e friendly recept told me that HongKongers would walk cos they knw e way! The information is good enough for me! This is it, I SHALL WALK, like the Hongkongers do! =)
So I walked 3 Statns to Mongkok MTR & start off from FaYuen St(aka Sports wear st)! Realli! All identical shops! Liked Queensway Shopping Ctr except in Chinatown walk style! Shops after shops of sports shoes & accessories! After much walking ard, I finally decided to buy 2pairs of shoes-so tired liao! Bust budget again!

I had to take this road sign! Too Cute to miss!

Then I browsed the Ladies St, Tung Choi St(computer/gadgets). I was feeling really Hungry @ 8+pm! I searched the stalls selling fishballs etc, Search for Smelly Tofu (臭豆腐)! Nt tat smelly leh! Taste nothing special! Maybe this stall nt tat nice! Must try other stalls!

Bot a herbal tea (鸡骨草 - CHICKEN-BONE-GRASS)! The name is a turn off liao lah! Dun even know if it’s made of chicken Bones or a plant! No choice, still having ulcers! So CHICKEN-BONE-GRASS drink…. Bo bian, must drink! Yucks! * I later learnt from KT that it’s a plant. Phew!*

鸡骨草 - CHICKEN-BONE-GRASS!

The streets were full of pple infront of big TV screens, tot it's abt e 1july Street Rally(Rtn of HKG to China),closer look -Playing MJ's concert DVD! OMG! (MJ passed on u see,he is now earning more than when he was alive)! Many of the shops were playing his DVDs concerts!

I walked all the way bk to Hotel, passed by DBS's ATM-withdrew sm $! Busted budget badly! Super shagged by the time I returned & dropped on the hotel bed!! Nevertheless, how can I say I have visited HKG if I never continue to 买东西, 吃东西…买东西, 吃东西…went out for Tang shui (糖水)! Die die mus try! I even bought back 3 bowls for the friendly Hotel staffs

I also went to Temple st(behind Hotel)-nothing to hype abt ,reminds me of KL's Ladies St, BKK's Papong.

I came back & soaked in bathtub of hot water for a long time!! Ahhh.....Relaxed & planned for tmr’s new adventure!!

My room at Evergreen Hotel!!
