It's coming to end of May, and I'm still blogging about my HK trip! Wahahha... but then, the pictures took so long to upload, and I havent upload the food photos yet... and I have also went to a couple of dining places which I havent blogged yet... -___-|||

Ha, nvm... anyway, the photos are rather random... hope you enjoy!

Hollywood Hotel

Our bedroom

The double bedroom was quite big, easily can accommodate 4 adults lor!

Guess what's this? Keke

The shower curtain!



Star Ferry Cruise

The cheapest transport is probably the ferry. It cost only HK2.50 to cross from Hongkong Island to Kowloon, which is equivalent to S$0.50!

You can just buy the "ticket" from the vending machine at the ferry pier. The "ticket" looks like a gambling chip huh? Alternatively, you can also use the octopus card (i.e the stored value train ticket) .

Familiar? Look carefully at the picture before this, you can find this as well... Personally, I tot this looks like Big Ben in London... hahha. Heh, HK was under British colony before mah...

Jumbo



Not very sure where is this place actually... haha... But that's where you will go if you wanna dine at the famous Jumbo Restaurant. I was brought here during my half day city tour, we were supposed to go for a boat ride using..... Not those pretty yacht behind la, ya lah.. using the 'traditional' ferry.. I dint went, first of all, there was additional cost ( ard HK50 = S$10), secondly, dint find it interesting to take a ride in that ferry to go see other similar ferries...


The half day city tour also included a temple visit at Repulse Bay. I dun really fancy temple visiting but anyway * shrugged*...

I wanted to upload these 2 lion photos because they were really a couple! It was a male & female stone lion guarding at the sides of the entrance. Do you know how to differentiate them?

Make a guess before you read on!

The one at the top is the male one. The ball under its right foot symbolize power. Whereas the one at the bottom will be the female lion, with a small lion under its left foot, which means children.

Now you learn sth!

HK Convention Centre

My guide said this was where the handover of HK to China was held...


Victoria Peak & Tram


The fastest way to reach the Peak has to be the tram, which is just 7mins. You can take the alternative way of a bus ride from Central... but hor, coz the road will be winding, so do prepare a paper bag along... For what? VOMIT LAH!


Madam Tussaud



Madam Tussaud is located at the Peak as well. Since I went to the one at London, I decided to give this a miss. Those figurines were taken as they were "parked' outside... keke

I especially like the photo below.... Probably because after taking this picture, I was asked kindly not to snap liao... hoho


Peak Terrace

It's basically a shopping area where you can shop and eat. Dun miss having a good dinner here. I tot the ambiance was good, eating while over viewing nice sceneries and if you are lucky, how about a sunset view?
