A quick summary to my recent Hong Kong and Macau trip – fun, fun and fun.
Many people I have met told me there isn’t much to see in Hong Kong.
They asked why do I need to go so long. 2 or 3 days is more than enough to visit the place.
I beg to differ unless they just skim through all the places or maybe city travel isn’t for them.
For me, I find a week too short. I don’t think I have even seen more than 20% of what I saw on TVB series.
While Hong Kong may seems like a small island, it doesn’t seems so for me.
I guess the fun moments when we were there were to identify locations where TVB series and HK movies were shot .
At the end of day 2, I guess Hong Kong is close to my heart as everywhere I turned to reminded me of TV series.
Sadly, I didn’t get to bump into Andy Lau or any celebrities.
Andy was so busy with his performance for the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong being returned to China.
But at least I am happy that we are in Hong Kong at this time and are accidentally am apart of the celebration.
It was a cool fireworks show and celebration, minus the amount of people .
Lan Kwai Fong is not empty as I expected it be. Not exactly empty, more like less crowded with people.
But to my surprise, when I was there the place is damn happening.
It was a street frilled with bars and clubs that are packed with people.
Glad that we manage to get a place, hang out a little and some photo taking for sure.
And for the first time, some people tried so hard to make it into my photos.
I was also addicted to the Gachapon machines that dispense toys stored in an egg shape capsule.
Every night I manage to fill up my bag and I end up with loads of mini figurines to decorate my glass shelf.
We also visited Hong Kong’s pride, the Ocean Park and Disneyland!
Both the big parks got me burning all my calories and fats.
OK, my bucket list ticked. And if only I get to meet Andy in Disneyland!
And last but not least, going to Lantau Island and enjoy the big buddha view is just amazing and breath taking.
As for Macau, I totally love it .
Macau seriously resembles Malacca since both of the place were conquered by Portuguese.
I love the vibes and I think I could stay there like forever.
I personally think the time spent in Macau is too short for me to see everything in Macau.
I will probably return to explore more and try more of their local food.
And Portuguese food rocks !
I have totally fallen in love with their famous Portuguese egg tart and Serradura.
One should really tried any of these when they visited Macau.
And yes, I am proud to announce that I have been to the spot where Goong (Princess Hours) Macau scenes were shot.
I went to the church where they both got married, sat at the bench where Shin were waiting for Chae Gyeung to arrive with the egg tarts.
As a Goong fan, we did our research before we even set foot in Macau! Don’t play play!
