Summary of HK Trip


This song is really nice, heard it from another blog.

Venetian Hotel is awesome!
The only hotel that I know that provides bolsters.
OMG! A bolster surpasses fruit baskets and VIP treatment.
Venetian is so over-developed that you see lots and lots of 5* hotels that lights up with neon lights at night.
Even Hyatt, sucha graceful hotel, uses neon lights to attract business.
Cotai Strip is over crowded with hotel, don't see much local housings there.
Macau Island is also crowded with hotel, but the housings there looks so poor.
St Paul ruins were a disappointment.
From pictures it looks so great and mighty, like a statue standing in a big piece of land.
But in actual fact, it is quite small squeezed between shophouses and lots of trees.

HK pple are always in a rush, and their MTR is full at any point of time.
It's rare you get seats.
They love climbing stairs or so it seems because alot of places requires climbing.
Their tram is cool, you get to squeeze with HK pple.
Symphony of light can be missed, I don't know what it's trying to do.
I can only say if you are in HK, you'll feel pressurized to worship brands.
You can eat authentic HK food from the Wan Chai in Singapore.
The Peak, it's all about the tram experience, the view up isn't very nice too, maybe because I went in the day.
Citygates, Esprit outlets, Women Street, Argyle Centre all doesn't seem cheap to me.
They may have lots of discount, but the price after that is still high.

I know I keep grumbling about HK, I guess if I had found Juice, this trip wouldn't have been so bad yet.
