hk trip concluding

now i will do a concluding post for the HK trip.
after the influx of pictures, i think you'll appreciate some words here.

hongkong was fun. not much shopping due to time constraint and a tight budget, quite alot of eating(both good and bad food. i think you've heard us grumble enough about manfung at lamma) but things like mango dessert was fantastic, and the dim sum brunches.
i would have shopped more if i spent more time there. 1 day per theme park, took up 2 out of 5 days.
so i will probably head down to orchard one more time before the end of the GSS. urge to shop not satisfied. i suppose bangkok is better for street shopping, from what i hear.

hongkong is similar to singapore in many ways. the mtr, the airport, the shops and dining areas (other than the little cafes here and there). but HK is more mountainous (even oceanpark is on a mountain), the CBD is more happening in terms of lights and display, transport cost is higher and shops open till later, especially those along the streets.

going trippin' with friends is definitely enjoyable. i would love to spend my uni holidays going on holidays with my friends. people who will be free in dec or next may-jul let's go on a holiday!

if i had the chance to go back there i would, but more for the shopping than anything else, since i've already been to the peak, ocean park and disneyland. wheeeee

i've never taken so many pictures at one shot (430-more if i had space but thanks to 512Mb memory card i had to delete some and resize to 2M instead of 3M)

it took me a very long time to upload these photos, blog about the trip with visuals, and upload them to the albums. whew i'm almost done. photos all at the bottom of this post.

it's back to school soon for plenty of us. i'm dreading it a little since i haven't touched notes and boooks for months. everyone seem to be going for camps. i'm one of those few bums who haven't gone for any. oh yes and i still have to sign up for driving practical. bahhhh

PHOTOS (in 3 albums)
and will soon be located also at the box to the right.
day one and two
day three and four
day five and six

DONE! FINALLY. happy viewing!
it's almost 6am now. (but i woke up at 230 so its ok)
