underneath the veil

Hong Kong travels (continued)

day 4: ocean park & the peak

reliving my childhood days..the panda was the most adorable creature i've ever seeeen!!!

strangled by jelly fishes

dearie tried the vertical drop but i didnt..toooo scccarrrry forr meee!! lovely views from the top of the tower. we took other tamer rides like..eh hem..ferris wheel, rollar coasters, viking ship.

beautiful buildings

the peak

the city of lights, resplendent, views that take your breath away

day 5

fish street and causeway bay, the shopping paradise, shopping malls everywhere.

lan kwai fong, hk's version of boat quay

the area is pretty small, it's like a village of small pubs and clubs. we went to this club called volar, supposedly one of the top clubs in hk, sth like hk's zouk. inside it's pretty much the same as phuture, except on a much smaller scale. the music was good, r&b whole night long. met up with arthur, who was one of the party's host. the theme was retro night, so it was rather cute, seeing some of the people dress as with afro hairdo, bell bottoms, big earrings. fun fun!

day 6: exploring hk island...

dinner at this resturant that serves the largest portion of rice i've ever seen! even dearie couldnt finish his share of food. then we went to this really TALL shopping mall at mongkok. it was 12 stories high, and it has a very very long escalator.

soho

next we went to to exploring on hk island. hk is weird, old, run down buildings run alongside brand new towering apartments. dear dear is standing a verrry verrrry long escalator, supposedly around 1km long? that brings you from ground level up up uppp the hill..

at the hk exhibition and convention centre

pretty lights once more

day 7: shenzhen

ok didnt really take many photos today cos we went for massage. haha..

showcasing our pig sty......

a room the size of the toilet in my bf's house. tiny tiny! nonetheless it's free accomodation, so how would we complain..haha..oops btw michael, if you're reading this..offence man! it's small compared to sg apartments, but we're really not complaining. we enjoyed our stay. :)

day 8: lamma island

dear was taking photos for me most of the time, hence excluded from most of the photos..hehe..whee..lamma island a sleepy fishing village, something like ubin, except much bigger, more of a tourish attraction..and less mosquitoes.
