Hong Kong & Macau


That's my second vacation trip on last weekend after Ipoh-Cameron Highlands trip lately. Feeling great and joy traveled to places i never been there before, and also excited to experience how busy of crowded population in HK as they walked along the streets, crossing traffic lights, boarding for MTR/buses/ferries. Eating there is quite expensive and mostly starting from HKD28 (about RM12) onwards but food portion is big enough to feed hungry stomach.

The bad thing is the weather, damn cloudy and foggy (about 19c-23c) all day and night long since the first day i arrived and hardly see the sunshine. There's no luck for taking HK island view pictures from The Peak because of the misty weather blocking the Kowloon peninsular view and things were also happened at Avenue of Stars (Tsim Sha Tsui East) where the fog covered all over the skyline. Walking along most areas and spent most of the time in Kowloon such like, Mongkok, Yau Mah Dei, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tsim Dong, etc... and just The Peak, Ocean Park in HK island. It might be rushing or for time consuming purpose that some places we planned to go but got to ignore it.

Spending one night in Macau before flying home. Cloudy and foggy weather is similar to HK but it was even worse when reached there Nice to see lots of casino and those colorful signboards along the Macau city. I've been walking almost whole night until 4am taking pictures at the well-known landmark - Venetian Hotel and visited its open-concept casino... (pretty big and flat). Most of tourist attractions in Macau are historical like churches and temple and only went for the famous 'Tai Sam Pah', Senado Square and Macau Tower.

It was a good experience and enjoyable to walk through almost half of the Macau island all the way back to hotel from Macao Tower. Frankly, the free and easy trip was nice but duration is bit short and weather was really sucks and spoiling my mood of photos taking at most of the places. Well, i may be going back again in few years time if things are right.

*More photos are coming up on my FB photos album soon...
