Was so excited to go hongkong initially but it failed me. Shopping for the first two days were disappointed and tiring. I bought nothing, nothing seems to attract me! I went to ladys' street and temple street. It was the place where they said we can bargain and buy lots of things. But guess what, I bought nothing! It's all repeated goods, the clothes were old and the bags were fake. The people there were so rude that we keep getting scolded from them. If we dont intend to buy, we cannot touch. After bargaining, we have to buy. There's a angmoh that bargains with the shop owner and she won the bargain. But, she was scolded ' go die, fat pig' in Cantonese that the angmoh couldnt understand. I was so shocked when I heard that!
We decided to go to shopping malls but we bought nothing again! Everything was branded and not worth to buy! We became quite disappointed till we walked past a street randomly.... The whole streets are selling clothes and shoes! (Y) This makes my trip fruitful! 4 pairs of shoes, 15-20 clothes, a watch, food, and other small small stuff! We brought 2 big luggage that are not full but we came back with 2 big full luggage, 1 small full luggage and 3 hand carriers! (Y) Dad said that we spent 4-5k sing dollars in 4 days! wow!
On the 3rd day of my trip, we experienced typhoon in the evening and we decided to have our dinner and rush back to the hotel. It was no.4 typhoon and there's only strong wind and rain. However, when we saw people rushing back, we did the same. I was so reluctant to go home because i have not buy enough stuff! The next morning, we watched the news and realised that no.8 typhoon occurs when we were sleeping. No.8 was the highest it can get! Building collapsed, trees fall, ships spoilt, ship crashing to the buildings. But, i was sleeping soundly! But, the bad thing is that, all shops were closed! no cars on road! And how am I going to shop?!! There's still typhoon occurring the city but we decided to try our luck. There's only food stalls which is open and all store owners told us that it is impossible to find any other shops that is opened. I was quite stubborn to listen to them and force my parents to continue walking down the street. And TA-DA! the street that i mentioned just now was opened. Although there was only a few stalls that were opened, i managed to buy alot of stuff and able to get presents for some people! Had the mindset of going back empty handed but luckily, when there's a will, there's a way!
I hate the flight the most when my bro loves it. I hate the pressure when the flight is taking off and landing. Okay, I'm scare! LOL! I was rolled up like a ball, holding my mum's arm tightly whenever i experienced it. In 2 days time, I'm going thai, taking flight and experiencing the same thing again! oh noooo..!
Oh yes! I didnt mention this! I met wilson and melissa at hk!! what a coincidence! We stayed in the same hotel and went to the same 1-day tour! (Y)
There's so much to say about this hk trip. There are fun and disappointment throughout the whole journey! Photos have been uploaded in fb and I shall continue unpacking stuff already! bye!!
