Hong Kong Trip

I was in Hong Kong for 5 days last month.  It was a last minute notice from my superior, so I didn't have much time to read and learn about Hong Kong.

From the short trip, here my view of HK..

• A city by the ocean just like Singapore but is huge compare to Singapore.
• Road condition are good unless if you are in Kowloon or Mongkok area.
• Drivers are polite, no nonsense cutting or honking.
• MRT is very convenience.
• Imigresen check is fast even with a supper long queue.
• Airport Terminal one is huge but easy to navigate around.
• If you can speak Mandarin and watch lots of Cantonese drama/movie, like I do; then there should be no problem in daily communication, most of the shops' keeper know Mandarin (maybe they are from the mainland).
• Food are expensive but big portion; goods are at reasonable price.  Normal price for a plate of bbq meat with rice is hkd35.
• Weather in March is unpredictable, during my stay it was between 15-20; but when the cold wind blows it can be as cool as 10.  I love it, but hardly see any blue skies.

ohh Boots! In Hong Kong

I love boots.

While in Hong Kong, I saw almost every ladies were wearing boots.  They looked so elegant.

See..

And how happy I was when I saw there were boots everywhere in the shoe store; maybe because of the cool weather at that time, I dunno..

But I only bought one pair of boots in Hong Kong.

At the moment, I have 2 pairs of boots, 1 I bought it locally last year, 1 from Hong Kong. 

 I'm loving it both, maybe will get more in the future, not much choice here anyway.

Burger King, Merdeka Plaza

We finally have our 1st Burger King in Sarawak; right here in Merdeka Plaza, Kuching.

We waited for about 40 minutes for this meal, and there were not even up to 10 people queueing in-front if us at that time.

I don't think I can call this fast food outlet anymore, it was just too slow.
