HOW OUR HK TRIP ENDED

Hello! Hello! I am back... I've been missing a lot, I even forgot that I have a blog. Chos!

But yeah, ngayon lang nakahanap ng pagkakataon makapag blog ulit. But I won't be blogging about updates on our bedroom makeover project because sadly I need to prioritize something else pansamantala. We have not yet completed the project and the materials are not yet complete pero babalikan ko yun sa mga susunod na buwan. Ang dami kasing ganap sa buhay (wow ako na busy hahaha) and I am still recovering from sickness so hinay hinay lang muna ako.

So what am I going to share with you today?...

RUNDOWN OF OUR HONGKONG - MACAU TRIP

Hong Kong and Macau are the first two countries that I have ever been to abroad. It was a compelling trip that allows us to experience new culture and enable us to quickly adapt ourselves to unfamiliar environment in a short period of time. The tour was definitely sweet and short.

And like what I have mentioned last time, I will be sharing some other pertinent details about our first ever trip abroad. So here it is! a comprehensive compilation of what we have prepared, where our money goes, including the expenses we've made during the whole trip. 

HK DISNEYLAND (DAY 2: HONG KONG TOUR)

Ni Hao! Kamusta kayo?! :)

This is the continuation and the final leg of our quick yet jam packed Hong Kong trip. It's almost three weeks since our HK trip ended but I still feel excited writing details about it (hehehe). No need for a long intro, co'z the title and my photo already says what is it all about. ☺

A POINT OF INTEREST - CHARLIE BROWN & FOOK LE (DAY 2: HONG KONG TRIP)

Call me mababaw but visiting Charlie Brown Cafe is THE most important thing I NEED to accomplish in HK. In fact, my HK Trip wouldn't be complete without it (sorry, but only a true fan can understand, he hehe). 

SIGHTSEEING IN HONGKONG (DAY 2- Hong Kong City Tours)

Though we were booked for three days and two nights in Hong Kong, we had to squeeze our schedule and pinpoint what we wanted to do in Hong Kong and in Macau. On day three, we are scheduled to fly back to Manila at noon. So technically, we only had two days to roam around HK. So we decided to take a DIY (own trip) with a combination of city tour from a travel agency. Though we got lost, experience some delays that wasted some time on the first day, still we accomplished what was listed on our itinerary. 

The second day of our Hong Kong trip is equally jam-packed. City tour in the morning, visiting places of interest we chose individually and going to Disneyland in the afternoon. The second day was our HK Tour proper. Good thing I chose to take the city tour because it felt nice to learn the historical facts of HK and having fun while doing so. With this, we were able to adapt ourselves to their environment and culture. I have observed a lot of differences between our culture. I tell you more about it in a separate post.

GETTING AROUND MACAU FAMOUS LANDMARKS (DAY 1:EXPLORING MACAU IN HOURS)

On Board Turbo Jet from Ocean Terminal to Outer Harbour Terminal in Macau. Seat 21 E & F. 

We've  finally arrived at Ocean terminal Turbo Jet counter before 3pm. But the next available trip was at 3:30pm so we bought a roundtrip ticket going to Macau first then went to Mcdonalds to eat lunch. After which, we headed to the security and immigration at the Harbour. Our supposed trip we're at 3:30 but we were allowed to go aboard a little past than 4 pm. They say they needed to check their jets, which I have no qualms at all, safety is our priority too.  But we still able to arrived at The Macau Outer Harbour earlier than expected. Travel time from HK to Macau Outer Harbour is approximately 50 mins. 

GOT LOST AND FOUND LOVE (DAY 1: ARRIVAL AT HONG KONG)

Got lost and found love...and that's how I'd like to describe our experience in HK on the first day. It's not ideal but it was the reality and it turns out to be the most memorable moment for first timers like us. Hahaha... 

FIRST TIME ABROAD? (WHAT TO PREPARE)

NI HAO! :)

A greeting in Mandarin which means Hello or "you good". Sounds like INIHAW (Grilled) in Pilipino, as Mary, our tour guide  puts it. And you answer Hao hao which means - good, and then say Xiexie (Thank you) after and don't forget to smile. These words were the most resounding sounds in my ears from our latest travel which happen to be a week ago already. Grabe ang bilis lumipas ng panahon... 

I will try to remember everything that had happened during our recently concluded first out of the country trip, today. I'll be sharing some details of our trip and maybe you'll find some worthy pieces from it. (Wink) Here we go!
