Experiences in HK

didnt post anything about my hk trip. so i shall do so now.

It was an interesting trip, i would say. I only have been there for like 5 hours the previous time, when it was just a stopover from s.korea.

People say HK is just like SG with all the tall buildings and the shopping but i would defer. If you have stayed in SG for long, you would have realised how orderly SG is and how messy HK is. some people may find the messiness of the HK buildings interesting but if you are a resident, you would have much frustration, i think. Everything is all over the place! You really need to search your way around to get your stuff. One thing to appreciate about Singapore, you know where to get your stuff and how to get there.

HK is very colourful with all the lights but I guess this is because of the urban planning or the lack of it, which allows them to have all kinds of things hanging on the buildings. Of course, an interesting sight to tourists. I saw a sign that writes 'Underwear' and the sign is so huge that you just cant miss it. That is soooooo weird. Underwear here!! lol.

Food is everywhere but we spend a long time trying to find the food that we want to eat and that is the dim sum! I thot they say dim sum is everywhere but what i see is noodles and rice everywhere! hmmm..... in the end, after we ask the filipino in charge of our hostel (which is surprising to us), we finally went to a cheap dim sum restaurant on our last day. phew.

now the time to complain! I met a horribly rude Indian father in HK!! OMG!! I was at the Peak looking at the scenery and then there is this Indian father who used his hand to gesture to me and said in his exact words "Hey you! come here!" Can you imagine?!?!?! Who on earth would respond to that? but i did. Dumb me. I guess I was just too nice to reject him but I should have given him a piece of my mind. I am a tourist, you know!! He wanted me to take photos for his family. And guess what, he was not happy with my shots and then he kept asking me to take photos like I was his servant or something. Seriously, where's the please and thank yous?!?! argh. cant believe such a rude guy can exist. *rolleyes*

but of course, there are nice people around, esp the locals though their service can be lacking. Asked me and my friend to take photos for them but they asked us in cantonese, maybe thinking we are locals. real weird. got this granny asked me to explain a supermarket poster to her. hmmm... thankfully, I didnt ga-bra or something... think she still think i'm a local. lol. then got this group of sec school kids would say '1,2,3 thank you' to me after i help them leh. so cute! well there are nice people and not nice people around. shall not let my mood be affected by the not-nice people. life is bigger than them.

yap, that sums up my HK trip. interesting but I think I was bored quickly. I prefer more interactions during the trip where I can go with many friends and talk nonsense. talking nonsense during overseas trips is more interesting than just sightseeing. =P
