our breakfast - dim sum 8-course(?) breakfast- at a restaurant in hk.. the dim sum in hk are delicious~ (paiseh.. forgot how many course le)
1st stop - victoria peak - we were brought to the half of the mountain.. there were many interesting buildings and landmarks along the way up.. one building that left me great impression is the AIA building which is located by a cemetry.. cool~ cos the boss is a foreginer, thus it means nothing to them.. but the workers there are mostly hong-kongers, in order to work there with a peace of mind, they hired a feng shui master and was taught by him to have a English-coffin-shaped-like as their outer structure windows.. can't manage to take a snap of it, cos the coach is moving at a speed..
2nd stop - repulse bay -there is a temple which is meant for visitors/tourists.. no burning of incense is seen there.. got many statues including a huge guanyin godness, fortune of god.. look at the photo of the beach.. notice the small cylindrical containers? all of them are rubbish bins.. a whole row of them.. that's the reason behind a super clean beach.. hoho..
3rd stop - aberdeen fishing village - we were to either take a ride on the boat out to see the living of the fisherman or to stay on land.. we chose the latter.. cos personally i felt there was nothing much to see.. cos mainly will be all boats n yatchs etc.. also, we need to pay for the ride.. haha..
taking a pulse?? hmmm...
4th stop - visit jewellery factory and a shop selling chinese medicine and herbs - the photo of the living estate was taken in the coach while waiting for the rest to go for lunch..
our dinner at a Shen Zhen restaurant.. i dun quite like the SZ tour guide.. she's not good at handling matters and conveying her messages.. anyway, the food there are a little salty to me.. and every meal there is a big bowl of rice.. and because i dun quite like to eat rice, and those x-course meal.. thus, i failed the rating of the meals.. haha.. after dinner, went to shop ard sz..
NB: i find HK buildings to be very tall and old.. and they looked very crampy.. too small a unit as compared to our s'pore flat.. and at sz, there are still high rise buildings but, the environment is not as good as hk.. streets are quite dirty and there's alot of stairs to climb too.. den the traffic condition is so bad that u must be daring to drive a car and extremely careful when crossing road.. cos the traffic lights seems useless there.. haha.. but cab-wise, is cheaper as compared to here..
