First night. We landed at Hongkong International Airport 45 minutes after 12 and it was pretty much cold. The pilot from Cebu Pacific said that it was 19 Degrees Celcius outside; my friends and I said: "Sinlamig sa Office" (Same in our office). Well, it was pretty much colder though.
Well, I would like to give some tips to those people who want to visit the bright lights of Asia here it is:
A.) MONEY
- Make sure that you have bills and coins ready.
-> If you are like us arriving at Hongkong past midnight, and you don't have octopus card with you then better have some coins ready or else, the bus driver will not let you in or will give you a free ride. Let's hope and pray that he'll do the latter.
B.) HOTEL/HOSTEL
- Make sure that you thoroughly search the internet for reviews of your chosen hotel or hostel or ask your friends for recommendations and everything that can be useful for you and your trip. You don't want your trip to be something like a bad experience. So better do this.
-> We were at USA HOSTEL. well they are Good and Bad at the same time. Good to those who booked for their pricey rooms and Bad to those who booked for Economy rooms. My brother and a friend stayed at a 3-bedroom suite and it was fine. Of course nothing to be amazed at. It was a hostel. On the other room, my other friends stayed at a 2-bedroom suite and man, it was claustrophobic. The sheets have bugs I guess because we're itching the moment we woke up and the shower doesn't work pretty well. But for me, if I am going to rate their hotel, well it was pretty much low. But the people wasn't bad at all! We have filipinas there who helped us navigating the city and the guy owner helped us buy our Disney Tickets! :) So, there's something to be happy about even though our rooms doesn't really looked good! Peace.
C.) ITINERARY
- Make sure that you did this important assignment. This will be your point of reference, which of course is important to every tour. :) just prepare for it.
->Research for the places you want to go and see and take pictures. Make sure that you can reach it. Make sure that they are not far from each other. Well, if you see that you itinerary looks like the great wall of china, then there will be next time for those tourist spots. :) You can have part 2. Ok?
I think that's all. Of course, as a traveler, you must be equipped with maps, and other infomartion about your tour. You must have enough budget, people to go with and places to see. Well, most importantly BE SAFE!
P.S
I should've added our pictures in here but I guess my internet connection is a little bit slower than what I have expected. Promise to upload it once I find time!
