Why
Hong Kong? I asked myself. Doesn’t Hong Kong remotely
sound like Singapore? Sky scapers, rushing traffic, watches
tuned 10 minutes sooner. What's in here? I don't know. It
was a trip meant for my mum. We really needed a break after
my grandfather left. We didn't have time for Hainan or any
other Chinese cities. I suppose Hong Kong should be a good
start. Of course, the Precious Lotus temple is always the
added perk of the trip. Not to mention the wonderful Yuen
Lang's Old Wife biscuit.
I
didn’t have much time to prepare for this trip. Rushed
my work and before I know it, I was boarding the Cathay
Pacific flight (4 hours). It's been awhile since I took
a conventional flight. I was so accustomed to no-frills
airline that I felt uneasy that I can actually request for
a Carlsberg on board.
What
can be expected of the last jewel of the British empire in Asia? Can they
speak Mandarin? Will we lose our way? Hong Kong, Hong Kong,
here I come! |

5am.
26 November 2004. A large glass of plain water is always
vital when some traveling is needed. No one wants to fall
sick during the Hong Kong trip? |
 |
No photos
taken during the day. We were on the look out for vegetarian
food as mum was a vege that day. This was taken in the center
of Nathan Road (Main road in Kowloon). Neon lights filled
the streets. Note that there's also a Yue Hwa in Singapore. |

Jesus
in Temple Street. All you need is love! Love is all you
need! |

Mum on
MTR - Yau Ma Di. Here we attempt to imitate stupid foreigners
taking pictures on trains. |

For Wong
Kar Wai lovers. Remember the scene where Tony Leung spoke
to his soap? "What have you done? Why are you eating
so much?" (Faye Wong replaced the used bar of soap).

Don't
you think watching porn (with a Carlsberg) in hotel rooms
is such a wonderful idea?! |
 |
Oh boy,
I NEED A BEER!!!! Carlsberg, HK$9.5. That is about S$2. |
 |
Half day
city tour. I rather don't mention about this because it
was a waste of time and money. At Repluse bay. We have to
act like tourists sometimes. |
