Hong Kong Album

 

I only get to spend 4 days in Hong Kong, having prolonged my stay on the mountains of Switzerland and an additional weekend in Paris. However, I did get to venture out taking the funiculare train to the Peak and surprise, surprise.. bumped into Leong and family of all people who was holidaying in Hong Kong from Australia, at the Peak's money exchange kiosk. Robinson Avenue where Kak Ha is staying costs an unbelievable bomb (HK$43,000 per month.. yes thats right per MONTH! and it is only a 3-bedroom) but the view from the 38th Floor is tres spectaculare :)

There's not much to do in Hong Kong which gives me same ambiance as Singapore except Hong Kong a bit more interesting than antiseptic Singapore. Shopping at Mong Kok which is very similar to Petaling Street (perhaps Petaling Street is better :) or its posh boutiques (there is no where else on earth where one can see an Armani boutiques from houte couture to fresh flowers and chocholates.. yes..there is a branded Armani fresh flowers and chocolates!) will still not be as fun shopping in KL. KL is still I find the best place to shop and buy things pour moi :)

Don't think I wud care to live in Hong Kong even with its systematic image. After visiting China (even for a day), I find it to be more interesting and has more characteristics compared to bloody expensive and crowded Hong Kong! The natives are so much nicer than kiasu Hongkong-ites anyway. A small cup of tea costs me HK$10 while a piece of plain Indian Nan costs HK$20, a bowl of not-appetising-at-all-Pakistani-halal-curry costs at least HK$40 (or RM20 per bowl). Here in KL it only cost us RM1 (HK$2) while a piece of Nan with curry costs only RM2 the most (a total of less than HK$6) for a full meal. Now the whole family agrees we don't ever want to live in Hong Kong!- I guess it is OK to visit as long Kak Ha is posted there.. hehehe poor Kak Ha.. she is stuck there for a few more years.

KL is certainly the best city on earth! hehehe :) yep even compared to Paris, Munchen, New York, San Francisco or Washington DC :P
