HK update

Gah...neck pain...

ok,nevermind,here's a short blog entry for the time being.

First impressions:

-HK really has a looooooooooot of cabs. More cabs than cars.Later one of the cabbies told us it's because the fuel is expensive,but i think it's also because there are too many people in Hk,so if everyone has a car then the traffic jam can bertanding with KL.Oh,and most of the buses are double deckers

-HK has too many people.Looks like those tourist photos of Tokyo.Especially in the evenings.When I'm pissed out i like imagining someone detonating a bomb in TsimShaTsui at 7.00pm...

-Housing is very expensive because of lack of land.Waterfront apartments that are very tiny still can sell for a few million.There is no such thing as single or double storey houses,even the Mercedes kaki all stay in apartments.

-The shop attendants and waiter/esses are usually very rude at peak hours.

-The public transport and amenities are very good.Especially the parks because they have a lot of water features and aviaries,some even have mini zoos.

-HK food is like Malaysian Chinese cooking.So nothing especially exciting.Except the smelly taufu which really was very smelly and we didn't dare to try.It's very popular though.

-The guys know how to choose good hairstyles man...and the women know how to do makeup very well.And all of them are very fashionable.Louis Vuitton and Bally goods everywhere you look.

-HKees and Malaysian Chinese look similar so they will always speak to you in Cantonese and ask you for directions if you are one.

Day 1

Arrived at the guest house at 11.00 so we just went for supper and then slept.lol...The guest house was run by an Indonesian Chinese guy,so can speak BM to him and the staff.The room (including the bathroom)we had was only about the size of my bedroom but shared by 3 people.

Day 2

Went to Lantau Island to see the Tien Tan Buddha statue.Went there the long way: 2 ferries and 2 buses up Happy Tree Friends looking narrow mountain roads.

Lantau island,where everyone cycles.There's even a bike carpark.
A fishing village we passed  by on the way to the statue.
A gateway at the temple.
hahah...sadly this is the only HK guy I managed to photograph(by accident,i wanted to photograph the pillar but this guy suddenly popped out for a pose) too bad because HK guys are quite good looking...T-T
The Buddha statue,up 260 steps.
What goes up must come down.Here's the view coming down the statue.Oh well,at least not as tiring as the going up part...
One of the carved pillars outside one of the prayer halls.

We wanted to come down the mountain by cable car but the service was stopped due to an accident earlier on. From the news,we heard that the services reopened the next week after repairs and upgrades.

Oh yeah...and we saw a gay marriage on Lantau Island too.lol...We assume it was lah,coz there wasn't any bride...

Coming soon...

Day 2 and more pix
