Hong Kong here I come

Day One

I thought that I was going to be one of the very last person to get into the flight, Thai Airways.

The schedule of the flight is at 16.00 hours, in which all passengers required to be presenting themselves at the new Suvarnnabhumi International by 14.00 hours. However, I left my office at Sathorn at 13.30!

Lucky me, the traffic of Bangkok was not as bad as it always be. Therefore, it took only half an hour to get to the airport from Bangkok downtown.

It seems to take forever while waiting for passport control at the port of my destination. I wonders, what took this so long?

The answer is:- the officers to ask each of the traveller a several questions as "how much money do you have?", "where will you be staying?", "can I see your return ticket?".

Again, I was lucky enough that I was asked none of the questions...and passing through the control booth within a minute.

The first night went well with a warm welcome from my Japanese brother, Yojin. He greeted/picked me up at the front gate of the the Airport Express. Then we roamed up to the top floor of the building, where a cool open-air restaurant is located at.

After a couple bottle of beers, just before the arrival of our pizza plate, we, a group of four (of another two friends of Yojin) were joined by a big-local-cockroach. For the first time in years, I have learned that we all afraid of this kind of survived insect!

Day Two

My favourite Krispy&Kream donut shop from London is now opened in Hong Kong! It was a big surprise of mine while I was taken for a light breakfast at this donut shop.

I first know this shop during my visit to UK back into July. Since then, I always asked my mates, who happened to be roaming for London to bring me a box of donuts.

The highlights of the day went to an excursion to Lantau Island, taking a cable car (Ngong Ping 360') to the big Buddha image.

Thanks for Kanina, a friends of Yojin, who introduced her mates and took me to the place.

Another highlight happened at night where I met another good mates namely Luisa and Patty. The four of us (Yojin included) went to a live comedy show called TakeOutComedy in SoHo then were having a long drink(s) at the pub near by.

I was so (little) drunk with beers and vodka(s) and became more and more talkative. The session ended at 03.00am and I was so happy with it.

We were so drunk.

Day Three

Another excursion to Sai Kung, a small city in the New Territories of Hong Kong.

We first get off at a train station, took a bus to Sai Kung.
The place is known for market seafood.

The fishes still alive and swim in the boat, waitng for a right person to picks it.

I have never expected that Hong Kong has such a big and beautiful greenery like this. On the excursion way, we passed through the dam, the woods, and the beach (with a little hiking)!

The scenery of HK beach is exactly look like the one in Krabii, Thailand.

On the top of the dam.

Wow....it is such an incredible experiences to see lots of things in a day!

Before the arrival of evening, I was rushing myself to finish my shopping lists for dad and mom. The shopping went very successful with the help for Yojin, who called the shop for a right direction.

We had sushi as dinner (instead of all time favourite-Tonkatsu) before I rushed myself into the Airport Express terminal, which means a conclusion of my trip.

Farewell picture!

A boarding pass for my way home.

BIG thanks to all the new friends, who makes the trip became a superb experience!

BIG BIG thanks to Yojin, you are such a good brother. I would recommending you to switch your job to be a member of HK Tourism Board!
