Day 1..
the long awaited day that i have longed for has finally arrived... the trip to Hong Kong and China loomed before me.. only minutes away from my grasp.. we took cathay pacific there and boy i muz admit that it is way better than SIA.. seriuzly.. although i didn understand the cantonese they were tokin but the service was tops..
we made our first stop at Hong Kong International Airport frm which we made our way to the border and crossed over to china by bus.. from this very experience.. i can really tell that the chinese officials are very paranoid.. they checked my luggage 3 times... removing all of its contents... leavin my bag in a much untidy state...
we then checked into our hotel room at the Pavilion..and went downtown for some shoppin where i got a new watch...
Day 2..
woke up much earlier than usual due to a wake up call from my parents.. i heard that we were heading to my dad's head office in shenzhen china.. or which we were actually in.. lol.. the factory was also located side by side.. so we took a peek.. and i muz say.. these ppl are really proficient.. and the room is totally white...but wad the heck.. we went to the theme park and wow did i had a fun time there.. the log flume there wins the one at escape hands down.. u wont believe it until u experience it urself.. really.. the splash it makes is so big that if u didn have a raincoat on... its as good as standing under a waterfall... the splash was so tremendous that they had to protect the bridge ahead with glass to prevent the visitors from getting wet!!
as interesting as it sounds.. my parents only went on 1 ride.. while my bro onli 2... damn waste of money... haiz.. esp when the tic costs 140rmb... or ard $27.. haiz..
Day 3..
not surprisingly.. i woke up at 7 once again... and we set off to windows of the world as soon as breakfast was done.. this theme park.. is located directly opp the one we visted the day b4.. and consisted of real life strucutres frm ard the world only in a smaller scale.. and well after which we went on to dongmen.. where the shoppin heaven was..well or at least thats wad my parents painted to me.. when we went there... it was utter chaos... we could hardly move and broke off several times.. i did however managed to buy 4 shirts... at quite a bargain i muz say..at 180rmb.. or abt $36...
Day 4..
we set off to hong kong and the hotel rm we stayed is juz too good to be true.. i had the hong kong cbd skyline at my window.. the beautiful blue sea.. its juz too gd... of cuz e price will also be veri beautiful...lol.. we then headed to mongkok where the hong kong shoppin heaven is.. and we bought an endless lists of items..
Day 5..
