QUOTE(terryykf @ Mar 23 2015, 12:12 PM) i not managed to get any ticket this round. the cheap ticket i saw this morning is going to Seoul next year March, RM466/return ticket. But it is too early for me to book so early. I have plan ahead for that period of time. Sigh. Is ok. i believe they will always have free seats promo. Oh ya..im back from HK! The weather was 23c. Not that cold. But a bit chilly at night, especially if you are at the peak/NP. if you walk on the street, you don't feel that cold also la. but it was nice to walk at cooling weather in HK because you are actually walking from 8am to 9pm. omg! my feet seriously tired and pain! end up i bought a sport shoe there. I stayed at Dorsett Mongkok. Expected small room in HK. But i have no complaints on the cleanliness. Only complaint is the bed is not comfy. Stayed for 3 nites. The hotel provides free shuttle bus every hour. So every morning, i will hop on their 8am shuttle bus to Langham Place and then start my day. Oh ya. the hotel also provides free smartphone for you to travel around, and free calls to Malaysia!! Stayed at Lanson Place at Causeway Bay for last two nights. Definitely much more better hotel than Dorsett Mongkok. It is one of the small luxury hotel. Each room comes with small kitchenette, a sofa. also provides smartphone for you to travel around. But no free calls to Malaysia. Room much more bigger, bathroom much more bigger and of course the bed much more comfortable la! imagine after long day walking with tired and sore feet, all you want is hot shower and comfortable bed. Went to Big Buddha. Weather was too foggy and unable to take nice photo. But I did walk to Wisdom Path. Nice scenery. Really. Worth the walk although my feet was pain already. |

It is a very nice scenery. Worth the walk. It was very foggy and strong wind when I visit. Unable to get nice photo. Only not managed to go further into the Wisdom Path (only entrance) because the wind was too strong and also weather not that good and the time was around 530pm. Does not know what time was the last bus back to Citygate (cable car was shut down for maintenance during my visit). - night - take MTR to Sam Sui Po. also a snacks heaven. - dinner at one of the goose meat rice restaurant.
