1st: mini hotel central : dirty shower soap, caused whole body allergy.
2nd: rude hotel staff, speaking so softly then upset when i said excuse me / pardon twice
3rd: char chan teng staff rude, food horrid, if you are typical malaysian, prepare for a taste bud assault of horrible tasteless food
4th: horrid other tourists from the nearest neighbours, spoiled everything in the trip, including non-lining up passengers for trams and trains, pushing and shoving even parents with young kids just to get a seat, congestion in shops (especially ctf and css jewellers) with them talking at the top of their voices.... spitting and  dirty habits omg
5th: have i mentioned the food sucks?

Funny how we never really encountered these problems though. But as comparison, mainland chinese are worse. We traveled first to South China (forgot the name of the place) and then only to HK-macau. On the first night itself in china, I encountered people spitting right next to you when we ate on the streets, and that was a shocker for me and family. And we had several experiences of our driver scolding another driver on the highway when the other car nearly bumped ours. Our driver was super pissed and even threw a bottle at that car and cursed him sweat.gif That was an eye-opener. Our tourist guide in contrast was a very gentleman guy. That's the bad experience in China.

But in HK, it's better, however the only problem I had was almost everybody, and everywhere I go in the streets of HK, everyone seems to be smoking. I felt suffocated there. wink.gif

Other than that, food-wise was pretty good and Macau although nothing but casinos, it's just very peaceful and quiet.
