Back from Hong Kong

15/12/2013

 
The trip to Hong Kong was great! The last time that I ever travelled so far was back to my secondary school days to Guangzhou. There are many things in Hong Kong that are just similar to Singapore. Particularly, the MTR (MRT in Hong Kong). As close as the name suggest, it is actually pretty alike. Even some of the PA announcement system use the same phrases...

I'm still in the midst of uploading all my photos and videos to online backup and it is taking years. Photos are uploading fast while video uploads are crawling to finish. Will definitely post some pictures here as long as the backups are done. It is also taking over 10GB of space on my phone :/

United Airlines cancelled my flight and then rebooked me on SQ866 flight (Airbus A380). IMO, Singapore Airlines is much better than United Airlines. I don't want to say anything more, it is just better in every way. 

Had another chance to watch That Girl in Pinafore on the flight again, it was still amazing (No matter how many times I've watched it). I'm definitely buying the film as soon as it comes out in digital format or even iTunes. Creative is offering some of their MP3 players at an incredibly cheap price, but reviews of their products aren't that good :( Was actually considering to buy but then changed my mind because of the reviews.

(Kinda random)

The city area of Hong Kong is just plain crazy, crowded, and noisy. I cannot even walk a few steps before I had to avoid people in front of me. Things there are reasonably priced and also very comparable to Singapore.

Landed in Singapore at around 2am in the morning, and then my family took a cab back home from the airport. Reached home at around 3.10am (I still have to pick up my luggage). Slept immediately after I bathed. 

Will talk more about the trip after the pictures are ready :P
Signing off @ 4.19am
As always, take care and I'll see you soon :)
