Went to Hong Kong with my family and relatives from 10-15 April.
First day was just walking about near the hotel area and constantly getting lost.
Day 2 was planned to go Disneyland initially, however it was raining and we changed the schedule to Da Yu Shan instead. As it was raining and we were on a mountain, all of us were feeling freaking cold. On top of that, I was wearing shorts. The temperature was probably less than 15 degrees and we could see the mist coming out from our mouths when we talked.
What we did at Da Yu Shan were taking the cable car, climbed up the long stairs, eat vegetarian food and got ourselves froze to almost death. But ironically, that was the day I enjoyed the most. Or rather, you could imagine how bad rest of the days were.
Day 3:
We took the ferry to Macau. First time experience of taking the ferry. I would get the feeling of sitting a pirate ship ride occasionally when I was on the ferry.
Galaxy hotel was really grand and the hotel we stayed in was really fantastic. But that's all about it. My bro and I couldn't enter the casino so there's really nothing much for us to do in Macau.
Day 4:
Walking around Macau. Wasn't interesting in appearing in pictures cos I was too tired.
Day 5: Disneyland
Supposed to be an enjoyable but due to lousy planning, everyone was angst. There's nothing much in HK disneyland though. USS is better than that.
Overview:
I didn't enjoy this Hong Kong Trip at all largely due to lousy planning (btw, my sis is the planner). What she did for planning was: Today we shall go Da yu shan FULL STOP. How to get there? No idea..
I went to Taiwan with my friends without a nice plan too. Or rather we didn't even stick to the plan. But at least we spent some time discussing the itinerary every night or morning before moving out and checking of routes were done nicely in the hotel. However, for this HK trip, my family and relatives were always thinking of getting out of the hotel and plan later. But the problem is, we only get access to the internet in the hotel!
Another thing was the hotel issue. I totally don't get my sis's definition of BUDGET. Her definition of BUDGET is that we get a room in an atas hotel and 11 of us squeezed in that hotel room meant for only 5, 2 or 4 people. After a day of travelling to different places and walking around, I couldn't even get a good rest. For the first 2 days, I have to squeeze in a single bed with my sis, slept on the sofa on the 3rd day accompanied by loud snoring sound made by my sis's bf and slept on the floor with the aircon blasting at me, even a blanket and jacket couldn't keep me warm.
There were just too many unpleasant things about this trip that the only thought I had was for it to end ASAP when I was there the first day.
