hello hk

gosh...this is all i can do for today. almost 1 a.m. already. the first few shots of hk on 17/4.

the new passenger terminal in lcct. everything is sparkling and yes, thank you for all the extra seats. we bought our drinks before boarding the flight. of course cheaper than buying in the aircraft. they dun check for liquid already once you are here. yee is holding the piece of margerined butterscotch gardenia bread we packed from home. our breakfast. love the smell of butterscotch. and we finished the whole loaf on the flight. hahaha....by that time it was almost flat.

the flight from kl was on time....7.35 a.m. so you can imagine how early we had to get up. dad sent us there. i was sleepy but i still couldn't get my sleep on the flight. a nap yes, but not sleep. reach hkia before 12noon. hk near the airport.

if you are planning to take the public transport to the city, be it kowloon or hk island, use the bus. they have the aero train, hotel shuttle and the public buses. hotel shuttle to our destination was hk$140. i walked out of the terminal building and asked for the public bus, the price was $48. my hotel was the 4th stop from the airport. around 15-20 mins. island pacific hotel on hk island, sheung wan to be specific. it is one stop north of central stop via mtr.

the view from our hotel and the hotel lobby which is on the first floor. ground floor is the entrance into the hotel, then take the escalator up to the first floor. it is a 4 stars hotel. buildings everywhere...and a little corner of the sea.

our comfortable room...where i had sound sleeps the 2 nights i was there. the tv even had welcome message for us. more spacious than the previous hotel i had stayed in hk.

then we waited for my pen-pal, regent whom i had corresponded with since college time. she overslept so was late for more than an hour. we promised to meet at 2pm but she only came at around 3.30p.m. well, at least that gave me more time to rest on the bed.

ok....to be continued....sleep time now.
