Hong Kong-Macau Trip

Hong Kong City Lights
It’s been 11 months since I had my 3-day tour in Hong Kong and Macau last September 8-11, 2012. It was a wonderful experience and definitely I enjoyed my trip. It was my first out-of-the-country trip and I never imagined that I will enjoy it to the max! The tour doesn’t seem to be 3-day trip as I arrived at Hong Kong airport almost past 10pm and had a little problem finding my luggage in the huge Hong Kong airport. 


Disney Castle
I was a bit anxious and excited when I passed off the immigration and was looking for a store where to find a bottle of water. There’s a 7-11 store but to my utterly dismay, the 500ml bottle of water is $40HKD! What does include in that water, diamond crystals?! But since you will feel like you’re going to die right at that moment if you don’t drink water, you will force yourself to shell-out $40HKD just for a small bottle of water.

Venetian Resort & Casino
Then, the following day, a whole day tour to Hong Kong Disneyland which I totally enjoyed and wished I brought my daughter with me. It’s like the pictures from my Disney books came to life! Then there’s the parade of Disney characters including Tinkerbell and the princesses. And then at 8PM, the fireworks accompanied by the soundtracks of Disney princesses movies started. 

And finally, a whole day trip to Macau, my favorite city. You will never smell a single odor even at the port. No flies, mosquitoes, bugs, even the public toilets are so clean. I felt ashamed when I thought about the public toilets in the Philippines. I also visited the Venetian Resort and Casino which will tempt you to shop till you spent your last dollar in your wallet, but then, if you have your credit cards, feel free to shop because its tax free.

 The whole 3-day trip was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. Definitely  will go back to Disneyland and Macau for another unforgettable tour and will surely take my daughter with me. I want to her experience the same excitement and adventure I had.
