Hong Kong

Upon arriving at the airport in Taiwan, I heaved a sigh of relief thinking that everything was over and I'd finally be able to relax and see the boyfriend, only to find that I had 3 months left on my passport and was not allowed into Taiwan due to the 6 months limit to expiry. I know it was my fault that I didn't bother to check and to find out but the fucking travel agency looked at my passport and said it was okay and I didnt need a visa to enter, and the Australian and Malaysian immigration let me through, now I couldn't go into Taiwan?

I was allowed to stay in Taiwan for the night provided that I exit early next morning to either obtain a visa to get back in and then renew my passport in Taipei, or just go back to Australia. MAS had to pay for my expense because of their mistake in letting me into the country, therefore I was provided a 5 star accomodation at Guo Pin Hotel. The boyfriend and my other friends came over to my hotel to stay since I wasn't allowed to leave the hotel. I know, I sound like a freaking illegal immigrant haha, damn embarrassing okay.

The next morning, I left for Hong Kong. Thank god I have this hugeass circle of family, because I found out a cousin of mine stayed in Hong Kong, so I got to stay with him and his family, saving me a big portion of my money from those daylight robbery hotel rates. The rates were like AU$250, and that was already considered average! -_-" I'd rather save that for shopping okay.

Hong Kong was alot better than I expected. I went shopping and bought so many jackets, accessories and stuff! Then I started thinking to myself, oh man, thank goodness my passport screwed up. Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to go to Hong Kong, which means I wouldn't have been able to buy all these jackets! Things sure worked out better than I thought! I had been wanting to go to Hong Kong for a long time, and now this was a very good excuse to go, so I sure had to make damn good use of it!

Man, I saw so many hunks around, but many lacked the manliness quality in them. Most of them were all tall and lanky, very fair and all looking good in their working clothes. Damn, I should've kidnapped one for you hey fi! Hahaha. I stayed in Hong Kong for 5 days, and then left to Taiwan again after my visa was issued.

Here are some pictures taken in Hong Kong, would've written longer but I gotta go to Taipei soon for the weekend and for a friend's engagement! Congrats to Joyce and Jack aka MaoMao!

Hong Kong, here we go!


















Ads, Skyscrapers, Peak time. Life on the fast track.

Yum char at Po Lam in Metrocity, where the cousins live.


















Cousin Wilson and his adorable son, Ian.


















Now you know why Wilson had to hold Ian's hand down everytime we took a pic, because he likes to do this. Weird eh? Haha.


















Cousin in law, Cindy, who used to be an air stewardess for MAS. She told me lotsa air stewardess stories and goss and took me to great shopping areas.


















Ian screaming, "No daddy! I need to do the peekaboo pose! Daddddy!"


















That's Ian and his younger brother, Brian, only six months old. He was actually named Brendan, but Cindy found out that my brother was named Brendan as well, hence the change.


















Chim Sa Zui, doesn't it look familiar? This is the place where most of the gangster scenes in Hong Kong movies are taken.


















Christmas decorations has already begun. Very fancy and beautiful hey.


















Breathtaking scenery. 'Nuff said.

I didn't have enough of Hong Kong yet, that's for sure. I wanna go back to shop again!

Hong Kong and Shanghai next year, anybody?
