hongkong was fun!! =D

i spent most of my time there aimlessly walking around =]
every morning i just get up look at the map
see which mtr station to go
then walk around there

saw many things by doing this tho =]

they had directions to the local attractions at each station so there was things to see and do


the trip kinda started out with a trip to macau
where i played slots
and this screen
covered my losses
and gave me my pocket money for my shopping.
all of it.

the next day we went to ocean park!
sat a few rides and it was fun!


the next day ( i think)
i went to victoria peak after walking around hongkong central for the whole day waiting for my cousin to end school
and went to the madam tussads museum
ITS IP MAN OMG hahahaha

chio bu.


behind me is the mid level escalators in hongkong.
is this series of escalators that starts from the bottom level (city area)
to the mid level, where all the apartments are at.

talking about transport
this is how their trains look like.
very standard huh.
haha
its how i got around most of the time when im alone.

oh i also went to times square hongkong.
they were having some exhibition there
so there were really cool statues like this
=]
and the next day we were off to taiwan!

we stayed at this hotel called san want hotel.
i think its open by wang wang.
i think the picture above explains why i think so.
haha

we visited a few night markets. or 夜市 =]
one of them was shilin night market 士林夜市
we found a xxl chicken stall =]
so of course
must buy and eat
hahaha

and we also had shaved ice at another night market.



taipei 101 is taaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll.

but i didnt go up tho.
there was a queue to go up to the observation deck.
and the waiting time was about 45 mins.
so nah.
never go.

instead we went back to around the hotel area and had tea!
i had this.=]
chocolate milk tea and buttered toast =]


then at night we went to another night market.
shopped around..
and had mee sua. this one wasent oyster tho.


i went luxy with my cousins!
they say its the best club in taipei.
but its really good la. =D
the people there go there to have fun.
main difference from singapore.
hahahaha

the next day....
i had this
for lunch. along with other things ah.
=]
this is like xiao long bao.. but only the soup is separate from the bao itself. as you can see from the top left corner.
special huh.

we spent the day shopping at wu fen pu, they have SSOOO many things to buy there wow.
haha, then at night we went to another night market!!
haha taiwan all night market one hahahahaha
this, my friends, is butter crab. see the gravy/soup?
that is melted butter.
all of it.
it smells good.
and this.
is a food stall. see all the stuff around an area infront of the cook?
that is a pot of hot oil.
everything here just pick and deep fry.
yums.

and question of the day.
from looking at these top 2 pictures.
how can Taiwanese people stay so slim?

after the taiwan trip.
we went back to hongkong.
i stayed one more day.
then go back singapore
in that one day..
i had hongkong french toast in a street cafe called tsui wa.

and visited the goldfish market street where they sell pets like cats dogs and fish.

as before i left for taiwan..
hongkong is still hot.

went to the avenue of stars to see names of stars on the floor. and the symphony of lights at night.
note.
