Day 1: Arrival in Hong Kong
Ahhh finally… my feet touched the lands of Hong Kong =D lol! Actually I just missed riding an airplane and being on a foreign land to explore stuffs and appreciate things. People tend to forget to appreciate the little things that surround them when they are in their usual routines.
Oh well, first stop was lunch; hb was kinda hungry already so we did not scout for any more restos outside airport and settled in at Maxim’s. Too bad the crew assists so fast and I was not able to choose my order carefully, boo! I ordered for a beef wanton mami while hb ordered for hainanese chicken, which was soooooo yummy. I never liked hainanese chicken but when I tried hb’s order, i just said wow! hehehe I won’t talk about my order anymore because it was disappointing.
After eating, we headed straight to Newton Hotel located at the Fortress Hill station of MTR. We rode a 2-layer bus just so we can see the sceneries and target areas to visit =D In approx 1 hour, we arrived at our destination.
After getting some rest, we decided to walk around and window shop until we arrived at Causeway Bay! Wow that was like walking 2 MTR stations hehehe
We ate dinner at a Japanese resto and had a great experience. By the way, I tried their Kiwi juice drink, kinda weird but nice… I’m decided to really increase my fruit intake so I’ll do whatever it takes =)
Day 1: Departure from Manila
Airlines advice you to be at the airport 2 hours before the flight and they actually have valid reasons for telling you so… The reasons include, falling in line to pay your travel tax (sometimes not necessarily done in airport), falling in line to check in your bags, falling in line to get your bag inspected (and you’ll have to remove your shoes, belts, etc. in this step), falling in line in immigration, and the list goes on…
We arrived at the airport 1 hour before our flight and we were literally out of breath due to running around the airport, tsk…luckily, we managed and we were able to sit in the boarding area for like 5 mins!
We left Manila on time – 11:00 AM.
Cathay Pacific is great because you get to have your own screen with own remote control and own headset so you can enjoy a variety of shows. I was only able to finish 1 show, 10 Hottest Holywood Couples, because the trip was kinda short =) Not sure with the title though, but I am sure that Brangelina got the number 1 spot.
