Hey guys..!!!
I am back.....it feels so good to be back home..!....Hong Kong was a trip that I will never be able to forget....had a great time with my family.....sightseeing, shopping and going to Disneyland..!! I will blog about each day..and of course add pics..!

Day 1 (24th)
We went for sightseeing with one of them tour packages...I feel that you get more done when you go with tour guides...and you get a better understanding of what you are seeing as well...Our first stop was Man Mo temple....i actually did not find this place very interesting....not cause it was a Buddhist temple or anything..i have utmost respect for every religion....but there was nothing tht was like a ‘wow factor at this place..’....so some Buddha status...and an ancestral hall...(actually tht was interesting)....it was a bit similar to t he one i saw on the little Nona (Singaporean show)....it had tablets with the names and photos of some of the ancestors of the people...it was a short stop...mom and dad did not even come into the temple....they felt nauseated by the smell of the incense.....
After visiting the temple....we headed to Victoria’s peak....this was something that I was looking forward to.....it is the highest peak in Hong Kong...from the top you can see the whole of Hong Kong....which was awesome...Hong Kong is a really beautiful country...with...tallllll buildings and mountains..!!
Next was the Aberdeen fish market..this place was interesting in its own way..!!....all we saw was BOATS..!...haha....but it was actually quite sad to see all those ppl live on like tiny boats and tht too in the river.....man i am sure it can get quite cold out thr..!!
And our final stop was the Stanley market, it was just a place to shop for souvenirs and things...thats all....I got this gorgeous bag made with Chinese material....did shop much cause the shops were closing, (we arrived there pretty late). And that was the end of the tour. ....Long day it was..and our legs, no doubt were in pain..!

Day 2 (25th)
Christmas..!!!...went to church in the morning...and to our surprise we met friends we knew from India there... they too were on holiday....actually they are not friends, they are sort of related to us....
After svc we went to a place On the TUNG CHUNG line called Ngong Ping...cable car ride....it was basically a BIG tourist attraction....and we waited for a whole 3 hrs just to buy the ticket.....crazyyyyy...and I was wearing my boots...wah...my legs started killing me after the 1st hour..!!....and another 30 mins to actually get on the cable cars.....The cable car ride was beautiful....saw lots of scenery.....something I enjoy.....took tons of pics....the ride took us to like a small town where there we places to shop and eat....thats about it...so we just stayed there for like 20 mins and then back to the looooong Q.....we waited for another 30 mins to get back on the cable car to get back to where started off.....I guess the wait was worth it....!
After all that waiting....we only got back home around 9.30...and were too tired to do anything so we went back right back to the hotel room and slept...!!

Day 3 (26th)
We went on the star ferry.....(boats are a mode of transport in HK)...and we crossed from a place called Tsim Sha Tsui (unique name...TST...hehe) to a place called central....it was abt a 7 min journey..not long....but we took a couple of pics of the buildings and things.....
After we arrived at central, we decided to go to one of the malls thr and have lunch...so we went to mall and eat Macs....and just roam around....we could not buy anything..cause they were all like high class brands...Fendi, Prada, Gucci....wah...like I say cant even afford to pee in a place like tht...haha....
After that we got so sick of just walking around we went back to TST...and went to the AVENUE OF STARS.....its kinda like walk of fame in the states....except obviously with Chinese stars names on the pavement...The only reason we went to Avenue of stars was because of a thing they have in HK called the SOUND AND LIGHT SHOW....its basically a show where they have laser lights (from buildings) and background music playing.....It only started at 7.30 and we arrived at Avenue of stars at around 4...so we had a long time to wait.....and boy did we experience something horrible while we were waiting.....still gives me the shivers when I think about it.....We were sitting abt these benches right...and suddenly this guys comes from nowhere and puts this brown camera bag beside my leg, and I was like “what the heck”...and before I could tell my dad this lady and man came running and the guy who put the bag next to me started running....and he left the bag there....I was so scared my family and I got up and stepped away.....lucky they caught the guy...he was basically a robber.....omg to think he was like right next to me....but glad he was caught...!! After all tht comossion finally we saw the sound and light show...it was not that great actually....but I mean its something you see when you come to HK....

Day 4 (27th)
All I have to say about this day was AWESOME>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....We went to Disneyland....had so much of fun...I guess you’re never too old to go to a place like Disneyland....
Here are some of the rides I went on:-

Adventureland
1. Festival of the Lion King- this was not a ride it was a stage show which was mind blowing....lovely singing and dancing by the cast.
2. Jungle river cruise- Wah this was something else...and the fake animals looked so real and the fire and the river falls and all..!!

Main street USA

1. Hong Kong Disneyland railroad- this was a train that gives you a ride around Disneyland.
2. Art animation
3. “Let it snow” Christmas parade- This parade was fantastic with all the Disney characters taking a march down the main street USA drive, very enjoyable.

Fantasyland
1. Sleeping beauty castle.
2. Fantasy Gardens- This is where u stand in a super long Q just to take pictures with Disney characters...haha....but the wait is worth it...especially if you get to stand with Winnie the Pooh...hehe...
3. “Its a small world”- I don’t think I will ever get sick of this ride...We went to the same ride in Paris (twice) and again in HK....its FAB..!
4. The many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh- My first love Pooh was the star of the show...haha...its was such a cute ride...went on it twice...I just LOVE winnie the pooh

Tomorrow land
1. Space Mountain-OMG, this ride was THE MOST SCARIEST ride I have ever been on in my life, will never, ever go on this ride again, flip, I screamed the whole way, by the end of the ride I lost my voice. I cant describe it, but if you ever go to HK Disneyland and go on this ride...u will understand..!...Luckily I didn’t puke or anything..
2. Orbition- This was the exact opp of the pervious ride....haha...slow and calm and very enjoyable..!!
3. Autopia- This was basically like driving cars round and round in circles....it was fun gives me a taste of driving a car feels like....

After all this we headed back to the hotel room...tired after walking all day long.......


Day 5 (28th)
Sunday was the day of rest, we were so exhausted, we needed the sleep....mom and dad went to church in the morning...while jenny and I spelt in...but we prayed in the hotel room.....We did not do much....went out for lunch came back to the Hotel room...slept again...!..and then at night went out to TEMPLE STREET MARKET, did some shopping, bought a bag and some souvenirs, thats about it. And the next day morning we had a flight to catch at 8am, so woke up around 4 and headed off to the airport. Bye Bye Hong Kong.

All in all, this trip will be an unforgettable one.
