Again its been a while since I wrote a post in this blog. I haven't been hauling beauty stuff for long time now, I feel bad. I have been more into books lately and you could check my book blog which is www.naixreads.blogspot.com so if your into reading its definitely for you.
Going on with the post. Its the end of March but it will always be a memorable month for me.
This was the month where I was able to travel with him for the VERY VERY first time outside the country!!!
It might not be that big of a deal to some but it was a very monumental moment for me at least.
Because with this trip I was able to do it with NO FINANCIAL HELP WITH NO ONE!
No debts and especially no help with the parents.
You know how it is when travelling abroad you've got to have that amount of money with you always cause if something happens, You have no one to turn to in that country especially if you have no relatives there. It was really a big step for me to do such a thing knowing I have no discipline when it comes to money but hey!
I DID IT!!! CHEERS TO US INDEPENDENT WOMEN! AHAHA!
So here are some of our travel escapades in a cold Hong Kong weather!
Waiting for our plane.
HERE WE GO!!!!
Here we are going on our way to our Hotel. Holiday Inn Golden Mile at Nathan Road.
It isn't pretty obvious how excited I was especially I was amaze how their airport express train was soooo convenient and fast. To be honest it was pretty expensive but worth it aha
DAY 1
This trip was an impromptu. We didn't avail any package tours and etc. This was all on us.
My mom even says that we were so brave to even think of traveling without any help. At first I was planning to get a package tour and when I saw how it was, I wasn't happy about it. Here's the problem.
Everything is timed. You have a certain hour to get ready and visit a place which doesn't work for me. I want to enjoy this country on my own time and pace. Second problem was limited places to go to. Now this was a HUGE issue for me. Hong Kong has a lot to offer somehow the packages that I saw were limited to their main attraction which is Disney Land or Ocean Park plus a park and that's it! In this trip we were able to go at least 5 places for only 3 days and 2 nights stay, Which was not bad at all.
Hong Kong as I've read from tons of reviews says that its one of the tourist friendly places you can visit especially for beginners like us, is a good place to start. There are a lot of signs and maps you can travel here by train alone. Its that easy!
Last problem with package tours, they are very expensive. Besides their planned destinations if you want to add more locations to their package you have to add additional fees that are more costly than what you think. I know! I've researched everything before going on this trip.
One of those website that helped me a lot in this trip is this link. CLICK HERE!
With this website you'll learn a lot! Down to the destinations, prices, links to go to, what to bring etc.
You should check this site and of course trip advisor for more reviews.
On our way to Peak Tram!
Don't worry English translations were present in every signage.
Just learn how to read PROPERLY of the directions.
Heading to
Sky Terrace 428!
I enjoyed this part! aha Were so high up.
NEXT STOP!
THE TRICK EYE MUSEUM!!!
This place was sooo fun! But I would advise that you bring a third person or a fourth one to take pictures for you cause its a MUST!
The Trick Eye Museum
Ice cream break at Mcdo with their Green Tea ice cream.
To tell you frankly, I wasn't fond of it.
Heading back home with their double decker killer bus.
Boy oh boy oh boy! Their driving is insanely scary!
Obviously you can tell by the looks of our foreign bus mates.
Hahaha! but seriously, It was a ride to remember.
DAY 2, to follow because this blog is going to be too long for all.
CHEERS!!!
