Hong Kong 2009.

I am overwhelmed at the number of things I could do in this place! It's less than 2 wks before I leave MNL for a relaxing [but quite an expensive] experience with my mum! I am trying to plan our itinerary [we're doing a DIY trip] and hopefully we'll get to go to all the places we want plus some shopping along the way, after all, we are going there during the sale season!

I'm gonna be broke but happy!

I'll try to post photos and my final itinerary during or after my trip :)

So far, here's our proposed itinerary, we'll be staying 6d 5n in HK! :D Trip next year would also cover HK but more on Macau & Shenzen. This is it! I will be a jetsetter! :D

Blooey! Thank you for that tip! I'll print out the guide for second-hand bookstores later! :) It'll definitely help us since we have some free time for shopping. :)

I hope that I won't go over the plane's baggage limit! lol!
I'll blog about my finds too -- I'm starting to FINALLY catch up on my reading & blogging. I <3 vacations! :)

Thanks for sharing this post. Ocean Park is the 170 miles long sparkling jewel of Hong Kong. Kids enjoy in The Dolphin Breeding Centre. Bird lovers can enjoy seeing the Amazing Birds Show. Don't fail to visit the Butterfly House, Goldfish Pagoda. You can engage in some diving, sliding and spiralling water sports. In Ocean Theatre there are some extra ordinary performances showcasing Sea Lions and Dolphins up to their hysterical, rib-tickling tricks which attract the youngsters. Get the best experience riding in Mine Train, Raging River,Crazy Galleon etc.

Hi Ruby, got your link from GT. You may also want to visit The Peak after Ocean Park. And then, after The Peak, you can ride the ferry to go back to TST.

You may also want to check my Hong Kong posts on my blog. =)
