Sua-gu Ching Journal day 5

finally i am done with cleaning up my room; you won't know how dirty a room can be if it is left unattended for a month.
most of the photos were taken from day 15 onwards; the first two weeks i was busy running errands: cleaning up my house, make my IC and 回乡证 (something i need in order to go mainland China), etc. it's only after sh came we started going on a tour like what other tourists do.
photos are mostly taken by sh, sorry they are not that fantastic 'cause there are too many photos and i don't have the energy and will power to edit all of them.

wow! Hong Kong is really a shopping paradise leh; i spent like a total of $1.5k in a month shopping, eating and playing. there are so much to do in Hong Kong, seriously 2 weeks was not enough for me; how i wish i can stay there for a longer period of time.. but well, not money, no time..

i think those people in Hong Kong are really afraid of germs and bacteria; everywhere i went there would be disinfectant gel and wash, and when people are down with flu, they would put on a mask; the TV kept showing advertisement on bird flu and ways the public should deal with contagious diseases (wear mask, see doctor, rest more, drink water); even the KTR station were flooded with announcement asking people not to spit in pubic (because that would spread germs around). i think they have kind of reached this paranoia state whereby when people sneeze/cough without a mask, they would stare. (that happened to me, and i wasn't sick; just that my nose was itchy)

day 5 in Hong Kong

went Avenue of Stars that night, was uber crowded, just like everywhere else. it was not even like near Christmas or something. it was cold there.. and very hazy..

tried out best to snapped some photos:








actually there wasn't really much to see there, because we went at night, and all the hand prints were on the floor, and it was flooded with nothing but human beings, and there were so many names that we are not familiar with, and there were many names without hand print (most probably because they are dead), many people just stepped on them without even bothering about who they were stepping on. my father said it was kind of sad for those celebrities: it is like their are being stepped on every minute.

the only celebrity i saw people taking photograph was Andy Lau's, the Chinese tourists were like uber excited when they saw his hand print and kept shouting, “刘德华！刘德华！拍照，拍照！ ”. then they crowded around the print and pose there.. kept snapping photos non-stop.. amazing

the scenery was breathtaking. even though it was very hazy that night but we could see the beautiful Hong Kong island, and it was even more beautiful because of all the Christmas light decoration.

东方之珠真的是名不虚传。
