The wonders of HK
Was in HK for a short visit to hubby dear 2wks+ back. A little apprehensive at first with tis being my first time travelling abroad alone and pregnant, but it turned out ok (minus the vomiting in the ferry to Macau! euuii!). What did i enjoy most about HK, besides the short and precious reunion with hubby, would be the shopping.. and the food, though there are many more local delicacies yet to be discovered by yours truly (must brush-up on my Cantonese first!).What i discovered... (and more)
To walk fast (even if you were lugging a 2tonne bag) or else you might get pushed or worst get trampled lest you were to fall.
Order your food carefully. If you can't speak the language, point to the picture or something... If you think you've ordered meal A and the waitress got it as meal B, then you'll just be getting the latter.
Lots of walking here, including uphill hike (some steep ones too).
Not a good place if you are claustrophobic.
Queue moves fast - ppl are quite efficient.
They can be racist too. Doesn't really surprise me cos even in a multiracial setting ppl can be racist, what more in a country where one race dominates.
Ppl are rude and selfish. Typical.
Overall, i enjoyed my short stay there. Of course mainly due to spending valuable moments with hubby dear. The next time i'm there i'm hoping to be equipped with a better Cantonese! I better!!
