Shopping as Usual in Hongkong

A funny thing happened when we were in Hongkong.

From the ferry terminal of Hongkong, we took 2 cabs on our way to Causeway Bay. My Dad, sister and brother were in the same cab. Hubby, Baby Alex, and I on the second cab. We didn't know where we were staying then because my sister had an agreement with the owner that they would just meet at Causeway Bay Gate E. When we got to Causeway Bay, guess what happened? we were dropped off in different locations! Yes, we were in Causeway Bay, but, who would have thought that there are at least 4 MTR gates in Causeway Bay!?! And, the worst thing is, we weren't able to apply for roaming so we can't text and call!! Waaaaah! But the ones on the first cab were all bringing a cellphone. Hmph!

Anyway, we were looking and looking and looking for each other for the past 2 hours! We were in the highway (with all the huge luggages), Alex getting scared of the buses, me getting paranoid and scared and hot-tempered, and Hubby getting tired. Haaaaay. After several prayers, my sister finally saw us (while asking for directions to the police!). Thank GOD.

So, with this, we decided not to go to Disneyland anymore since it's already past lunch time and we were all soooo tired. And I was thinking of going shopping for more. hehe! :)

After having lunch at McDonald's, we spent the whole afternoon shopping at Causeway Bay.

Then we took a nap. After that, we went to Victoria Peak to have dinner there. We thought we'd find a good (and cheap) resto there but we ended up eating at McDonald's again! :)

The weather was not that cold compared to Macau, but you would still need a jacket. When Mom, Dad and I went to Hongkong last 2000, I really, really loved it! But now, I just don't know why I wasn't that impressed anymore. Maybe because I just came from Macau where it's so clean and quiet and the not-too-busy roads. Or maybe because we got lost and got stressed out!? Hmmm...

We just spent our overnight in Hongkong then we went back to Macau to go back to Clark. On our way back, it was stress-free! We were in ferry terminal really early that we were able to eat breakfast at wherelse! McDonald's! Haha! We got to Macau also early that we were able to visit Macau Tower. We had a great time here and met a lot of Filipinos working there. :)

Alex was just sleeping the entire trip! She was sleeeping in the ferry, in the cab, in the plane, and in the bus. Very good and tired baby. hehehe!

So, to end this post about our Holiday get-away, I just thank God for allowing us to have fun and for always, always keeping us safe. (*smile*)
