Ever since I had cancer, I realised how short life is and I kept pestering my hubby to bring me on a "recovery trip". Hence, we decided on HONG KONG!
It's not my first time there but considering bringing my in-laws and Vera, I try to go somewhere like Singapore. Where transportation is easy, food is accessible and water is clean.
We booked the air tickets during the NATAS fair on zuji.com and each ticket only $380 on Cathay Pacific. We also stayed in Metropark Mongkok Hotel. The hotel room is relatively spacious given how squeezy this city is. And only 3 minutes walk to the MTR station (Prince Edward Station). There are alot of food nearby although we really don't know where to eat. The Hong Kong cafe are not to our taste :(
The MTR is also very long compared to Singapore's MRT. I think the trains are twice the length of MRT? The people there are very impatient and not service orientated. They can throw the bill and plates at you. If you ask them more questions they will give you a black face and impatient look. I think it is the highly stressful life that they stay in. Imagine a city so crowded and living standards so high, it is quite normal to be so "pek cek".
Oh yah the MTR never break down and the frequency is very fast. Just that the stations are VERY troublesome for kids with strollers because most of the time, we had to use the stairs. Even if there are escalators, the Hong Kongers would be so pissed that we occupy the whole escalator with our strollers.

It was a super tiring trip even on the first day because we need to carry up and down the stroller at the MTR. Shag.
