Next destination: Hong Kong

That is mean you don't choose the second offer right? Do yo mind to share the work that you are going to do there?? Is that a permanent job and how long you will be there in Hong Kong?

Ignore the picture as it suppose to be in other reply of another topic of yours.(^^)

Yes, i took the offer! Haha! Thank you for remembering. Although, i'm still scared to take this risk. We'll see! :)

Hi whitneysquirrel. I just research a lot.:) Where are you staying in Hong Kong? We stayed in Causeway Bay. There is a park in front of our hotel - Victoria Park. There isn't much to see there. Just trees and green grass, but my dad would always go there every morning and do some "exercise" LOL. I've never been to Mid-Level Escalator. I heard that there are lots of restaurants there. So if you want to go food-tripping, you can check the place out. Otherwise, there's nothing much to see there. If you want a different experience, you can try the rooftop cinema. As the name suggest, you watch movies outdoors - on the rooftop of M88 (in Central)! I think it's a cool experience though I haven't tried it yet.

Wow, it really sounds like you know a lot of places in HK that only the locals know. I am now convinced to visit Chi Lin Nunnery. Do you know of any other parks or places where locals hang out? It doesn't have to be tourist spots as I love walking around neighborhoods and meld into the scenery. I heard that there are some great places to explore along the elevator in Central. Maybe you could recommend some of them?

Wow, I assume you've already been to Hong Kong? How was your experience there? Thanks for the tip about going to museums on wednesdays! :)

I've been to Macau by taking the ferry boat from Hong Kong. I'm wondering how I'll be able to go to Shenzen from Hong Kong. Do you know how? I'd love to go there! Do I need a visa or something? Because I don't need a visa for Hong Kong, and Shenzen might require one? Haha i don't know much about it. How long will it take to go to Shenzen? What's the Windows of the World? (sorry for being unaware of a lot of things. Haha!) What else can I do in Shenzen?

There are tour operators that offer tours to Shenzhen and one of the attraction is the Windows of the World....it is a very huge theme park that showcases all the tourist destinations in the world. They built miniature eiffel tower, joanne d'arc, venice, liberty statue, grand canyon, niagara falls, safari, etc.....one day is not enough...in the evening they have parade....we were joking that time because there was nothing from our country, and one of us said that it is outside, the pile of garbage that represent smokey mountain LOL! I went there in 1995 as a side trip as my destination was HK, we took a train from HK to shenzhen, it will take 45 minute travel, we got the visa at the border, you just have to pay for the visa, then cross the border...that time HK is not yet under china's territory, but it will be handed over to them soon as they have a countdown meter on the border on how many days left for them to acquire HK. Now, I have no idea but I think you still have to get a visa as china is not a member of the asean countries where we could just enter without any visa. But better do research as that time the language barrier had posed a problem as they do not speak english. Buses has numbers on their route, i think better to buy a tour...aside from windows of the world, we just walked on the downtown areas, atmosphere is very much different in HK and we did food tripping as it was really excellent. Oh, do not drink the tea that will be first served in the restaurants upon seating as it is meant to rinse the tea cup...that was what I was told....and chopsticks are sooo heavy...

Hope you will have a nice time in Hong Kong!

It's good to hear from a Hong Kong resident. It's a big help! Thank you! I wasn't able to go the top of the peak last time. I wanted to, but i was on a tour package and only had limited time. This time, i'll be able to have all the time I want! Thanks for all the great tips and suggestions. I'll try to visit them all! :)

yes I did remember and yes it but natural to be a bit scare but don't worry friend, once you're there you might forget all the fears and enjoy a lot. and yes I would love to hear the updates. Good luck

Hey thatgirl! Thanks for remembering! Yup, i took it but still scared about it. Haha! I hope nothing goes wrong with the visa process and everything. I'll update you about my Hong Kong experiences once I'm there. I hope you get to visit your best friend soon! :)

Wow, thank you Maximax! I'm sure you've traveled to a lot of places already. I envy you! Thanks for the Hong Kong tips! I can't wait to go there again for the second time.
