HongKong

Tall building, brand stuff, shopping heaven. However, Hongkong is one of my dreams place when I was younger I really want to go there to see skyline and [Tsing Ma Bridge] in eyes. So, I decided to pick the ticket and flew there with my friends, seven people.  Hongkong we are coming!

We did not flight direct from Phnom Penh airport; we chose to flight from Bangkok instead of to save some cost, 3 hours from Bangkok to Hongkong. We arrived to HK, did not know how to do with this huge airport, I was thinking before I arrived to HK I heard from people HK airport is claimed as the second big one, a hundred gates in my thinking but oh no it has 531 gates, I asked people to reached my departure hall and gate. We were not stopped in HK, after arrival we headed to ShenZhen (SZ) is one huge city in China. The bus took us to SZ we crossed the Tsing Ma bridge but driver could not stop for us, so I could not make any photos of Tsing Ma bridged.

In HK, we stayed at [Mansion Building] where is the center of [Tsim Sha Tsui] accommodations are very expensive and very small rooms ever. We enjoyed the night life in HK [Skyline]. We took a speed train to [Disney Land] entrance fee cost 60usd I won’t pay it too expensive. So, we just walked around the resort, took some photos, chilled out. We went there in November the weather was so cold about 2 degrees.

We headed from Disney land to [Big Buddha] by cable car about 15usd for ticket. Even though HK is the modern city but it still has the green views for us to see like big Buddha, old grave, national park. HK is the super clean country but people are not very nice to you, they are not willing to help when you asking for. HK people doesn’t like mainland Chinese so no Chinese or Mandarin only English &Cantonese is welcome.

Shenzhen

From HK airport to SZ bus costs 5usd, tons of people are line up at the border to get permit to SZ. HK and SZ are belonging to China, before HK is colonized by British more than 100 years, so HK has their own governor and management systems.  It was bad to me coz I had to apply and pay double Visa fee. We stayed at [Lao Di Fang hotel] is the famous one in town, one night cost 80usd, it was fabulous and huge room was 38 square meters. 

In SZ there are tons of street foods stands in [DONG MEN] Street.I bet you will mouthwatering with their foods, I could not even describe about more than 100 stores. People was looking at us like we did not have meals for a week, ate like the hell. We traveled with 7 people at that times, two of us can speak Mandarin well, so we separated in two groups, I picked 3 three people with, another friend picked two people with, coz we did not want to waste time on waiting each other shopping their own stuff. SZ has so many shopping malls, and local stuff that we could afford for.  I am the one who doesn’t really like shopping, I like to make new friends, capture the moments, spend time with my beers and enjoy the moments. As I said travel to collect the memories not stuff, but my friends they do like shopping, I had to accompany them. One night in SZ, looked at the night views from my window; it was stunning. Early morning, we took MRT subways to [Window of the world].

 [Time is silver and money to them] they don’t waste a minute for nothing. Everyone is so active and rushes, it was pretty hard to catch the MRT in the morning, a lot of people try to push their way to work. It was a very unforgettable memory to us, we tried to get in MRT at that time, we got lose one friend she had the slow motion one in the group, her moving is very slow, she speaks little English and zero Chinese. Once we were on MRT, I counted our members 1.2.3.4.5.6 where was the another one? I saw her from the window of MRT, she was waving hand to me oh my goodness, I couldn’t believe it, and she was not on board with us what the hell is! I made the sign to her, wait me there we will be back to find you soon, MRT was stopped at the next station we all got off the MRT and straight to find her, but she was not there anymore, my heart had started to beat faster I didn’t know where she was now? One girl in MRT she was asking me what could I help you Miss. I told her I lost one friend here; i didn’t know where to find her, then she told me why didn’t you tell the police station about your friend looks like, maybe they could announce to other station if they found her would keep her in the safe place. Finally, we found her at another station.
