Hong Kong Vacation 2/5

Wynn Hotel Waterfront

Well, it seems today we are going finally to the Hong Kong part of the Hong Kong Vacation. But first I saw this amazing waterfront the night we were strolling around Macau. This is the Wynn Hotel in macau theres also one in Las Vegas, according to my cousin, but enough about that on to Hong Kong.

Next Morning which was a Friday, my family and I went to the Jet Station in Macau, where we purchased 2 tickets for a ferry that will bring us to Macau. We were quite early so while waiting we went to the Duty Free shop right next to the check-in counter. I gotta tell you the prices were totally outrages, a tube of sugus candy costs about 8 Malaysian Ringgit, that is way to much to pay for some candy.

Anyway the next thing you knew, it was time to board the ferry.





The First Ferry to Hong Kong

We boarded the First Ferry to Hong Kong which was amazingly quite silent and smooth, the trip lasted about an hour or so then we arrived in Hong Kong. My mom quickly hauled a cab for us and it was of to the Hotel. I totaly forgot the name of the hotel, oh well.
We slept in for a bit then we headed out to explore Hong Kong. This is something you wouldn't believe the rooms are SO small, and we were staying on the executive level of the hotel, can you imagine the size of the other rooms. Well I think i'll continue this post some other time, see ya.

My Hong Kong Vacation 1/5

Two Thursday's ago I skipped school and went on a 5 day vacation to Hong Kong. It was a sunny Thursday morning when I woke up, excited that in just 12 hours I will be in Macau (I stayed one night in Macau before going to Hong Kong). I quickly went to the bathroom to take a shower and get my already packed bag to the front door of the house. Then I suddenly realised that I had to wait for my cousin to get to my house before we went to the airport, besides the flight wasn't for anoter 3 hours. So I sat down in front of my computer and played a few rounds of the computer game "Settlers of Catan" while waiting. One game led to another and it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Then I heard the front door bell ringing, I answered and my cousin was standing there right in front of me. I welcomed him in and informed my mom that he was here. 
After a half an hour we packed up the car and headed to the airport. We were greated by Gerald and Cecilia my other two cousins and their mom, Otilia. ( I know they sound like people from another country but they are actually from Malaysia). We checked our luggage in and we boarded the plane at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The flight was quite monotonous because there was nothing much to do. At around 6 o'clock we landed in Macau, the land famous for its casinos. ( And no, I didn't gamble, who knew that the gambling age was 18?)
We hired a driver and headed for the hotel, the sights on the way to the hotel was breath taking. After seeing the architecture of the buildings there, I have to say that Malaysian architecture is kinda boring.                   The Sands Hotel in Macau
                Sorry for the blurness but the car was moving.

Well its getting late I'll upload more pictures of Macau later, trust me theres a lot more coming and its really, really nice.
