Wooo the worse trip of my life sadly
Hong KOng was NOT what i expected it to be
Either I dint pay enough attention to those Hongkie dramas or Jackie Chan really brainwashed me with all those visit HK campaigns ;p
10 reasons why i will never wana live in HK
1) Most importantly-- although their currency is weaker then Singapore's-- their standard of living is higher... everything except booze and dim sum is expensive ;p
2) On the same line .. their shoes are freaking expensive !! S$50 a pair on avg, on sale !!! WTF !!!..Charles and Keith seems heaven-sent in comparison. ~No self-respecting gal can survive without a huge variety of afforadable shoes ...
3) the air is thick and smoggy and hot ... walking out in the streets even breathing is a chore.. and when its not sultry hot... it pouring wet
4) your view is limited to as far as the next building -- or if you are short like me.. the next guy in front of you... castrophobia alert !!!
If you think walking along the takasimaya/ wisma linkway on a saturday evening is a nightmare, u havent walked along the streets of hk on a normal weekday .. it seems like the whole population of hk is out in the streets which is weird considering that if given a choice i would rather be hiding in the santuary of my air-conditioned hotel room.
And there seem to be some competition going on in the area planning commmittee-- "lets see who can cramp as many buildings in a streets as possible" -- no space is too small to be left alone.. god ... i was soo happy when i travelled inland into shenzhen... finally i see rolling hills and wide open spaces.. the sky !!! i never realised how much space, nature, clean air is so important to me. Maybe thats why i enjoy treking.. answering my own call of nature ;p
5) A fashion capital .. HK is NOT
1 word.. weird!! Yes.. they have alot of yummy foreign brands like missy sixty ... Yes ...they have alot of nice skinny gals .. soo why are they all hiding thier lithe bodies under many many layers of clothes with crazy colour coordination ... i get a headache just walking into some of their stores... ~*oww too ..many colours.. my eyes ..cant take it *
6) the customs is slower then Malaysia's.... u would have thought that Aisan.. Chinese people can tell other asians apart easier... pui ! The custom officer was staring at our photographs like we are usuing fake passports ... as if everybody is dying to stay in HK or China for that matter .. robin got it worse... just because his passport pic showed him with LONG hair... and now he has SHORT hair ... DUH!...
7) ... errr... ahh well.... i guess i was miserably sick too... thus making hk seem terribly horrible ~ whatever that means
Anywaz.... i am happy to be back
Singapore is not perfect... but for now its home
and its home sweet home for me .. :)
