Hong Kong Disneyland

First up Hong Kong drivers...scary.

I wasn't sure we would make it to the hotel in one piece. Lane markings, right of way, merging, safe stopping distances...none of those seem to be in their skill set.

Despite that...made it to the hotel. Not a bad room, near to a major road on Kowloon.

Ate dinner at a local noodle shop …

Spring in Hong Kong is, for me, the perfect season to visit this dynamic city. It's nippy but not freezingly cold, comfortable but not summery hot. Coming from a tropical country, I immediately got a bothersome headache on our first day, but it then went away on the next day as my body slowly got attuned to the weather.

Although we had a …

Hari ini kami pergi ke Disneyland. Naik MTR dari TST > Lai King > Sunny Bay > Disneyland Resort. Tiket masuk Disney beli melalui guest house dan mendapat discount HKD 20 dari tiket kalau beli di tempatnya. Jam 10.00 kami sampai di sana.

Having been to Disneyland in Paris, Florida and California we were really looking forward to experiencing the Asian equivalent. The morning after our trip to Macau we took the MRT to Disneyland. The train that leaves the orange MRT line to go direct to Disneyland on the pink line is a special Disney themed train. The windows are in the shape of …

Hello

Well it is off to Disneyland Hong Kong for the day, we took a shuttle right from our hotel. Our first stop was pictures with Goofy and Pluto, and then, we made our way to Tomorrow Land. Buzz Light Years Astro Blasters was calling our names; we got to help old Buzz save the universe from the evil Emperor Zurg. The object is to shoot …

I had the chance to ride a DragonAir for the first time and service was at par with Cathay Pacific. I had an online check-in and online seat reservation and everything went on smoothly. We left Manila at 9PM which was slightly delayed but the pilot made up and we still arrived 10 minutes before 11PM. Baggage was quicker that I thought as it sprung …

Nothing much on the first day except exploring the town area. Got my data SIM card and hunt for our dinner, end up eating Yoshinoya, their menu very interesting, as compared to Singapore. They sell steamboat too!

We walked around in the city exploring the night life, bought some snacks, explore a few shopping malls …

Hi,

Today we woke up at around 8 AM to go to the Hong Kong Disneyland. We took the shuttle to the park, a 45 minute drive from our hotel. When we got there, we went into the park. We were hoping it wouldn't be very busy considering it’s the middle of winter and it wasn’t a nice day out, but of course, since it’s a Disney …

Ahh, why did I say so? I was also not sure until I did a research where most foreigners nearby like Japan, Korea and even China would come here just to shop. High end brands with quality products and lower price, rated it as the best place to shop until you drop!

Let's take Ladies Market for example, all brands are sold here. You don’ …

So i finally arrived in Hong Kong after a 21 hour trip from Perth. Now when you get into the airport you realise how massive it is, it takes over an hour to get your bags and get through customs and through the airport. So eventually i find my way out of the airport after grabbing every map i could in a paranoid frenzy, so that i could try and work …
