| It was more than just a business suit affair |
A few weeks back, I posted the image below in my Facebook account with a caption that says... "COMING SOON...". I thought I was trying to foreshadow to all of my friends about something, when in fact I was just expressing my overwhleming excitement over the fact that...
I WAS LEAVING FOR HONG KONG!
 |
| And so I scouted for business suit shops in the Metro |
So basically, this entry is going to be a walkthrough of my first ever trip abroad. Yeap, it was my first ever. And actually, it's another entry crossed out from my
laundry list.
Okay I'll stop blabbering now, hope you enjoy viewing the images.
THE AIRPORT
 |
| Spot the difference - actually, I was on the same seat, however, L pic was taken in PH while R pic was taken in HK |
 |
| Aboard the Cathay Pacific - largest plane I've ever been in |
 |
| the free meal - my boss was right, it was no full meal, albeit I liked the unlimited drinks |
 |
| Entertainment on board; I was watching 30 Rock episodes during the trip (Like!) |
 |
| The visual aid was in 3D - image was showing us our landing in HK |
 |
| First breath of fresh air - reminds me so much of the first time I set my foot on Metro Manila |
 |
| The vessel |
 |
| Walkalators to speed people up - I tell you, the airport is soooo huge that you would need these so you could reach your luggage faster |
 |
| All signs in HK are in Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) and English |
 |
| I felt like I was in a movie or something |
 |
| And of course, you would need to ride a train just to reach the Immigration |
 |
| Lots of shops inside the airport |
 |
| there was even a spa there (leftmost) |
 |
| queueing for the Immigration clearance |
 |
| Luggage carefully lined up on the conveyor |
 |
| Haggardo Versoza? Not quite |
 |
| Me on a shuttle heading to the hotel |
THE TRIP TO THE HOTEL
 |
| First sight of a taxi cab |
 |
| Leaving the man-made island where the airport is located; I believe we're heading to Lantau Island |
 |
| A lot of greens still |
 |
| Amazing fact: Only red cabs drive towards the airport, while green ones drive away from the airport. Nah, that's a bluff |
 |
| they have much more sophisticated highways than Manila; what would I expect, right? |
 |
| We're heading to Kowloon Island, I think |
 |
| another movie scene |
 |
| look how packed those condominiums are; just a proof of how dense HK is |
 |
| going through a tunnel |
 |
| tunnel exit; Hello Kowloon! |
 |
| woah! |
 |
| signages in chekwa; I'm in China indeed |
 |
| perhaps a vestige of British colonialism - double-decker buses |
 |
| just like downtown Manila, except they're all Chinese |
 |
| McDonald's |
 |
| buildings |
 |
| more buildings |
 |
| brick buildings |
 |
| another building... hey, that's my hotel! oh yeah, I'm here! |
 |
| nice room - and it has a work station. sweet =) |
 |
| the sink |
 |
| the tub and the throne |
 |
| wide flat screen TV |
 |
| cozy cozy bed |
 |
| the mini-bar - full of goodies |
And of course...
 |
| the almost perfect view of the harbor =) |
Nice, eh?! I'm not quite done yet. Just wait for my next entry.
