Bought HK back!

Hong Kong is indeed a lively place! There is no way this little island can match Hong Kong's vibrancy except for safety. Though we are similar, yet we are far apart. I simply love the shopping and sipping a cup of coffee at The Peak. I mean we cant have such luxury here at home. Shop closes early and everyone is force to go home or movies or club. The city brighten up at nite which is something we strongly lack.

In HK, there are plenty of shops for you to walk even till midnite. Well, not only there, there are so many beautiful places for you to have supper. Unlike here, Macdonalds? Newton Hawker Centre? Chomp Chomp? Boring! I can have buffet or even steamboat at the middle of the nite! I guess if we have better nite life, i would have given up clubbing totally. I am a nite person, the nite life in HK never fails to amaze me.

This time, i headed to Tai O, a fishing village, which i din go during my last visit to HK in 2005. Shiok. The rural life is peaceful, the place is surrounded by beautiful mountains and nice sea view. I strolled along the quiet river as well as walking thru the stilt houses. Wonderful experience. I took the cable car up to Big Buddha in Ngong Ping. Equally impressive. This time, it was very misty and i have the feeling of being in paradise. hahha..

I was also in Macau too. The casinos are indeed grand. Venetian is a place worth visiting. However, it is not located along the main casino strip. It is way off in another place in Cotai. Most of the casinos are in Macau penisular. The oldest and local casinos are all there, with a few foreign casinos like MGM and Wynn. I am impressed with Wynn. It is exactly like the one that i saw in Las Vegas.

As for Venetian, it is somehow similar to the one i saw in Las Vegas too. It's a gigantic and majestic building. Since it is theme Venetian, i do agree it look like the original one in Venice. hahha.. I realise i have been there too! whahhaha.. Well, the best one is still the original version in Venice. I love Venice minus the crowd. hahhaa... The interior of Venetian is magnificent too. It is more like an integrated resort. There are restaurants, boutique and hotel rooms. Damn nice la. I wonder how will ours look like when it is completed in 2009.

I bought a lot this time. Really. 6 tops, 2 pairs of shoes and a bag. Ha! I guess it should be one of the largest shopping spree i ever had. Quite fun for all the retail therapy. Feel recharge after all the shopping, eating and walking ard. I love HK and will visit there again probably in the near future!!
