Lets get lost - Hongkong/Shenzhen Day 1

We were so desperate to get on th morning flight but we couldnt at all. Dammit. While discussing with Z about our plans in th morning about 10+am... I randomly tried on th new website for ___ and rejoice! It worked! Very soon, we were booking ourselves th afternoon hongkong flight. I couldnt wait and went to th airport super duper early to retrieve my luggage at T2 before we set off to try our luck at th counter.

Every minute in th queue made us want to wet our pants. So nerve wrecking! What if we cant go up at all? Or what if only one can go up? Or what if.... just to sum up = too many worries. But th moment th lady printed th ticket for us.. OMGGG I could feel th relief, th burden all lifted up from my shoulder. I suddenly felt so light I could FLY.

I never felt this high before. I was overzealous. AHHH. I want to scream for joy!!! :)

We quickly went in... not th usual route to th transit area.. and z bought th cigarettes so quickly, th moment we stepped in transit. Crazy smoker. Well on th other hand, I indulge on a plate of shrimp noodle that tasted quite bad, im never gonna eat that again.

Th journey around th airport is tedious. We had to take countless of travellators, escaltors, skytrain.. than walk this tunnel and that.. tsk!

We even got lost trying to find th bus interchange.. but we finally found it...

Taking th citybus express A21 to mongkok...

We are such sotongs.. going to a country without doing any research... see, now we alighted 3 stops away from th orignal stop we were supposed to stop. And man, that original stop is like what, 10km away?

We literally had to lug our luggage around th streets of hongkong to find that bus stop.

Like we missed our bus stop was not bad enough, we couldnt find our hostel and walked round and round like some nomads. Its kinda like those travel documentaries : lets get lost! hahaha.

Oh... when we found our hostel, thank god (without th help of any locals because no one knew where th hell is th place), we went to th wrong storey(8th floor) and had to go down to ground level to take th lift up again to 14th floor where th reception was because th lift does not go up at any level, only from ground floor. Seems quite bad right ! Still not done yet!

After we checked in.. while th lady went to get towels for us, we missed th lift and had to go down 2 storeys to our room which was like a maze, turn in here, then there and another here and there. WITH OUR LUGGAGE. This is probably th equivalent of a marathon or worse.

Th room is so plain to display here but we threw our stuffs and head out to th streets.

First stop: Getting milk tea. Its a must in hongkong... I got th yam milktea. So much nicer than singapore and th pearl is never ending. Like suck also cannot suck finish.

After our failed shopping at ladies street where we didnt managed to get anything except food, we moved on to macs.. tsk.. who goes overseas to eat fastfood right? Only this retard lo..HAHA!

But as I was people watching.. I noticed everyone has really good dress sense. I felt so underdressed for hongkong. Th youngster can really dress, and I mean it. I dont even see anyone with flipflops or simple tee and shorts. Th people actually made th effort to dress up.. no wonder th girls all look so good.

And while we were snacking on macs... I realised.. its past 1am and there's still so much people in macs... th nightlife here is really damn good too..

We head back for some well deserved rest... and this sign is so hilarious.. no spitting here?!! Like what?!!

Bought only food... tmr, th officially shopping spree begins.. now some rest first...
