Hong Kong Trip

The amazing sunset we managed to catch at the airport
We were both so excited!
Selfies at the airport before checking in

So we took Singapore Airlines cause we both refused to settle for budget air. So thankful cause at least the food is always good and also there are movies to watch! We arrived in Hongkong a few minutes to 12, our flight timing sucked cause we booked it quite late & there weren't much options! Arrived at the hotel only around 1, & everything went smoothly. No traffic no nothing.

First decent picture taken on day 1
our train tickets! All day pass, which was great cause the queues to buy the tickets were ridiculously long & the train station is usually very crowded, so the passes saved us alot of hassle!

When we arrived at Mongkok, we got lost! HAHA, we walked so many rounds but i couldn't get to the place i wanted to bring him to. In the end, we finally managed to find somewhere decent to have breakfast, it wasn't that great but we were so desperate for food cause we couldn't find anything else open!
Of course, when you're in Hongkong, you have to eat the road side food.
Forever looking at the camera button instead of the camera lens :/
Babe kept stopping at food places cause he was so fascinated & wanted to try everything!
We headed back to the hotel after a while because this asshole felt really tired & he had to take a nap. He needs 12 hours of sleep a day to function normally.

Probably babe's fav restaurant to eat at during our trip! He had a usual routine to buy beard papa everyday too!
Got bored while that pig slept.
Visited Agnes b cafe cause it brings back alot of sweet memories
Ice cream from this super cute ice cream truck
Took a picture of this because babe wanted KFC for dinner, cause he just had to try the lemon chicken. He also called for mcdelivery the next night. My gosh, somethings never change. Even in Hongkong!
Overly excited because his food came
We stayed at The mira hotel. I swear, The mira hotel is great. The place is clean, high tech, the staff are friendly & it was a great experience. Plus, they provided a smart phone device for their guest to use w/ free unlimited international calls and also free data! So what we did was bring about the phone & connect our own phones to the hotel's phone's personal hotspot! So we saved money on buying sim cards in hongkong. All hotels should provide this man.

Basically as mentioned above, we arrived at Changi Airport around 6. We were nearly late for our flight cause babe wanted to get a light snack before boarding the plane. We only arrived at Hong Kong around 12 and took a cab to the hotel. It was great because there weren't any taxi queue or traffic on the road so the journey to Mira hotel was smooth & pleasant. After settling down, we went out to explore the food areas near our hotel & had supper. Ohya, we took alot of videos as well but unfortunately i haven't had the time to compile them! We walked around for quite a bit before heading back to the hotel!

The next day, we woke up early & headed out to the train station, tsim sha tsui. It was so close to our hotel & it was so convenient because we took quite a lot of train. We also bought the tourist day pass which entitles you to unlimited train rides & it also saved us a lot of trouble from having to queue up to get train tickets. We got lost cause a lot of places weren't open yet so it was quite hard for us to recognize the roads, everything looks different in the morning & at night! After walking around for ages, we finally managed to have brunch at this restaurant. Went to a mall in Hong Kong which i went previously w/ my mum before, had to go back there because the shopping there is great! & babe promised me we could go because i was upset that i couldn't find my fur cardigan in Singapore. Thanks love <3 After that we went back to the hotel because babe needed to rest & after we headed back out to ocean terminal! Before that we explored Mira mall, which is a mall by the hotel. There are lots of shops & food outlets & babe fell in love w/ this curry food place & he bought beard papa almost everyday. We had lunner at the curry restaurant & beard papa before heading off! Walked down from our hotel to ocean terminal & we got to take alot of videos & pictures. We had coffee & tea there & ice cream before heading back to the hotel where babe called for KFC delivery!

-The end for Night 1, Day1-
