Entry #2

Today I will be talking about the eventful vacation (Sort of an itinerary) I had during the school holidays.

This time I head off to Macau ,Hong Kong and Zhuhai in the People's Republic of China

DAY 1
As soon as we got out of the plane, the cold and at the same time soothing evening air struck my face. On first impressions Macau seemed like a really decent place but I was proven wrong later. We checked in our luxurious hotel for a quick rest before heading off into the night.
That was when the nightmare started... all we wanted was a simple hassle-free eatery to dine at. But ,alas, we were utterly disappointed. After about 45 minutes of aimless walking, we finally settled at a noodle house, cosily tucked into the corner.



DAY 2
This was so much better than the 1st. Loads of sight-seeing to do !" Yay "! We explored some of Macau's famous tourist attractions including Senado Sqaure and Gaia Hill. Also, we got hopelessly lost that day. We were apparently searching for a flea market ( My mother enjoys shopping and I hate shopping ) when the taxi driver misinterpreted us and brought us to a whole different place.


DAY 3
This was undoubtedly the most boring day of the Holiday. We headed to Zhuhai, a little city separating Mainland China from Macau. My mom and sister was full of life, eagerly awaiting to the start their retail rampage. However, my Dad and I , being males with no enthusiasm, literally spent the entire day sitting down at coffee shops and food joints. My mom and sister proceeded to shop till 5. making it a magnificent grand total of 6 hours of retail therapy. How fantastic ! Imagine the plight I was in.

DAY 4
Hong Kong incoming ! We got to experience the exhilarating ferry ride to Kowloon early in the morning. The sad truth was that this day wasn't much different form the previous. We spent the day at the scenic Stanley Market and the night at Mongkok's world famous Ladies Market. Either ways, I think Hong Kong's a little too congested , It is really hard to move around. The street signs are really confusing as well.


DAY 5
Home sweet home. Yes ! I thought to myself. Finally. Back to classic civilised Singapore. We woke up reasonably late and after a sumptuous buffet lunch , headed to the airport and flew back over to the Little Red Dot.

peacexz yaw!
