First Day in Hongkong

Friday, 3 OCt 08, 12.15pm at MacDonnell Room

Hi Diary,
Finally I've arrived Hongkong last night. This is the first picture that we took in HK on the express train from airport to Hongkong city area. I'm now in my serviced apartment, browsing the Internet, trying to find out the bus route or MTR (train) route or whatever transportation for me to get out of this hotel. It's not an easy job, you know! I don't know the area here, I don't have a map, I don't know their nyap-yit-ngo-language. My hubby got his working visa issued few days ago, I also got my dependent visa issued too. So, today we'll need to go to Macau to get our visa activated. You know, we have to get out of this country and get in again. Haiz.. Let me continue my browsing again, diary.. I need to find out how to get to the Ferry Terminal to go to Macau today. Hopefully we won't get lost at nowhere later. By the way, I don't even know where Macau is. Is it part of China? Or Mongolia? Or Jengis Khan? Hiks.. I'm scared. I go where the wind blows. Anyway, you can actually see our scared-confused-faces from the above picture, rite?

Ola Fenny,

I wanted to help you out a little with regard to your visa activation. Can you go somewhere else other than Macau because Shen Zhen is the closest to Hong Kong. We could actually ride an express train from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen in about 1 hour. The best thing is you could shop until you drop over there in Shen Zhen.

HongKong is part of China, isn't it? So, going to ShenZhen still in the same country, rite? Well, I'm not really so sure about that though.. Anyway, Macau isn't that bad too.. I think it's quite beautiful,especially at nite :p I'm not talking about the casino loh.. but the old buildings there..

Well.. the thing is Macau is now part of China too. Portuguese has just returned Macau to China a couple of years ago (year 2000+).

But, Hong Kong is actually still a special administrative region of China. So, even when we go from Hong Kong to Shen Zhen, they still do passport checking and stamp our passport.

Oh udah banyak komen hihihi..

@Emi: thanks for your suggestion, kalo ke Shenzhen butuh visa china jadi males ngurusnya, mendingan Macau aja tanpa visa :)

Hi!
Gak ketemu yah waktu di Singapore. Well, I know the anxiety of being in a foreign land. Just enjoy the process yah. At least you have your husband as company. It is not that bad. Have fun there.
