Wrap up on my HK trip!

Here's the wrap up on my HK trip, will go straight to the point then.

We had our own free and easy days after the Disneyland trip on the 3rd day. We went to almost all the theme markets available in the Kowloon Peninsula area which is also where our hotel was located. We been staying at the Majestic hotel, rated at 4-stars and was located near the Jordan MTR (Same as our MRT but in HK, they call it MTR instead of MRT). Just a 5 mins walk from our hotel, we will reach the 1st theme market - Temple Street night market which resemble very much like our local pasar malam here. But, a pity that they do not have those kiddy rides while you can see lots of the adult "TOYS" which are not suitable for kids! What are those then? You would have to ask Mummy and Daddy...me too young to understand!

Just one stop away from Jordan MTR, you will reach Mongkok station where you get to shop at the popular Ladies Market, Sports good, Electronic goods, Gold Fish market and Flower market. These markets are in the street after street while each street alone covers hundreds of small and big shops...you can easily spend a whole day here shopping till you drop! I'm not kidding you and I'm lucky that my parents don't shop that way!

Well, the last 3 days in HK was to shop, shop and shop but we don't eat, eat and eat like others do...haha...we eat only when we are tired while shopping or during meal time. Actually most of the time, it's just plain window shopping at our leisure.

We passed by a pet shop one of the 3 days and that's when we all started to miss our dear Ozzy the Chihuahua! Wonder how he is doing at Ah Gong's place. There was this little Chihuahua in one of the cage and its size is just like Ozzy! So adorable that I wanted to go in and give it a pat but...no way unless you are going to buy it home. Anyway, I've chosen 2 packets of "treaty treaty" (my way of saying Ozzy's treat) for Ozzy! He's sure to like me more!
This pic was taken when we landed near the Western market which was a shopping complex by itself. You might find the name very attractive but when you reach there, it was so much apart from its name...you don't see much western related shops but from one look, you saw all very Chinese like goods - those Chinese like textile, embroidery, Chinese calligraphy and so on.
The only store that caught our eyes was this shop that sells all BUS related products. Even the interior has the yellow pole and hanger just like a real bus! I was so excited and I bought a mini red double decker bus for myself! If only "they" don't rush me, I should be in the store longer and get more buses back home!

Wait, don't get it wrong that this statue is part of the shop! It's not ok, it's just a statue about a few feet away! Haha...
Then I tried to call someone home but realized that I don't even have a single cent with me!
The best thing here was the TRAM! It was so colorful and I thought it was a train in the first place as it was strapped to a wire on its top! Then I kept pestering Mummy and Daddy to take one of them for a ride and my wish was granted! So great!
The last nite in HK was one of the best nites ever too as we went up to the Victoria Peak! You would definitely regret it if you don't drop by here after you leave HK! There are many ways that you can reach the peak - by taxi, bus, walk or my favorite - the PEAK TRAM! Getting there is an unforgettable trip. There's nothing in the world like the Peak Tram. Pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 metres (about 1,200 feet). It's so steep that the buildings you pass look like they're leaning at a 45°angle! Whether you're going up or coming down, you'll love this trip. It is worth the half hour queue to go on board the peak tram!

These houses belong to the rich people who can fork out millions and millions of HK dollars! Daddy took this pic when we were at the peak and it meant those rich people live at the peak too! What a luxury life they are enjoying here man!
Well, no money to stay at the peak but at least, I can take back some good memories of the peak through photos.
More photos...
...and more! All from different angles.
What a magnificence view from the peak!
See the difference between the day and nite! Nite is so beautiful but as Daddy didn't bring along a tripod this trip, not many good nite shots were taken.

We had a hearty meal at the peak too at this Bubba Gump whose name actually comes from the famous Forest Gump movie! It was a western seafood restaurant which serves Mummy's favorite Shrimps as their main core dish! They sell toys and accessories related to the restaurant name as well next door.

Well, the view here is as good as the peak viewing place while you can admire it at your own leisure without "fighting" a good spot with many others! Do drop by The Peak for more details.

As that day was a Saturday while there were many tourists heading the peak same like us by the peak tram, we couldn't go downhill by the peak tram and so we took a cab instead! I can only remember that the cab go round and round till we reached the Star Ferry station downhill.

Then we took a ferry across the sea to reach Kowloon Peninsula and back to our hotel. It was such a fun-filled day where we tried all the different mode of transport available in HK!
Soon...it was home sweet home and here's my procession from the HK trip! Not much huh...should have bought more toys from Ocean Park, Disneyland, Victoria Peak and...

Really hope to visit HK again in the near future so that I can visit their Zoo, Botanical Garden, Central Library... (Hee hee)
