hk/macau

my hongkong and macau trip was amazing. it's like all my senses were heightened. i knew that this would be the last family trip i would be having with my family for a very long time so i tried to soak in and make the most out of the experience.

i don't want to start writing about the whole trip. so much to say, don't know where to begin. i think i'll just let the pictures speak for themselves. i'll be uploading pics on my multiply soon. we camwhored to death so basically everything is captured on digicam.

i would definitely miss hongkong. until a few years ago when my mom "discovered" bangkok and its cheaper shopping experience, never has a year passed when we haven't gone to the place at least once. i still have one more bangkok trip in december so i don't have to miss it until then.

as for hongkong, i've counted down the top 10 things i'll miss:

10. the ferry

9. park lane and kimberley hotel

8. walking through the busy, busy streets

7. and chinese pop songs everywhere you go

6. its uber-fashionable denizens

5. authentic ajisen ramen with lots and lots of garlic

4. the easy-access subways

3. yaya cory (my yaya--the twin of our other current yaya--who took care of us when we were kids but became an ofw in hongkong. we never fail to contact her to come visit us when we're there. unfortunately, she just changed bosses and we haven't heard from her yet.)

2. the SHOPPING! or more specifically, granville road in tsim sha tsui

and the number one reason why i know i'll be coming back for more:

1. the BESTEST BEST ice cream in the whole wide world! my absolute favorite combination: lychee, coconut and chocolate balls.
