English/2014 Hong Kong

The trip in Hong Kong within day.

 

 

 

 

 Someday, there were several calls and a SMS to me.

 The flight time was suppose to arrive in Ho Chi Minh(so called HCM) but postponed to the midnight.

 I searched through the call but there wasn't more early flight.

 The consultant asked me whether delaying the departure time. but it's also a fun for me to go on a trip in the another nation. therefore, I've never been in Hong Kong(in short HK).

 So, I was to be willing to stay in also HK.

 What a cool man I am!! lol

 

 

 Before a day of the departure, I got off at work at 10:00 PM.

 But, unusually, I wasn't sleepy on the time.

 To board the plane in a timely manner, I had to get up at 5:00 AM despite of latest.

 So, I was up all night.

 As the schedule, I could arrive at the airport at the right time.

 After looking around the airport in groggy, I checked at the departure line and then boarded the flight 'Cathay Pacific'.

 During departure, I talked with the Taiwanese business man, when approached altitude about 10,000 m, I was fallen in sleep.

 I seem not to appreciated to see the outside of the plane.

 

 

 When I was awaked, I arrived in HK.

 So my baggage was to be sent to HCM directly, I felt free first ever when I go out to downtown.

 As arrived in HK, I took the air express to Kaolong station.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Octopus card for transports in HK

 

 

 When going on a trip, it's essential to show the money.

 

 

 

  

 When got off at the station, there were clean and big shopping malls.

 To get to Tsim Sha Tsui on foot, I was out of the shopping mall but it was steamy like the sauna. It was worse than Korean steamy.

 I was gonna be a dried fish in the hot weather.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So, I was to have a lunch at first.

 Going into the station, I was gonna be alive.

 

 

 After finishing the lunch, I was looking for the Austin station to go to the Tsim Sha Tsui station.

 Fortunately, there were signs every the road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Then I went to TST station by subway.

 When I was in outside once more, the steam from hell was welcoming me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 With the citymap from Kaolong, I was looking for the clock tower.

 God damn! I got lost my way again!

 When is the wrong sense disappeared from me? :(

 I got already wet on my whole body, damn!

 Finally, I found the tower!

 Beside the tower, there was a dock of the Starferry.

 The tower was European style, and released antique air at the TST.

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As went straight along the way, I got to the Avenue of Stars.

 There were statues of famous actors.(Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and so on.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After looking around the avenue of Stars, then I relieved my thirst, and then boadrded the ferry.

 The fare from Kaolong to HK island was surprisingly cheap.

 Zah, here I go to HK island!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So that I return to the airport by 8:00 PM despite of latest, I was to tour only Victoria Peak.

 It was still hot and steamy.

 Without the air conditioner, I seemed not to be able to bear the civil heat.

 

 

 At the enterance, there were many waiting people.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 In about a half of hour, I could take the train.

 The train climbed up the steep road, carrying many people.

 It was like taking the mountain train to Jungfraujoch.

 

 

 At the Victoria Peak, there were diverse shopping malls and restaurants.

 At some shops, it sounded the K-pop songs.

 And in places, I could see the advertisements appeared the Korean actor Kim Soohyun.

 I guess the Corenism storm is hot in also HK. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I ate fastfood as a dinner then looked around shopping center, and then moved to the viewspot.

 Bitterly, the sunset was not appeared yet. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Seen HK at the Victoria Peak looked desolate because of many skyscrapers.

 But the sky with sunset looked beautiful a but.

 I think the some affection of the sea.

 Getting darker and darker, I took and took pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Getting darker, the lights were getting on, and desolated HK changed beautiful by the lights of skyscrapers.

 I felt like appreciating the night view, sipping wine or vodka mixed with coffee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When the sun was completely disappeared, the night scene showed peak of beautifulness.

 But I couldn't keep appreciating in the night view.

 The flight time was coming closely.

 I hurried up and got ready to return the airport.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 At even exit, many people were lining up.

 Damn! that's bad timing!

 I would seem to miss my flight in the situation.

 

 

 Barely I got on the down train.

 There was full of people in the train in short time.

 But I couldn't be released.

 

 

 Fortunately, the bus toward dock of Starferry stopped by HK station.

 And when I got on the air express, it was margin extra of an hour by the departure time.

 So I used the express round trip within day, the round trip fare became one way fare.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As I arrived at the airport, I returned the octopus card and got back the deposit.

 So, my trip within day in HK got fine.

 After selecting a gift for Duy at the duty free, I boarded the plane to HCM.

 

 

 Review

 Wholly, I think HK is like Tokyo.

 There was no attraction in daytime in HK.

 Therefore it was badly hot because that time was begin of June.

 But HK was so brilliant and twinkle in the night.

 Indeed, the night views of HK were that seeing is believing literaturally.

 

 I think you'd better do shopping, taste, receive the massage, and take a nap in the inside in daytime.

 And you'd better go circle around outside in the cool night.
