Our best time in HongKong

Fabolous Hong Kong!, we came here for honeymoon, yet we have chosen these destination, it was such a popular out of the country destination of most travelers in Philippines that time, maybe because a neighbor country as well interesting for shopping and nightlifes, so I was so curious to visit this 'HongKong'.

Our stay here was only 4 days and that was so tiring! walk here and there, take the underground train, bus going to Lantau island where the giant copper statue is located, at night to the "night market" going around to find a good and cheap restaurant to dine in then a little walk again and back to the hotel, that was our 4 days Hong Kong.

Pros and Cons

Pros:good shopping and nightlife
Cons:Kowloon, crowded place
In a nutshell:I need lots of money to shop here!

Last visit to Hong Kong: May 1998

Nice place for a honeymoon, I know the feeling of walking, subway, … but the trip to Lantau Island it worth it. An American Breakfast in McDonalds, what a lousy deal from your travel-agent. Great page and beautiful photos, it brings back great memories.
