Preparation ~ Hong Kong & Macau (19 - 22 October 2012) ~ Birthday Liz..!

Hong Kong merupakan tempat yg selalu jadi pilihan terutama sekali kepada orang perempuan. Sbb kate mereka tempat ni shopping heaven. Tak de lain la.. shopping..shopping..shopping.. Tapi aku kurang berminat nak shopping. Sbb bagi aku bende2 yg ada di Hong Kong, semuanya kita bleh dapat di Malaysia. Cume mungkin di Hong Kong barang nye lagi menarik, murah dll. Apa yang menarik minat aku dan Zul utk menjelajah Hong Kong adalah apabila melawat Hong Kong, kite boleh melawat 3 buah negara. Hong Kong, Chine (Shenzhen) dan Macau. Walaupun aku pernah menjejakkan kaki ke Beijing, China tapi budaya & persekitaran di Hong Kong agak berbeza. Selain "one country two systems"nya, di Hong Kong mereka fasih berbahasa inggeris. Aku mmg sangat2 bermasalah untuk berkomunikasi di Beijing. Nasib baik aku pakai tour guide. Tapi aku harap aku boleh survive di Hong Kong..huhuhu.

Tambahan pulak kos kehidupan di Hong Kong ni tersangatlah mahal. Hotel yang biasa2 ala2 Seri Malaysia pun dalam harge RM300-400. Nak dapat hotel dalam RM 100-200, tido hostel / mansions la..yang paling famous sekali Chungking Mansions. Banyak jugak aku baca di blog-blog, orang2 Malaysia especially single ladies, mula2 menginap di mansions. Pastu tak boleh blah.. terus check in hotel lain. Biar mahal skit xpe katenye. Kebanyakan tak berapa selesa sbb tempat yg kotor, ramai orang kulit hitam dan bilik terlalu kecik. Tu yg aku book awal2, rebut hotel yg ok tapi harge murah skit. Rata2 hotel biasa boleh menjangkau harga antara RM500-800. Adoi...Aku tak nak amik risiko.. kang husband aku plak yg mengamuk..huhu. So aku book lah pakai Agoda awal2. Setakat arini, 24/9/2012 aku check bilik aku dah sampai harga RM623.00! Padahal standard double room je tuh..huhu. Di Macau pn boleh tahan jugak kos dia.. last2 aku decide, alang2 hotel biasa pn harga mahal, baik aku tido hotel mahal terus. Harge pn tak banyak beza. Tapi dengan syarat book awal / ikut tarikh promo.
