Hong Kong-Macau Trip Sept. 24-26, 2010

This was my first time to go to Hong Kong and Macau. It is also the first time I'm boarding the Hong Kong Express plane. The trip was for me and ate Mel only. Too bad we didn't get to travel with others. 

Our officemates were somewhat hesitant for us to go because it's only after a month where tourists from Hong Kong were hostaged here in Luneta in the Philippines for their tour. They say that they might bully us there for being Filipinos travelling to their country. But all was normal there and they were all very kind, polite and friendly to us.

I really enjoyed our stay there although it was only a short trip. I hope to come back there and do more shopping and visit other places I've no time to go. I didn't get to do so much shopping as our schedule is really jam-packed for sightseeing only and see many tourist attractions as much as possible because our 3-day stay is divided between Hong Kong and Macau.

I hope to go back there again hopefully with my aunt, cousin and niece and I will be their tour guide once we get there because I'm the only one who's been there.
