A Trip To Remember : HKG 23 Feb 2014 Day 1 Part 2

The very first thing that we search for were local sim pack after clearing the immigration & picking up our luggage. Kedai 1010 located at Level 7 HKIA. From the arrival floor, take a lift up to departure floor. Bear in mind HKIA is really huge so ask the people around. especially the information counter for directions or you'll be wasting your time searching the whole floor. It costs me HKD100 and HKD88 for Daddy, depends on what type of phone you are using.

The second one was Octopus Card. Bought it at level 7 Arrival Hall. The counter is outside the airport so from arrival just go straight outside until you see the counter in the next building. HKD150 for each. Hassle free having this. Just swap the card when using MTR, buses and trams. Easy, convenient. HKD50 is deposit and they will return it back to you when you return the card back.

After getting the Octopus Card, get out from the building, turn left and just go straight for the bus to Tsim Tsa Shui. Our bus was no. A21. Fare HKD33. The queue waiting for the bus to TST. Everyone in HK have this really good attitude and discipline. Different from us in Malaysia. They queue in the line for every public transport. No such thing us berebut-rebut & main redah jer. Am not sure berapa celcius at this hour, 2 p.m. that is. The sun shines bright but the weather was cold like in Genting Highlands. Everyone was wearing sweater and jacket while me was still blur, sejuk sangat ker? Biasa jer, takde la sejuk sangat pun. Sejuk manja2 gitu jer ^_^ I was feeling hot in the airport while others were with their thick clothes. Just wearing my shirt through the journey to our hotel in TST.

The bus. All the bus in HK are double decker I guess. Never seen the regular bus a week spent in HK. It took us almost one hour to reach the hotel.

Convenient. Even ada tempat letak luggage on the bus. Not to worry much on where to stop. There's some sort of sign/dashboard and even tv displaying the next stop and it's in Chinese and also English.

Among the view all the way to Tsim Tsa Tsui. Breathtaking! So many tall buildings and so padat kalah Malaysia.

Our Hotel was California Hotel in Golden Crown Court so we stopped at pitstop No. 13. From the bus stop, just walk straight until you find Standard Chartered Bank. California Hotel is just beside the bank at Level 4. They got 2 lifts to different levels. Lift to California Hotel is on the right.
