My HK Trip - Day 2

Day 2 started as early as 6:00am coz we are going to Ocean Park to beat the crowd

Took MTR to Central and change to Bus 603. Oh ya rem to buy the tix at Central Ocean Park Office at the subway, its cheaper

on bus 603....busy road... everyone going to work, losers... I'm on holiday! Whahaha


We did beat the crowd coz, the gates were still closed!

Group pix...


since we were 1/2hr early, I took pix of the surrounding....




The gates finally opened and we were greeted by the Ocean Park Mascot


proceed over to the adult park via cable car...


visited the various attraction in the park like....Shark Land



marine land


Garden Eel


Sea Dragon


Jellyfish


Starfish, did u fight with your mates???


Stingray, can I have this BBQ with lots of chilli???


We also went to the Adventure Land and I tried all this.... I is excitedness!

Chey!Not scary one lah!

Spending almost 4 1/2 hrs there we left the park for Stanly Market and Repulse Bay.

Stanley is one of Hong Kong's most popular destinations, an exciting and low-cost shopping centre and a place of considerable historical interest. Seven days a week the open market around Stanley New Street and Stanley Market Road throbs with the passing parade of life as bargain-hunters from all over the world gathers here.

We also visited the Tin Hau Temple. Chinese legend says Tin Hau, the daughter of a fisherman in China's Fujian Province, had visions that enabled her to predict storms. On one occasion she saved her father's boat from a fearsome tempest and other stories have emerged about Tin Hau saving people from drowning. Today, fishermen regard her as their patron saint.

Apparently, during the World War 2, villagers seek refuge in the temple, a bomb was drop outside the temple, and it didn't went off....

We head to the terminal to take a minibus down to Repulse bay. Saw a fire engine truck, the fire fighters very leng zai I like!!! Wave and smile at me....

Repulse bay - HK most popular beach, but compare to our East Coast Park, so not exciting...We heard the 姻缘石 & Fortune God quite ling

How can I let chances slip me by?


True enough, on our way back to take the bus, lifeguards smile at me...keekee....

Next up to Ladies Market, but before we make the killing for shopping, we have to charge battery at a road side stall.

We settled with Wanton Mee, the HK style. Which is a chunck of noodle, 7 mega huge wanton and a generous spread of spring onions!

I notice 1 thing abt HK, its very difficult to find a washroom. And shopowners there, they don't allow borrowing of toilet.

*wave hands* tourist here?! get it?!

Surprisingly I didn't get anything from the Ladies Market.
Not my style.
Its like every single deal u have to bargain. U ask for more bargain, kena scolding, ask for less, they take u as a sucker...
And so I decided not to buy anything.
Anyway I didn't loose out much, most of the stall carries similar stuff.

so much for Day 2....
