30 Sept - 6 Oct @ Hong Kong Macau

Hi all, back to Malaysia... but first few days really feel like I'm still in Hong Kong :-), think I love to stay there already. The trip is good, although not much planning and preparation except some books, luckily all the books that I bought are really useful.

This is not an "eating" trip, but somehow naturally we do eat a lot, you can expect all the coming posts will be related to Hong Kong or Macau. For the first post, I would like to summarize the activities in each day, so this post will be like an "index" page with links to all coming reviews, also hope this can help you if you are visiting Hong Kong, Macau but no time to plan for it, keep this as a reference although this is not a fantastic schedule.

Thanks for this post, very informative!!
I'm checking in YWCA this end of the month via Hong Kong China Ferry Terminal.
Mind to share how you reach YWCA?
I plan to go there by MTR or bus.
Heard that taxi charges pretty expensive in HK, right?
Thanks

kinoku : from HK China Ferry Terminal to YWCA actually is not that far, I will suggest to go by taxi, it is not too expensive especially when you have a lot of luggage. MTR is quite far from YWCA.

Thanks, Tekko.
Another question...From Macau to HK China Ferry Terminal, which type of ferry you took last time?
Did you ride Turbojet? However, it will arrive at HK side terminal and not the Kow Loon side.

tekko said...

kinoku : no problem. i took taxi from Macau airport to ferry terminal too, i just informed the taxi driver i need to go to Hong Kong. both (Turbojet and another one) are available at same ferry terminal, just look for the counter that sells ticket to Kowloon. don't worry, not too hard to find :-)
