Wandering to Hong Kong

14 May 06
We went to HK by the earliest ferry (8:30pm), the day before i was thinking to change my mind for not taking the ferry as the weather here was so bad and the storm warning was being lit on, but i wanted to save more shopping time so finally we stepped on the ferry and i was the one who suffered the nausea.

I was celebrating my third Mother's day this year, this time is the special one as i could celebrate in my favor's place HK and it's first time to attend my church service in HK. At night, we went to "Avenue of Stars" to enjoy the special "lightings" that last for 15 mins. The lighting effect will turn the dark to glitter and the music playing is heart-stirring. "Avenue of Stars" is located in Tsim Shat Sui Promenade (尖沙咀海滨長廊 aka 尖东海旁）, is a place that salute to eminent Hong Kong film workers, so it won't be surprise to see those hands-imprinted and sculptures over there.

We went to Disneyland on Monday, we supposed to leave my friend's house earlier but due to some delays hence we only arrived in Disneyland at 12:24noon.








The train and the decorations inside the train are fantastic, even the hanging hand holder is with Mickey Mouse's shape!


















I was so innocent initially to think Disneyland would be less congested as it's a Monday so it's definitely out of my expectation to see those crowds! The weather was quite windy and the sun was almost being shaded by the clouds (actually seemed raining soon). Jo's soul was being rekindled when he saw "Dumbo the Flying Elephant","Mad Hatter Tea Cups" and "Cinderella Carousel", kids are kids that smart enough to survey around for their favor's events, just like Jo would look for his favor and even lined up the queue by his own. Since Jo is 26 months old, so most of the events are not allowed for us, Emm...actually is quite bored to play with Jo's favors.











There are 4 attractive places in Disneyland:
- Main Street, USA
- Adventure Land
- Fantasy Land
- Tomorrow Land

We spent most of our time in Fantasyland as Jo wasn't allowed to join some playings in Tomorrowland, hubby was a bit disappointed when knowing 3 of us couldn't enjoy together. We lost our stroller when we were playing the flying elephant, luckily the security guards there are kind enough to compensate another stroller for us and gave us a bottle of mineral water FOC. Don't think merely a mineral water, you know how much it costs in Disneyland, is HKD10 for the small bottle that can finish drinking within 30 seconds. Because of the case of lost stroller, we missed out a lots of other attractions in Fantasyland especially i missed my photo shooting with Donald Duck! You know, Donald Duck is my favour character!

The stroller can be borrowed in Disneyland with HKD50 for deposit and HKD50 for whole day rental. Thus it's very convenience for family with youngsters. But must becareful to take your belongings before you park your stroller at the parking slots. Some unethical people will pull away your stroller even the stroller is being marked down with your child's name. So, if you see the stroller without the name card then is meant this stroller is high probability from stolen.




At the Tomorrowland:








At 3:30pm, Disneyland has their festival parade that we can meet all the Disney friends and a lot of pixie dust.










After the parade, we headed to Winnie The Pooh's place as we took the Fastpass earlier before the parade, so we skipped the long queue to enter the place.



This is the entrance to read through the story of Winnie The Pooh.

After the Pooh, we were heading to Adventureland. So badly, we just managed to visit 2 events here, one is visiting to Tarzan Treehouse and another is watching the Lion King Show.








Since the Lion King Show is not allowed flashing camera, so my pictures are not pretty and a bit shaken. This is the wonderful show with splendid decorations and casting, even the singer is from African. My digital camera was out of the battery just on the half way of the Lion King show. FYI, you can bring along your charger to Disneyland as the City Hall is allowed people charging their electrical stuffs.









At 8pm sharp, it's a fireworks glitterly upon the Sleeping Castle.

The typhoon was lashing Hong Kong Wednesday morning, so all the ferry services and flights were being stopped until further notice. Since we couldn't back to Zhong Shan, so we headed to Shen Zhen for our next vacation.

Home sweet home! I saw all the trees in my place are being tied by iron rod, this is for preparing the whirling of the first storm of the year. Oh, never seen the storm but finally met it in Hong Kong.
