Hong Kong is such an exciting, lively and vibrant city, that really lives up to it’s term: “East meets West”. It has a great mix of both Western and Eastern, when it comes to culture, food, shopping, and architecture. It is a city that has “everything”.
There's a hole in my heart that only Hong Kong can fill. Maybe because it's the first foreign country I've ever visited.
Looking back, Hong Kong isn't bad for a first, I've been amazed by their impressive transportation — from the airport, vast train network down to their reliable bus system, I'm in awe of their conveniency. If that would be the case here in the Philippines, working miles from home is not a challenge.
Aside from that, Hong Kong made all their tourist attractions easily accessible, no hustle. Another thing is on every places you go, they make the elderly and kids a priority. Two thumbs-up for that. 👍🏻👍🏻
Our hotel is located at 📍Mongkok, most popular and bustling districts in Hong Kong.
Here at Mongkok, streets never run out of people. My korean heart is very happy indeed because at the corners of this you'll find different kiosk of Korean products. Innisfree, Nature Republic, Etude House, Laneige and many more!
You noticed that high building? Due to their big population and lack of space, that buildings happened to be the houses of the people living there. You can't find houses alike here in the Philippines.
When you're in Hong Kong, you should not miss going to the happiest place on Earth, Disneyland!
Book your tickets in advance online so that you'll skip long queues, you can also have a discount.
Entering disneyland will surely amazed you. The experiences and memories that you will had on this place will surely be a treasured one. It was really like a dream came true. Very much blessed I have spend it with my whole family. Wouldn't have it any other way.
We first visited the Toy Story Land. This land is themed after the popular Toy Story movies. My heart skipped a beat as I see Woody.
Rides and Attactions:
RC Racer
Toy Soldier Parachute Drop
Barrel of Fun
Slinky Dog Spin
I experienced the RC Racer, such an extreme ride; took pictures with Jessie on the Barrel of Fun and rode on the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop with my baby bear.
There's this Andy's Toy Box wherein you can buy collector's item figures of all the casts of Toy Story, souveneir shirts and many more.
For my baby bear, he had the Buzz Lightyear! To infinity and beyond! 😉
After splurging ourselves into the Toy Story Land, we took a break, looked for food stalls and grabbed some lunch.
💡: If you're going to the Disneyland, make sure you'll eat outside of it. Food and drinks inside of it are so pricy. A bottle of water for $49 hkd, that's P340 Php. Make sure bring on with you a tumblr, water refilling stations are provided inside.
Passing through, we've reached the Tomorrow Land
This land is the futuristic one, adventure in space and into the future. Front and into the center are the Star Wars attractions, in the middle, there comes the Marvel Superheroes.
My baby bear is really fond of eggs, whatever that looks like an egg, he will pose and have his killer smile. We have found an egg at the Tomorrow Land.
We didn't get to explore much the Tomorrow Land because that time, the disney parade is starting up.
Before we passed through the Tomorrow Land, we rode on to, for me, the best ride I have ever. Haha. The Big Grizzly Mountain.Just because the long lines are consuming much of the time, I'll never get tired of riding on it all over and over again.
Long day at Disneyland deserves delicious food and for me Takoyaki is the best reward. This is the best version I have tasted so faar! I think I had like 4 orders with 6 pieces each. What is diet? Haha.
If you like to buy souvenirs, bags, clothes, shoes and many more but you're on a budget, Ladies Market is the one for you. It is the inexpensive-fashion street shopping haven. Though not that much inexpensive, but it makes a lot difference than the prices at the mall.
Vendors start setting up their stall at noon and they are open until midnight.
I really feel blessed celebrating my birthday at Hong Kong with my whole family. Not everyone is given a chance to have what I have experienced. Grateful to our Lord for all the blessings I know I don't deserve but He still supplies me with. This will I treasure forever in my heart.
Okay. Where to next? 😉
