Hong Kong!
The weather was great! Whats not to love about 16 deg temperatures? WINTER!
*%&$^WOULD THE ASS WHO IS CALLING MY HOME AND HANGING UP THE PHONE AFTER ONE RING PLEASE STOP IT! ITS DAMN IRRITATING!*&*((&
Back to the point...I used to believe that Bangkok was the centre of the world for shopping but after the June and recent trip there, my opinion has been totally changed. Obviously the centre is now HONG KONG.
There's - wonderful cantonese dramas
- four seasons
- finally being able to understand what the world the sales assistant were saying instead of having to gesticulate to the thai assistants
- delicious and tasty food
- SHOPPING!
As you can see, loads of clothes and busted a whole load of cash.
Here's what I bought =
1 pair of sunglasses1 bag1 fur coat :)1 sweater2 blazars2 jackets ( 1 adidas one! )
3 vests
4 long pants
4 tee shirts
6 shirtsnonetheless, the stuff i did buy is way longer. Ah well, shopping was great anyways.
Heh now comes the time to whine and bitch....About Guangzhou...
On the fourth day of our trip, our merry band of three packed up our stuff and headed for Guangzhou, expecting a whole load of walking , armed with expectations of shuffling with the chinese grabbing for amazing deals and convinced about other's notions about the shopping heaven it was. Not to mention the amazing hotel that was recommended by a certain mum's friend ( growl )We could not be more mistaken, cheated and hugely disappointed.
Strike 1-The first shocker came when I was nearly run down by a bus while crossing the road.
Strikes 2 to 34245- Lido hotel, sorry, probably im a spoilt brat used to good hotels such as..
But this hotel totally sucked.
It was supposed to look like...
Must have been photoshopped like a trillion times. Bah. It was utterly crummy.
Strikes to infinity - The shopping sucked! It was basically, prices equal to that of Hong Kong, fashions like that of a fourth world country ( yes, i know there's no such thing, I'm just trying to make a point!), the same, boring cuttings all over the place. And the touts selling the fake "vatches" compounded the whole Guangzhou experience as a sucky one. It will be the first, and the last!
Heh, Hong Kong is still better.!
