Hi !
It's been a long time not to post something in my blog. Well, I'm kinda ( trying to be ) busy with my work, but yeah laziness always come over me hahahaha. So I have a lot of story to begin my first post in 2013. Let's start it with my trip to Hongkong which was held in January 5th - January 10th, 2013.
Start now !
Soooo, actually in March 2012 after my arrival from Singapore, I browsed some airlines to get some inspirations where to go for my annual holiday next year. My mom was really dreaming to go to Hongkong, because my auntie told her about it before. I actually prepare to go to South Korea. But finally, we decided to go to Hongkong first. Lucky us, we got a really cheap ticket to go to Hongkong with Garuda Indonesia, an Indonesian first-class airlines, for only US$ 247 RETURN ! We departed from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport ( CGK ) anyway. I came to Hongkong with 2 of my aunties and 1 of my auntie's friend who is so close with us, Tante Dyah ( Tante = Auntie ).
But in November 2012, my first auntie, Mimi, got a light stroke or infark, But she'd still like to go! So yeah we brought her wheel chair as well.
Taraaaaa, so we departed on January 4th, 2013 at 23:25 PM ( Indonesia timezone +7 ).
The flight was actually delayed because the plane should be parked in a domestic flight parking lot because of one reason. But that was okay with us. With a great service from the airport and Garuda Indonesia, so my auntie who is disable got a priority to be picked up by a car which would deliver them into the plane. The other passengers needed to ride the Garuda Indonesia bus to go to the Domestic Flight Parking Lot.
Garuda Indonesia served us with a very awesome service. I really enjoyed my flight. Their foods, in-flight entertainment, stewardesses' service were superbly superb ! Thank God for letting us try the first class flight! Hahahaha
My trip from Jakarta to Hongkong spent like about 5 hours. We arrived in Hongkong at 06:30 AM ( Hongkong's Timezone +8 ). After all of the immigration thingy and the baggage claim, we went to our hotel, which was located in Sheung Wan, Central. We went there by Alphard taxi. Well, in Indonesia, Alphard is a really luxurious and expensive car, but here it's only a taxi! Hahahahaha.
Our hotel name is
60 WEST HOTEL. Located in Des Voeux W Road, Sheung Wan, Central. The main entrance was not that big, but inside of the hotel was quite big. It was actually an apartment, then transformed into a hotel. So we got a large room with very great facilities that you sometimes can't get it with a reasonable price. We only paid for IDR 9.000.000 or US$ 850 for 5 nights for 2 rooms. It had kitchenette ( microwave, sink, and fridge ), iron table + iron, hairdryer, spacious bed, even a balcony! We were lucky to stay there. It's also close to the bus stop, even though it's quite far from the Sheung Wan MTR Station.
Since we came at 9 AM, we couldn't enter our rooms. The check-in time is at 2 PM. But we could stay in a lounge in the 3rd floor. They provide 2 units of computer and also several comfortable sofas. I didn't do much things on my first day because I was too tired and sleepy.
At night, my family and I decided to have a dinner in the closest food market that we could find. It's
Queen Street Food Market.
Oh I put my aunties and my mother's photo here hahaha I can't find my photo here. We ordered from a Thailand and Vietnam restaurant there. We had a large bowl of tom yum soup, Indonesian seafood fried rice, and also cheese and garlic naan bread from an Indian restaurant. Brrrr .... that tom yum was really refreshing. Tasted very good!! :9
After had a dinner, we went around the Queen Street and took some photos. Check 'em out !
