This is the chronology of my Macau-Hong Kong vacation from 27th until 31st May 2010, Day 3.
It’s our last breakfast at Macau. I forgot to mention this on my previous post. Did you notice when you order a burger at our local restaurant that they always serve it with spoon and fork. Well over here, we are having rice, using fork and knife. Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? Today all of us will be taking ferry to Hong Kong, Kowloon to be exact, departing from Macau at 11 am. When Danny told us we would be taking first ferry to Hong Kong, I was puzzled because why would your first ferry depart at 11? Turns out, after getting our ticket, we are taking a ferry run by New World First Ferry. Silly me.
Much like the ferry that we took on my first day of vacation, this one is also comfortable, reached Kowloon at about 12pm. After immigration check, I was stop by their health inspector because I’m hot. Yeah, I was smokin’, so they have to stop me to get my autograph. That was what I hope it was; instead, they sense my body temperature was high from their heat camera. They did a physical temperature check and my temperature was 38 degree Celsius. OK I don’t feel like I’m coming down with flu. The health inspector asked me a few question, one of it is if I have contracted Avian flu. Are you kidding me? Oh please not me! When he asked if I have cough, sore throat, running nose, shortness of breath, diarrhea and vomiting, I answered no. When asked if I have been in contact with any animal, I think hard, if he means any kind of birds, the only close encounter was the “chicken” at Hard Rock Hotel, and I didn’t even touch them. So he let me go, giving me a letter so if I do came down with a flu, just present the letter to the doctor and they will do the rest. Thank god I don’t need it.

This is the chronology of my Macau-Hong Kong vacation from 27th until 31st May 2010, Day 1
The much-anticipated trip for this year I would say. When my company announces that they are going to be organizing a vacation trip this year I immediately sign in, I really need a vacation. At first we were told that we would be going to Macau for a few days. My colleague and I were thinking off going to Hong Kong ourselves from Macau since we are not gambling there. Who wouldn’t want to go to Hong Kong? Everybody knows it is the place to get good food, good shopping bargain; I was told so, and DISNEYLAND! Later on it was changed, we would spend 2 days in Macau and 3 Days in Hong Kong. And a lot of us sign in to visit Disneyland, only a few opt to do their own thing. Shopping I guess.
So here we are, all ready at the airport, with smiling face, a half empty luggage and myself with one bag pack. We were told to be at the airport as early as 8:30am, to check-in our luggage early, to avoid complication I guess since our departure time is at 11:35am. So we waited together at Mc Donald and have our breakfast there. This would be also the first time I’m keeping a travel book for myself, together with my brand new Fuji Instax camera. More >
