Hong Kong

It was not the original intention to go to Hong Kong Disneyland but because Japan was hit by the earthquake in April this year so we had to cancel that trip. Mummy and Daddy arranged the Hong Kong trip with Godpa and Aunty Jo so that I have Janessa for company. We were there from the 6th to 10th December.

We spent a whole day in Disneyland. Although we were told that the weather there is very cold, we were surprised to find that it was almost as hot as Singapore. It was very crowded, mostly with mainland Chinese but we managed to catch most of the attractions with not too much waiting time. We stayed till the end to watch the fireworks in front of the castle. Before the show was over, I was already fast asleep in the stroller, tired from running around the whole day.

Janessa was not feeling well the next day so Godpa decided to let her sleep in while we went on our own to explore the South of Hong Kong. We took the double decker bus which took us from Central all the way to Stanley Market. It was rather exciting as the road was very narrow, windy and for most parts, either going uphill or downhill. We had lunch at Stanley Market after walking around the shops. Mummy and Daddy spent about an hour having coffee while I was playing at a playground nearby.

The next day we went to Ocean Park and this time the weather was more pleasant although the crowd was still the same with mainly Mandarin speaking tourists. There were many thrill rides which were meant for older kids so we were only left with a few simple rides which were not worth the waiting time. Daddy felt the highlight of that place was the cable car ride which took us to the top of the mountain and overlooking Stanley Market. The Dolphin and Seal show was also not very fantastic but the kids enjoyed it nonetheless. Daddy said the Ocean Park at San Diego is much better so I am looking forward to going there next time.

It was a good break for everyone and I am now looking forward to Disneyland Japan and Ocean Park San Diego.
