Hello Again, Hong Kong and Hi, Shenzhen!

I haven't really talked about this trip I had last December 30-January 2. Actually, this was the most difficult trip I've ever had abroad. Aside from my pregnancy, several factors affected my total satisfaction with the trip: the cold weather in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, the bad hotel we had at Shenzhen, the delay of Philippine Airline's flight PR 311 from 10PM-12:30AM, and the food in Shenzhen. The best trip for me is still the Hong Kong trip I had last 2009 with my parents. Best hotels (we stayed inside Disneyland--Hollywood Hotel), great food, nice flight and I was single. Just kidding about the last part ;)

some of the pages in the Photobook I'm making. no captions yet, I'm too lazy.

I had the chance to write this today as I was finishing my Photobooks for the trips I had in 2012. I bought 2 vouchers from Groupon last year and the purpose of it was really for these trips. The idea of having the voucher came from my sisters-in-law, who had already bought so much and gave us vouchers for my son's 2nd birthday. I had to try the software in my Windows PC before, and it was user-friendly. Now, for my Mac, I downloaded the software and it was way better than last year. I also love the readybooks that I used. Photobook Worldwide has the best selection and also easy transaction for people who aren't artistic like me.

We welcomed the New Year for the first time in a foreign land and it wasn't as good as Philippine New Year with all the fireworks across the neighborhood. Although I must say, the fireworks display at Hong Kong Disneyland around 9PM is probably something I would always have in my dear memory. It was so wonderful. :D But yeah, I didn't like Mainland China that much. I don't like the "Kung fu toilet" and the reception of the people there to tourists. The Shenzhen Immigration is still scary, BUT, I must say their service is fast. 

I just couldn't stand the cold inside the hotel. I have been to Baguio before, but it was on a summer so it wasn't as cold as 6 degrees celsius. But anyway, the hotel has no air conditioner to warm us up nor temperature control. The staff also spoke only a few English words and generally almost everyone except the tourguide do not speak English. It's way better in Hong Kong.
