Guys, how are you doing? I am fine and didn’t get stuck in the heaviest rainstorms in Hong Kong. I was back from my trip at 30th May 2008. Lucky!

I was sick for a few days since the day I landed back on Malaysia. It was a terrible experience and I lost about 3KG of my body weight. Now, I have smaller tummy. Lucky? Unlucky?

After I had recovered from my sickness. I went to Segamat to attend a friend’s wedding. It’s a kind of weird feeling to see other friends in couple or married friends with their child. Some even have 2nd child! My another friend had his 2nd child, a son, the day before my friend’s wedding!

“When is your turn?” you ask. Well, not so soon.

I took a lot of pictures during the trip. I even bought a new camera for the trip! I shall filter and sort the pictures and tag some of them with geotag soon. It is hours of work.

Anyone has tips to ease the pictures filtering/uploading tasks after a trip?

Anyway, stay tune for my pics on Flickr.

For the whole next week, I will be in the Hong Kong. ShenZhen and GuangZhou. My dad, younger brother and I are going to China for holiday. We do not follow any travel agency tour. We travel at our own, kind of backpackers. We will spend 3 days in Hong Kong, 1 day in ShenZhen and 2 days in GuangZhou.

Planning a tour online

Basically, we did everything online, such as booking AirAsia flight tickets and hotel rooms. There are many websites for travelers on hotel booking and travel guide. My brother and I did online research for a couple days to find the good one. I also asked for friends advices.

The AirAsia return flight tickets (Hong Kong) is about RM1,000+ for each person (not the recent RM0 promotion). The Hong Kong hotel room is HKD450 per night for 3 pax. ShenZhen is slightly cheaper. We will stay in a 4 stars hotel in GuangZhou with river view.

As for the attractions, we didn’t plan much about it. We have a list of attractions of each city but we haven’t planned a traveling route. Freestyle!

Shopping, shopping, shopping!

Hong Kong is well known as the shopping heaven because it is duty free for branded stuff. I checked a Canon camera listed price, Hong Kong is few hundred bucks cheaper than the listed price in Malaysia! That’s around 20% cheaper!
