Every Christmas Magic would like to stay with her family, especially her mami, as her mami's birthday is on 28Dec. This year, surely she went back HK. And her Japanese friend, Miyuki also planned to go to Hong Kong, too. Being a Hong Kong tourism ambassador(Magic always thinks!), Magic'd love to be her tour guide.
Today Magic and Miyuki arrived at HK international airport around 1030. After picked up their baggage, they took Airport express train to Kowloon station. Tourist can buy an one way airport express ticket at HKD90 per person per way or purchase an Airport Express Travel pass at HKD220 / 300 per person. Just two stops, they safely reached at Kowloon station. W Hong Kong is just located above Element, where is one of new shopping malls. They stepped into the W Hong Kong, where is linked up to the mall. There is the concierge. They took a lift to the Living room (that is the front office!) for check-in. Wow ! Cool ! They couldn't wait to see their wonderful room. Wow! They was just like entered into a new world to explore. They could not remember how many pictures they took inside of the hotel room. While the phone was ringing, Magic just noticed that her mami was waiting for them downstairs.
Great, it's time to go for dim sum! They took bus to Mongkok. Magic's sister, Tracy and brother-in-law, Ming also joined their lunch. 5 of them could order more dim sum to eat. Miyuki tried to eat new dim sums and she enjoyed them very much. Yummy! Magic brought Miyuki to 'sport-shoes' street to buy some sport shirts. Magic asked her best friend, Kit out to help her buy a new digital camera. They both were happy to buy something. They took MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui.
"Oh, no, how come Nathan road is closed!" Then they knew it was because of the count down for Christmas. Magic loves to walk in the middle of road. She likes this feeling of freedom. They went to Avenue of Stars, where is just located aside of Victoria Harbour. What is the Avenue of Stars(星光大道)? In fact, they were not really interested in Avenue of Stars, but there is the best place to view the symphony of lights at 8pm. In additional, they could enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour with festive lightings. Magic felt a bit upset that there were not many buildings decorated with festive lightings due to the economic turndown. They walked to TST east and took tunnel bus to Central, Hong Kong island side.
Yeah, it's a long day for them. What's the next? They were going to Lan Kwai Fong in Central. They had a late dinner at Tsui Wah restaurant (翠華茶餐廳). Magic was already exhausted and could not eat anymore. However, rest of them still had very good appetite, they order fish soup noodles, french toast, iced milk tea, iced lemon tea, ... After dinner, they walked around the pubs' areas in Lan Kwai Fong. Lots of policemen were stand-by there to control of load of people. Most of pubs were packed already. People were waiting for Christmas's coming. Magic and Miyuki took MTR back to hotel from Hong Kong Station in Central, just one stop away. They could not wait to lay on the W signature bed. They were so tired and sleepy already!
