Zai Jian Macau! Ni Hao Hong Kong!




View from my seat inside the Cotai Water Jet.


Touring Macau ended as quickly as we stepped on our ferry ride to Hong Kong. We paid for 149MOP for the Cotai Jet ride to Hong Kong <They have trips every 30 minutes but it is still best to get your tickets booked ahead of time>. It was a good experience riding the ferry even we cannot see what is going on outside. It was a little bumpy but a safe trip after all. The whole Cotai Jet gives you a feel of an airplane traveling on a cloudy weather. The stewardess was not as helpful as I expected especially when we asked for a copy of the disembarkation slips, she just waived her hands at us to wait and screamed “I’ll get back to you!” and did not get back at all. I no longer want to waste time arguing with this kind of scenario. I have been walking my feet against the ground the whole day and I don’t want another discomfort. So I let myself to have a quick nap <it’s my way of not to feel sea sick… hehehe> and woke up about 30 minutes before docking. So I quickly fill out my disembarkation slip and noticed that the format they wanted for the date was ddmmmyyyy (28JAN2013) so I need to re-write everything and it’s not only me. Ikhay and Kambal did the same thing.


Upon arriving at the Tsim Sha Tsui/Kowloon Ferry Station or the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal we walked past the immigration and find ourselves wandering around the Shun Tak Centre and China Merchant Tower then lead to the UG1 and took a cab to Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
You should always keep a copy of your hotel reservation so the cab drivers will be able to read the address and drop you to the right place.

Some passenger keeping themselves busy while traveling.
We rested in our hotel after finding a cheap place to eat which our hotelier informed us “The cheapest food here is in McDonalds!” Yes indeed McDonalds is the cheapest fast food restaurant around our hotel but we rather ate at KFC and tried something different. I ate a bowl size of baked chicken on rice with extra chicken leg part on the side and a cup of soda. I was all starving as there has been no food served during our voyage.

Once we get back to the hotel, we cleaned and readied ourselves for the next day’s plan. Checked what stations we should ride from Tsim Sha Tsui to Disney Land. Indeed, Disney Land day is next and I will write more for you tomorrow.

Goldwyn, I did not forget your request. I’m still working on my articles and will get back to you with the budget.

If you have any questions please let me know and I’d be happier to help.


I would like to take the advantage on thanking Ria for giving me a passport holder/jacket. It was very useful! Also, thank you Ate Eileen for the bull cap. I did use it and will still be using it. I had some pictures wearing the cap you gave me and I really like the colour! Again thank you so much for the gifts!
