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.

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.
Thanks for reading this one.

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!
