Hongkong/Guangzhou Trip Day 3

Breakfast in Guangzhou the next day~ Woke up so early and as always, so tired!







This trip is also part of dad's working trip, as he is there to contact his suppliers! Of course we followed! Took some trishaw-looking vehicle and it was a good experience! it was also faster than taxis as it is so compact and is able to weave in and out of traffic! in GZ, the traffic is horrendous! the ride is also quite scary as cars can just zoom SO close pass me. at one point i could touch a moving bus within an arm's length!





Reached the train station! They use these tokens as their train passes and by the end of the trip you'll just slot it in the gantry on your way out! COOL~







Reached the place and took an actual trishaw. the women there are awfully strong! they were the ones who peddled us to our destination.









The streets remind me of Singapore in the 1970s, it was as though I went back through time. People were staring at us, I guess they could tell that we weren't locals. It was really a very meaningful trip and made me realise how lucky we are to be in SG! The traffic is horrendous btw one road can have all the cars going in all different directions! Where's the order people!?

Thereafter, we left the place and took a train to the clothes distribution centre and looked around. Stuff mostly have to be bought in bulk, so we bought like 20 pairs of socks which were crazy cheap!!! stopped at this cosy little cafe for lunch! mmm i love pasta!









Look, they even had a mini clothing shop for the customers to go shopping while waiting for their food!













After that, we left the place AND traveled to another distribution centre! we totally spam on the accessories, such as hairbands, headbands, notebooks and all the funny little things! it was so tiring we left JUST before the place closed!

We also took the time to shop in the areas near our hotel as they were fucking cheap!!!! they used very funny tactics to attract customers by hanging signs saying that they have to clear all stocks as the company is bankrupt - sales revenue is used to repay debts! and they always have this sign 'Last day sales'! my dad said that their everyday is basically the 'last day' HAHHHAHAHAHA

Went to the mall nearby the hotel too, and the mall is really big and good! went to buy so much clothes! didnt take much photos as we were busy shopping! :):)

And that ends day 3. Update soon!

Hongkong/Guangzhou Trip Day 2

Next morning, we woke up early for breakfast, and of course, we had awesome DIM SUM!






The place seem so small at first but once we took the lift and stepped out, it was goddamn huge. Can't belittle HK, can't judge the place by its cover! HK is full of suprises!









I didn't slept well that night, so I was quite lethargic in the morning unlike my sisters..





Still, I enjoyed my breakfast - the dimsum was good, but maybe the xiaolongbao fell short of expectations. Din Tai Fung's was better!

Oooh and the dimsum had so many sauces to go with it! There was sweet sauce, soy sauce, amd also this red sauce which was vinegar I think, and they also had ginger too!

Went shopping near Jordan, which was also near our hotel! There were so many cute shops!!













Look at all these! It's so fab~~~



Bought Milk tea too, it's so nice, I'm thinking that every HK bubble tea stall sell good milk tea!!!

Bought A LOT of masks!! didnt buy a lot of clothes as the area there are mostly for tourists hence the prices seem to be jacked up by quite a bit! and my dad keep saying that guangzhou clothes nicer and cheaper zzz. The masks are cheaper than SGs and we knew we couldn't buy facial products in Guangzhou, hence we totally spam HAHA. the clothes there are mainly street style though, and it was cool :)

Also headed to this departmental store where we bought stationeries as well as souvenirs for our friends :) Dad went to a massage parlour i think.

Thereafter, we rushed back into the hotel, checked out, and cabbed to the train station! It was so nerve wrecking cos we were running late~

FINALLY boarded the train!









Left our seats and went to the back of the train for dinner! it was a cool experience to eat inside a train, and the food was quite good~ Dad began telling us stories..











After the 3 hr trip, we took a cab near our hotel area and walked there! Dad forgot how to go that place zzz so we had to walk while carrying our huge ass luggage! The hotel concierge took fucking long and by the time we checked in, we decided to just decided to rest in the hotel and end the night.

And... that concludes the end of day 2!
