EN ROUTE: HONGKONG

A day before the Philippines Independence Day, finally i found my passport, so up to the last minute i decided to go to Hongkong, and end my summer season there :) (actually it was my second time to visit the place.) All of my stuff was on rush just to be on these trip. Thank God that he guided me all through out the trip.

It was 7pm when i landed to Hongkong via Cebu Pacific and my friend is waiting for almost 4 hours at Hongkong International Airport coz' we do have different flight. From the Airport we took the Airport Express Train going to Mongkok, Kowloon for our accomodation.. we thought that riding on it was for free but when we arrived in Mongkok station we saw some locals tapping their train card on the machine..in w/c we don't have.. so we decided to ask the customer service and he gave us HK$55 per card just to exit on the station (too expensive compare to an ordinary MTR train)

At the Mongkok proper, it was like daytime maybe because of the lights surrounded by us.. as far as  i remember according to Guinness World Recordsthe city is known for having the highest population density in the world and having the most colorful and vibrant establishment.

Were lucky that we found our accomodation along the busy street of Argyle, where you can find low-priced clothes and shoes that makes the street as a crowded center.  


Dragon Hostel is the place where we'd stayed, it was recommended by a friend. For a budget traveler this is worth staying for.. for more info about their services click here
