I got three phrases to best describe our experience in Ibis Hotel, North Point — (1) value for money, (2) great location and (3) just what we need. Here’s my fair share of Room 1906 and Ibis North Point in general. It’s our 5th time in Hong Kong but this is our first time to stay in Ibis North Point. We booked for a Double Bed City View room (11 sqm) but we have been upgraded to the one with harbor view for FREE. And for us, that’s a +1 point for their service. Outside Ibis…
At exactly today – Valentines Day of 2014, Hon and I got to experience one of the most special Valentine celebrations in the existence of our almost 15-year relationship. We were in a cruise, watching the Symphony of Lights and having sumptuous dinner in Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour. Today, I only got to write this experience and share with you. And as I always say, you can only capture the moments in photos and experiences are things that you can keep as memories – beautiful and beyond comparable. Errrrk! Enough for the sweet introduction just because it’s Valentines Day! It…
Part of our itinerary in Hong Kong is a visit to Cheung Chau Island. I have to mention “Biyahe ni Drew” again because we learned this place from one of his Hong Kong episodes. This place completed our list of things to do to have a laid-back vacation in Hong Kong. The island is small but definitely has a lot of exciting things to offer. As a matter of fact, I don’t know where to start! For us, going to Cheung Chau Island is a breeze. Well… the only challenge is the long walking to get to the Central terminal in a…
Three weeks after our trip in HongKong, we went to Malaysia to celebrate my birthday. The weather is hot but not humid. The feel did not surprise us since it’s expected and Philippines has also the same temperature. It’s our first time in Malaysia and we know for a fact that it’s not easy to roam around like in HongKong where you can rely on their MTR system. While there are available city tour packages online, we still decided to avail the two-day ticket of the Kuala Lumpur Hop-on, Hop-off bus. So if you are planning to go to Malaysia…
Did you know that the Mid-Level Escalator in Hong Kong is the longest covered escalator system in the world? According to the Wikipedia, “The entire system covers over 800 metres (2,600 ft) in distance and elevates over 135 metres (443 ft) from bottom to top. It was constructed in 1993 to provide a better commute by linking areas within the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island. It consists of twenty escalators and three inclined moving walkways. ” It could take you an approximately 20 minutes to got the uphill. And we’ve been there from the bottom to top…
Many people ask us, why do you always go to HongKong every first quarter of the year? Our answer is simple, “we fell in love with the place”. This is our 4th time in HongKong and 3rd time in Macau. For us, these two places are by far, our most favorite get away during the winter season. While HongKong is considered as one of the most expensive cities to explore, we always make sure that we spare money and time to visit it every winter since we first experience it in 2009. It was also our first destination abroad. We…
