when Mickey said ‘Ni Hao’
this is a very belated post regarding the hongkong trip 3 weeks ago.
actually, it was a very busy at tunay na business trip … sulit na sulit kumbaga. nasa airport pa lang ako e inaayos ko na ang presentation na gagawin ko sa mga users namin. at ng nasa eroplano ko at sabihin ng piloto na pwede ng gumamit ng electronic devices e binuksan ko na ulit ang laptop para basahin at mag-comment sa mga user requirements na ipinadala sa min.
sabi ng mga friendships ko e medyo malamig daw sa gabi kaya dapat magdala ng jacket … pero sa umaga di naman daw gaano, mas malamig pa sa loob ng office. well … unfortunately, nag-uulan ng dumating kami. the friday and saturday we were there turned out to be the coldest day of the year … the temperature ranged from 9-12C. napabili tuloy ako ng pagkakapal-kapal na jacket!
anyways … my first trip to hongkong was in November 2002. it was vacation with Det. very exciting ang trip na yun, nakapagpa-book lang kami ng hotel the day before kami umalis. hirap na hirap kami magpabook kasi natapat sya sa Macau rally. pero kahit hindi kami makakuha ng hotel noon, we were determined to go kasi nakafile na leave namin, kasehodang pagdating na lang dun saka kami maghanap ng hotel basta ang importante makapunta kami. last minute na ng makahanap kami ng package tour na katanggap-tanggap ang hotel at price … at imagine, 5pm na ko nakapagbayad dun sa travel agency tapos ang flight namin e next day na, first flight out of manila pa.

four days, three nights ang vacation namin ni det na yun. enough to rejuvinate a very harassed person. at ang masarap pa dun e kakabonus lang namin, swerte ng mga inaanak ko noon kasi puro galing hk ang regalo ko sa kanila 
now, back to the january 2006 trip … since it was an official business trip, di kami gaanong nakagala. imagine pati saturday morning e meron pa rin kaming meeting sa mga users namin… until 12 noon! pero syempre, since nasa hongkong na kami at tutal 9pm pa naman ang aming flight to manila (last flight out syempre), my bosing and i decided to go to disneyland. o di ba? wala talagang sinayang na oras!

eto lang ang masasabi ko sa hk disneyland … if you havent been to Disneyland in California or Florida, HK Disneyland will do … mas malaki pa ang chance nyo na makapagpakuha ng picture na kasama si Mickey Mouse :D. but if you’ve been to the US or Japan version of Disneyland, for sure maliliitan kayo dito. i think this one is just about the size of Enchanted Kingdom o baka mas malaki lang ng konti. and the ticket price … halos pareho lang ang ticket price (HKD 350 on a weekend) sa US Disney (USD 45). considering na about 1/10th lang ang HK Disneyland, masyadong mahal ang ticket nila. so, kung di naman kayo nagmamadaling makita si Mickey … i suggest better wait for their expansion. yun nga lang di pa natin alam kung gaano kabilis nila gagawin yun
one good thing sa HK Disney … malapit sa airport! walang hassle. so paglabas namin, straight to the airport na kami ng bosing ko. at that’s another thing … not even in my wildest dream na naimagine ko na ang kasama kong magliliwaliw sa Disneyland e ang bosing ko sa office 
i’m off to hongkong again this weekend. 3 day trip na naman. pagod na naman. but no disneyland for me this time
a oo nga pala … click on the pics to go to the photoalbum
