Revisiting Hong Kong: Part 2
My parents really bring fortune to Hong Kong man...haha...the ridge of high pressure persisted for the first 5 days they were there and most of time was spent walking the streets in continuous drizzle which became torrential occasionally. Come to think of it, the biggest rain was whenever I shifted things from my hall to my aunt's place at Fo Tan where I shuttled to and fro because I had credits left in my CULink so I wanted to clear it by staying in hall. It is as though some divine force didn't want me to move out..hahahahaha
So even when the rain stopped intermittently, the skies were really grey and the clouds were really low and fog persisted. There was not a single thing to see when we went up the peak! Can't help it, it was the 6th day by then and the next days will be in Macau and Shenzhen when my bro and sis-in-law comes over.
Grey skies...
Besides revisiting Hong Kong, I also went to some places which I missed, such as the Victoria Prison (missed the Open House in Jan, realised that only in May) which was right behind the old police station at Soho. It was where the Vietnamese refugee were kept in the early 90's...another part of old Hong Kong which together with the police station is also at risk of being torn down and the land redeveloped.
Ocean Park
Damn..I should have went with the singy gang because I went in bad weather..sobz..and the rides were stopped many times or they were simply too wet to take...and boy was it a dampener..but overall it was SMALL..really. It was like trying to throw Dreamworld and Seaworld into an area 1% of the formers, and of course the tiongs who were enjoying themselves so much did not help the situation...
People had this since so long ago and Sentosa had to make a big hoo ha when it got its Carlsberg Tower...wth...
Feels like a big storm brewing huh...but it was actually constantly moving..it was simply a gigantic mass of rain clouds, visible on satellite images...
At the end of it all, it was quite disappointing...moreover its like Sentosa with Bird Park all thrown in as well...but then again, if one Ocean Park can do it all, won't Singapore lose it not-so-huge numbers of tourists?
