Hong Kong

This is my third time in Hong Kong. It is a nice city to dine in, but I disliked many of my experiences there interacting with strangers or workers. I arrived at HKG early in the morning after a red eye flight, and took the subway to Kowloon. I embarked on the free hotel shuttle to the Intercontinental and explicitly told the driver where I was going. I was 1 of 2 passengers, and after he dropped the first guy off, he drove to another hotel and dropped me off. I got off the shuttle and went into the hotel only to realize he took me to the wrong hotel! It was a bit my fault for not checking where I was before getting off the bus, but a lot his fault for driving to that hotel for no reason and telling me we arrived (I was the only passenger left and he wasn't picking up anyone).

I was a 10-minute-drive away from the correct hotel, which made me pretty mad that he was so off. I took a cab to the Intercontinental Hong Kong, where my dad and I agreed to meet for breakfast. The I/C's Harbourside cafe has a great view and fresh food, but bad coffee.


We walked out to the Avenue of the Stars for a little stroll. The panorama sight there is incredible still.


I decided that's all I wanted to do in Hong Kong that day and was ready to see Macau next. However, it was already noon and we missed the ferry. Thank goodness - I was beat! Just wanted to go home and relax in good ol' Shenzhen.
