3 Days 2 Night - Shenzhen/Hong Kong

Well as promise, here is my blog, one of my favourite past-time TRAVELING (and currently looking for travel and food sponsor also to be their freelance writer- YES I am serious).

Where do I start, yah my memory start to come back again, mmm.. the trip there was some where July last year (2007). I read that Air asia has made the inaugural flight to Shenzhen and MINE was the 2nd flight, talking about blue ocean strategies- I am one of the pioneer in that sense.



(Above picture, myself (left) with the two beautiful air stewardess).


Alright, am really excited to TELL ALL ya..., My trip to the KLIA airport was an excitiiing one... the normal highways and byways, petrol station etc, upon reaching the airport, I casually check in via the Air asia counter for boarding and after that finish off my mineral water as there is a ban to bring in can/bottled water of more than 100 ml (the T.. thing ya).


The plane started to take off and as you can see I had the ladies' (air stewardess) with me as the proof of charm... and of course their friendliness to take pictures...the flight took about... 4-5 hours. When I reached there it was night time and one tour guy was waiting anxiously, the bus has to take to a train station to board for Hong kong one night, had to rush to get the LAST train to HK and am blurr of the direction, what more have to fork out money first for the train fare and claimed later from the tour guide in HK (Advice go for reputable travel company) , imagine just got the last train otherwise I would have to take another route (God knows where). when I reached the HK station it was like midnight and the tour guide was babbling something... story cut short, I check in to a hotel and it is really small ya..,


The next day, I went for the fixed tour destinations after breakfast, they will rush you to "commission" destinations namely medicine shop, etc and we are off back to Shenzhen after lunch (on my own) via train for night there, the visit in Shenzhen bring me to the cultural village, shopping complexes, medicine shops and sent us back to the airport to catch a flight back to KL.



All I could say was a "Touch and Go" scenario ya.. and for me is a exploration stage and the next time the mode is free and easy "back packed" version, got some connections there set up and NOW waiting for sponsor, I hope to be there again for the real details stuff- Investigation all corners of interest in Shenzhen and beyond.



Until next time, signing off...
