Woot! We are in Hong Kong again! Meimei has to be here for a week or two so we are here earlier over the weekend. It's been a year and a half since I came here for Christmas ... how time flies. We would have come more often if it wasn't my work schedules. It's summer time though and the weather can be hotter and dryer than Singapore.
20 July - Arrival
We took half day leave and flew into Hong Kong in the evening. We are now staying at the Excelsior Hotel. Meimei was here the last time and it was a very convenient and comfortable hotel to stay, with MTR and shopping district right at the doorstep of the hotel. As always, the first itinerary is to make a trip to Grandma at the east Kowloon area. We brought a special gift this time, Durians! Apparently Grandma loves durians and so we had make a trip to get a box of our favourite Mao Shan Wang the night before. And the stall had unique vacuum pack versions for us to pack into our check-in luggage. It seems they have quite a few Chinese customers who would tabao the durians when they go home to China and they had 'perfected' the packaging to cater to that.
