So I arrived at the Airport, first thing we did was bought an Octopus card. Unless you're going to be travelling like hell lot on trains I don't suggest you buy the special tourist Octopus card (300HKD). It's much cheaper if you just buy your Airport Express Train and get the regular card. Because if you're hardcore like us, you can just walk everywhere.

We were too early for check-in so we decided to walk around to soak up the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the blazing sun, hungry stomach and no sleep weren't of much help. That's when I also found out the hard way that Mongkok MTR wasn't so near after all.

But we did eventually find our way there and did our first touristy thing, visiting The Peak. A lot of people say that HK is very similar to Singapore, and I totally agree. When we were walking there we passed by this building, and holy crap the place was the same as Lucky Plaza on a Sunday... if you get what I mean.

I was super elated when I finally saw this sign. Until I saw the amount of people inside, I almost died.

Finally seated after 20 min of pushing and squeezing.

Alas, we reached the top, and we were greeted by a shopping centre with like 7 levels wtf. That's also where Mdm Tussauds is located. We didn't bother buying ticket to the Sky Terrace so we just went out outside on one of the levels to take photo. #budgettourists

NOT NICE DON'T BUY.

We took the same tram back down and settled on Honolulu Cafe at Stanley street for our lunch.

GO TRY THEIR EGGTARTS!!!! Their custard has this wonderful unique "watery" texture. Something like Old Airport Road's Lao Ban tau huey.

By then it was late afternoon and it was time for check-in at our hotel room at the YWCA. When I opened the door, I died a little. I swear it's damn pathetic HAHAHA We even had to use communal bathrooms.

Dinner at Tian Hao Yun near Mongkok. It's this tiny joint where you literally squeeze in one row with other people and have your meal. Apparently it's very famous.

Har gao, malay cake, and char siew bun (must order!!!)

Chee cheong fan, turnip cake.

The famous Mongkok, also where Ladies Street is located. Ladies Street is rubbish, a waste of time even going there. All they sell is overpriced tourists stuff. Better to walk further down where all the shopping centres are.

Forget where is this but the Mango Pomelo is frickin good! Just walk along Mongkok and you'll find plenty of food there!

And that's the end of Day 1. ;)
