Hong Kong Day 3
We got up super early to go for the Shenzhen tour. We found the tour guide at our hotel escalator and he told us that we were the only 3 pple going to Shenzhen! however, he said that on the other side, they may have made arrangements with other tour groups and we may not be the only ones there.
He only brought us to the train station, bought us the tickets, gave us instructions on where to go and said that this lady would meet us there and then left us. When we got to ShenZhen, the tour guide there told us that there was only the 3 of us!! Seems fun huh??!!?? We took a taxi and the lady was like trying to persuade us to pay for the optional tours..Xiaoyuan still has recollection of the place and said that it was nothing much so we decided not to go for it as it was quite expensive too..we rejected her nicely despite her persuading..from then, she became quite unfriendly and was complaining openly to the taxi driver and to her friend on the phone.. using 'waste time' 'waste money' blah blah blah in chinese, cantonese.hiyoh..not our fault right..we are only students and on a tight budget!! at one of the herb places we visited..there was a doctor there and i was kinda persuaded to get this medicine to help my digestion..hope it works!! it's quite expensive!!
Lunch came and gone and she sent us back to the train station..we went to walk at the shoping centre were i finally saw this bag that i liked..we bargained and waited for quite some time for the girl to find a new bag..unfortunately, we were walking back to the train station and went past this shop that also sold this bag..out of curiosity, qihui went to ask the lady how much she is selling the bag..uhoh..i think she suspected we bought that bag b4 hand and asked us how much we paid for..we deined buying the bag and the open price she quoted was the price i bought!! ARGH!! we rejected her and she lowered the price by RMB 20..and when we started to walk way she lowered by another RMB 20, and yet another RMB 20!!what the.........i got cheated~!!!! cry... dont think about it anymore..
the walkway between shenzhen and hong kong is much newer now..i remembered last time it wasnt air conditioned and it was very smelly..now there is air conditioning but there was still a little smell!! luckily it was only for a short period of time.. we went back to our hotel to put down our passport and waited for Irene to come and she brought us to Victoria Harbour as i wanted to see the laser show..we found a restaurant with a nice view and had our dinner there..the food was great!! she brought us to hotel penisula after that to take a look b4 heading back to hotel.. dunno y..probably the day didnt do alot of walking so qihui and i were quite active..so we both walked out whilst xiaoyuan stayed..
both of us wanted to find the street that Cat brought us that day but were unable to find it..oh..we also wanted to get this pair of shoes..sad..shop close le..we walked and walked and almost got lost b4 decided to consult the map..haha..we found our way out and happened to walk by this fruit juice stall..mmmmmm..the fruit juice was nice!! hee..we went back to the hotel realllly tired..............
