Backward post no5: Day 11 @ HK

06/07/07 (Friday)
Today, SH, Thunder and I decided to go to Repulse Bay... followed by The Peak at night because the previous time we went to The Peak, we saw only the day view and not the night view...
As usualy, we took the KCR then changed to MTR to the Island Line..


The International Finance Center (IFC) building which is the tallest building in HK... We took a bus from the Exchange Square... heading towards Repulse Bay....
After very winding road up the hill, we realised we missed the Repulse Bay stop after 2 stops away... And we were at Stanley Market again! -__-
The weather was so warm! It was crazy.. we walked past this shop and saw some quite nice sun-dresses... so 3 of us bought one each.. of the same pattern, just in different colours! :) I got the orange one, SH got pink and Thunder got green... :P
Since we were at Stanley, we decided to go to the places we missed the other time we were here..- The Murray House
This building houses the Maritime Museum which we did not go into .. cause need entrance fee.. and not that interested in marine history anyway... it also has some restaurants in it... the building itself faces the sea... very nice view... blue sea, white clouds and green hills... with colourful boats bobbing in the water... :)

Behind Murray House, we saw a sign that sells Thousand Years Well.. so, we decided to walk in to explore...


The huge tree just beside the temple and the well is below the temple... Then we realised there were HUGE mosquitoes everywhere! and they were feeding on us! So, we RAN out of that place... We could have scared some tourists who wanted to go have a look..

Very nice cafes along the Stanley Market Road... this is the place we often see in HK dramas... very nice! especially this blue building called the Boathouse~

End of Stanley tour and we decided it's time to go up to The Peak.. at this time, we realised there is not direct bus from this part of the hill! We have to go all the way down to Central/ Wan Chai again and come back up to The Peak! how ridiculous... -___-

We took a bus down and then waited for another bus to go up... the bus stop is at a junction leading to a traffic light.. so, many vehicles stop right in front of us while waiting for the traffic light to turn green... while waiting, I was busy looking at nice cars that passed.. HK has very nice cars! Then, I saw a nice sporty blue Mercedes... As usual, I peeped at the driver and guess who I saw! Chan Kin Fung! If you watch HK dramas, you would know who he is.. But his car sped off too fast, I could not even asked Thunder to take a photo!

After waiting for the longest time, the bus finally came and we went up to The Peak.. tired and hungry.. had McD -___- cause it's the cheapest food around...

Went up and took a lot of photos! The night view was very beautiful! But there were sooooo many people around.. all fighting for a nice spot to take photos..

More photos taken in the building...
Me with HK nightview~
In the building...
Left The Peak at around 10+pm.. reached CUHK but missed the last shuttle bus.. Walked back to hostel again! o_O
