Hong Kong Day 2: Ngong Ping Village

The night before our Day 2 Tour, I asked my hubby if he really wanted to go to Ngong Ping Village because if he wanted the cable car, there’s a cable car in Ocean Park. I was trying to persuade him I would not ride the cable car, but he really wanted to see the Buddha.

 I have three options:

1. Buy roundtrip package of cable car.
2. Ride bus (roundtrip).
3.  One way cable car ride then one way bus ride.


I chose option #3, but when we got there, I just bought the round-trip cable car ticket because it is faster and convenient than riding the bus, which has 50 50-minute travel time. $HK187 per adult and $HK94 per child, I find it expensive because all I wanted was a round-trip cable car, but I guess they are not selling it, so it is really better if you buy a ticket online or in CTS to avoid long lines and to avail discounted tickets. I don’t know what other inclusions of the Journey Enlightenment are because we only used the round-trip cable car.


As of this writing, I have just found out that the Walking with Buddha Tour and Monkey's Tale Theatre are included in my package. We avoid this tour because there’s an additional payment. I was so clueless, imagine I already paid for it and we did not avail this. I just checked my ticket and I noticed the WWB and MTT at the back of my ticket. Waah! #stupid.

Lesson learned: Always listen and read carefully. I did not listen to the girl who gave me the ticket; I just counted my change, said thank you, and walked away.

Anyway, the past is past. Let’s move to our cable car experience. It was a 25-minute cable car ride, but for me it seemed like forever. I did not sit beside my husband and son because I didn’t want to see the movement of the cable car while we were going up. I just read brochures to keep myself busy during the ride.

It was foggy, so we couldn’t see the beauty of Ngong Ping Village, and it was hard to take clear pictures without the fog. We ate a light lunch at Subway, and I bought a banana bread $HK17 at Starbucks.

Rain showers began to pour, so we had no choice but to stop and stay in souvenir shops. We’ve been waiting for so long, and we can’t continue with our tour. Whether we like it or not, we boughta  raincoat, $HKD25 for adults and $HKD20 for kids.

After Ngong Ping Village, we went straight to Buddha, and we climbed over 200 steps just to see the Buddha statue. It was a big challenge going up because I’m not very active, so I was gasping when we reached the top.

Then we went to Po Lin Monastery, no clear pictures again because of the fog, so we immediately went to Wisdom Path. Because of the fog, we were just walking slowly; it was a bit scary, but we still continued walking till we reached our destination.

ang layong lakaran, ito pala yun

According to Discover Hongkong site, Wisdom Path is a large-scale outdoor replica of an ancient Buddhist prayer called the Heart Sutra. The 38 wooden pillars that display the sutra are a symbol of the harmony of people with nature. 

We’re tired already, and it seems that the sky will not be clear anymore, so we decided to go back to the cable car terminal. I was thankful for the fog because I couldn’t see anything inside the cable car, so it was a smooth ride for me.

Shopping is not included in my itinerary, but we need warmer in order to survive the coldness of Hong Kong. We dropped by at the Citygate outlet and bought some clothes. We’re not prepared for this kind of weather, akala ko lamig Baguio lang.

No Symphony of Lights again because we want to sleep early. 

How to get to Ngong Ping Village from Nan Lian Garden:

From Diamond Hill Station, we took the MTR heading to Tung Chung Station; there are a few interchanges of train lines. Then go to the bus terminal or the cable car terminal, just behind the City Gate Outlet.

Hong Kong Day 2: Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden

Instead of visiting the most visited tourist spots in Hong Kong, I chose to visit Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden. I really included this in my itinerary to discover and explore some parts of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not merely for shopping and theme parks, but there are places like Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden where you can rest and relax. It is a garden in the midst of a busy city.
It is a public park, so there’s no entrance fee. It is so easy to go here, just take the MTR from Tsim Sha Tsui all the way to Diamond Hill Station. Then exit in front of Hollywood Plaza, and you will see some signs going to Chi Lin Nunnery and Nan Lian Garden.


I was really amazed seeing this 3.5-hectare scenic garden, and would you believe that every hill, body of water, rock, timber structur,e and plant has been placed according to specific methods and rules.



Every corner is picture-perfect but tripod is not allowed, so it is difficult to takea  family picture. I was thankful because one guard volunteered to take our family pictures.


From Nan Lian Garden, we went straight to Ngong Ping Village.

DIY Hong Kong City Tour

We’re lucky that our room in Yiu Fai Guesthouse was already available so we’re able to check-in early. After leaving our baggage we immediately went out to look for a restaurant where we could eat our lunch. Since we’re still not familiar with TST, when we saw McDonalds we did not think twice anymore.

I have to revise my itinerary because of the gloomy weather and occasional rain showers. Itinerary for the day: 1881 Heritage, Clock Tower, Avenue of Stars, Peak Tram and The Peak.

After eating our lunch we immediately started our walking tour since most of the tourist spots are walking distance from TST.

1881 Heritage: From MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit E walk going to Salisbury Road, turn right, and take subway, just follow the signs going to 1881 Heritage.



Clock Tower: From 1881 Heritage, take the pedestrian going to Hong Kong Cultural Centre. Then turn right and walk straight ahead towards the waterfront. The clock Tower is situated next to the Star Ferry Pier.



Avenue of Stars: Take subway again and walk to MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station, Exit J. Follow the signs going to the Avenue of Stars.


It was a long walk but we had fun even though there was an occasional rain shower.


After Avenue of Stars, we went to The Peak Tram. From TST, take the MTR going to Central Station and head to Exit J2, and follow the signs going to the lower Peak Tram terminus where you will ride Peak Tram. Good thing that I did not buy a package ticket because it is not advisable because of the fog so I just bought a roundtrip cable tram ride.

I’m afraid of heights so going up to the peak makes me so nervous.


We did not avail Madame Tussauds ticket because we’re not interested in the wax museum.
We went home early, ate dinner and rested. No more Symphony of Lights because we’re all tired.

Hongkong: Yiu Fai Guesthouse

When I purchased our plane ticket I already knew where we are going to stay so I did not research anymore for accommodation. Fast forward to May 2012, I made my reservation in Golden Crown Guesthouse but I was informed that they’re already full booked. 

 It seems impossible because my trip is November 2012 so I asked again ‘What month will reserve if my trip is on November?’ and they said “book 3-4 months before the trip”. I made my reservation again last August 2012 but I still got the same answer, “fully booked”. I was really worried because I know that it is not easy to look for affordable accommodation in Hongkong.

It became my dilemma for one week; I really wanted Golden Crown because of the location and price but too bad they’re fully booked. I can’t blame them because they are really popular guesthouse in Hongkong. 

 Thank God I found Yiu Fai Guesthouse, they are located at Golden Crown Building too so I did not hesitate to book a room. Reserving a room is easy, I just emailed them and I was told to deposit $HK400 via Paypal and the rest I will pay upon arrival.


If you love spacious room, hostel is not for you because the room is really small even the restroom is small. But we always travel on a budget so hostel is fine with us as long as we have a clean bed and clean restroom.



Likes

1. Good location. Walking distance to 1881 Heritage, Clock Tower, Avenue of Stars, Museums, Restaurants, Shopping stores and MTR.
2. Free Wi-Fi
3. They have hot and cold water dispenser so you can save on water.
4. They change toiletries (toothbrush and toothpaste only) and towels every day. 
5. You can leave your luggage.
6. Affordable

We stayed here for two nights before we transfer to Disney's Hollywood Hotel.

HKIA: Hong Kong International Airport

Our Cebu Pacific flight is 7AM, so I pre-booked meals one week before our trip; I ordered Black Peppered Chicken and Chicken Rendang for P350 each. We just ate a light breakfast at the airport. 

 I was a little bit disappointed because we waited so long for our meals. I’m sure you are aware that Cebu Pacific sells food during flight, and I waited till they reached my place before they gave us our pre-booked meals, and we are seated at #22, so imagine the long wait from seat #1.

Black Peppered Chicken P350 Chicken Rendang P350

I thought they would serve pre-booked meals ahead of time, just like in Air Asia. Air Asia distributed all pre-booked meals before selling food to all passengers who had not ordered.

 Anyway, we were also disappointed with the food because the taste is so-so; we just finished everything because it is expensive for P350, and we’re really hungry. How I wish we could just eat heavy meals in DMIA or HKIA.

After 1 hour and 55 minutes, we landed HKIA. I’ve been in a few international airports and HKIA is one of the biggest airports that I’ve seen so far.

Imagine there’s a train inside the airport, and we need to ride the train to get to the other side, where we will pick up our luggage. I was excited for my son because this was his first train ride experience.

On your way to the immigration and luggage area, do not forget to get maps and brochures, they are everywhere in the vicinity and it is free. 

 After picking up our luggage, I looked for the Customer Service Counter to buy our Octopus Card and China Travel Services (CTS) for our discounted tickets, but unfortunately, I couldn’t find the CTS. 
$HK150 - adult $HK70 - child 

I did not bother to find it anymore, and off we went to the bus station. We rode the A21 bus going to Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) Fare: $HK33. 

 Our initial plan is to visit Ngong Ping Village, but because of the rain showers we decided to go straight to Yiu Fai Guesthouse to check in our luggage.

DMIA

As I mentioned in my other post I booked Clark to Hongkong and Macau to Clark last January. Our first DMIA experience was last year; you can read the story here and now is our second time but this time we went to Clark via commute.

Since our flight is 7AM, I searched for cheapest accommodation in Clark and I found Tune Hotel. I immediately reserve a room so we could still rest before our flight. Tune Hotel is 10 to 15 minutes away from the DMIA (Clark International Airport).

(Five Star Bus) Pasay to Dau – P150 per person
Dau terminal to Tune Hotel – P150 (we have no idea about the rate but I guess P100 is enough, so haggle if you can). 10-15min travel time.

From Tune Hotel going to DMIA, you have 3 options;

1. Booked Europcar transport service for P350 one way, which we did.
2. Taxi to DMIA
3. Jeepneys. You can ride a jeepney from Tune Hotels to friendship terminal. From friendship terminal you have to cross the street going to main gate terminal and take a jeepney going to DMIA. It is 2 jeepney ride to reach DMIA from Tune hotels.

How to get to DMIA:

1. Bring your own car and park in DMIA

DMIA Parking fee: P30
Security fee: P90 per day

2.  Ride Philtranco bus in Pasay or Megamall

Fare: P400 in SM Megamall
          P450 in Pasay

3. Ride bus from Pasay to Dau (Five Star)  P 150
Jeepney to Clark Terminal  P8.50 /Tricycle from Dau to SM Clark P70 (Special)
Jeep from Clark to DMIA    P250 (special)

Other Information

Travel Tax: P1620 for adult
                      P810 for children + P200 processing fee for reduced tax = P1010

Terminal Fee: P450

Foreign Exchange:

A week before our trip, I told my husband to go to BPI to reserve Hongkong Dollar, we could reserve but it is subject to availability. It was too late for me to reserve in Czarina Foreign Exchange because I did not know that they have branch in Alabang Town Center. My last option is to bring peso to exchange in HKD at DMIA or withdraw money in HKIA.

I don’t know if HKD is available in DMIA or if foreign exchange is open as early as 5AM, I’m just taking my chances. Good thing that Foreign Exchange is available so I was able to buy Hongkong Dollar as early as 4:30AM, rate is P5.7 = 1HKD which is a good rate compared to HKIA which is P6.1 = 1HKD.

Before we leave I asked my friend to check if we can use our ATM in Hongkong and she said that BPI ATM card needs to be activated so you can withdraw abroad. My husband card is good for international use while my card needs to be activated, I can call or go to my branch to have it activated. $2.5 is the international charge if you withdraw.

The money that I brought is not enough for six day so I really need to withdraw. This is the first time that I will withdraw outside the country so I was really worried, what if my card fails, how we can survive. I used my BDO ATM card in Hongkong (HSBC) to withdraw money and when I checked my account the rate is P5.34 = 1 HKD and international charge is P140+, it is better than buying HKD. (automatic ang BDO ATM card no need to activate).

Though DMIA is not as big compared to NAIA, I still love this airport because everything is fast and smooth from exchanging money, checking-in, paying travel tax and terminal fee, immigration line and most of all there is no delay flight.

Tune Hotel Clark

If you still remember my post last January, I booked a Manila to Macau flight during the P1 seat sale of Cebu Pacific, but unfortunately, my booking was forfeited because I was not able to pay for it on time. It was too late for me because I did not know that I could pay my ticket via BDO online.

But I did not lose hope, so the following day, I checked the website again to see if there were still available P1 fares, but unfortunately, there were no more P1 seat sales.  I’ve been meaning to visit Hong Kong, so I checked Clark to Hong Kong and I was able to book our flight. I know it’s weird because I live in South Luzon and DMIA is in North Luzon, but we have tried it before when we went to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia. Since this is a promo fare, it would not be expensive even if I add the gas and tollgate, I only paid P2,200.50 for 3 people, Clark to Hong Kong.

But a few months before our flight, my husband decided not to bring the car to DMIA because he’s not comfortable leaving our car for six nights. It was a problem because we had to commute all the way to DMIA. If he said that he will not bring the car, I will not book Clark to Hong Kong and Macau to Clark.

Our flight is at 7AM, and I know it would be difficult for us to commute, so I searched for the cheapest accommodation where we could sleep the day before our flight. I tried Oasis Hotel before when we went to Hot Air Balloon Festival, but it is beyond my budget. I was glad that there was a Tune Hotel here in the Philippines. 

I saw this hotel in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, and I know that it is not expensive, so I booked last August for one night, P957.36 (room + 12hrs use of AC and toiletries). So if you are looking for affordable hotels or cheap hotels near Clark Airport or DMIA, I can definitely recommend this. 




Fast forward to our trip, we went to my husband’s office to park our car, but God is so good because he saw one of his colleagues, and he dropped us off at the Five Star Bus Terminal. #tipidsataxi. We rode a bus going to Dau Terminal, then from Dau Terminal we rode a tricycle going to Tune Hotel.

Pasay to Dau – P150 per person x 2 = P300
Dau terminal to Tune Hotel – P150 (we have no idea about the rate, but I guess P100 is enough, so haggle if you can). 10-15min travel time.

They allowed us to check in as early as 12NN, and I had no idea that we could not use the TV because it was not included in my add-ons, so I paid an additional P130 so we could use the TV.


Hubby bought food in Jollibee, one jeepney ride away from Tune Hotel, fare is P8. The Hotel guard is convincing my husband to ride a tricycle for P150, and he said no, then binabaan pa sa P100. Hello, P8 compared to P100. (may commission yata si manong guard sa mga tricycle driver dun).

Since we do not want to go far anymore, 7-11 for our dinner. It is within walking distance of Tune Hotel.


The day before our stay in Tune Hotel, I booked a transport service for P350 (one-way trip from Tune Hotel to DMIA), but unfortunately, when I confirmed our service, it was not booked. Imagine if I did not confirm our transport service, we would be waiting for nothing. But they immediately called Europcar for our service. Other options are a taxi or 2 2-jeepney ride, but I chose the transport service just to be safe since we need to leave at 4:30AM.

The Not So Fun Part of Traveling

Hi, I’m back from our recent trip, if you guess Hongkong then you are right. We’ve been in Hongkong and Macau for the last six days and I just came back today. Yes, I was excited to blog again, so many stories and photos to share. We really had fun because this is our first longest vacation ever. But we also experienced some mishaps during our trip.

1. I left my keys in Disneyland Hollywood Hotel. I opened the luggage, put our toiletries and lock it then I forgot to get my keys on the floor. #nagmamadali.  Buti na lang mumurahin yung padlock ko at nabuksan ko kahit wala susi. But this reminds me to invest on good locks. 

2. We went to Hotel Sintra to get our luggage and my son immediately remove his socks and shoes and when we’re going out already, we can’t find his socks. #maymulto.

3. And just today I almost lost 1 handcarry bag.

Me: (talking to FA) Miss, may kumuha ng bag namin, nawawala yung isa.
FA: Mam, mahahabol niyo pa yun sa luggage area then she informed one Cebu Pacific staff about what happened.

We immediately went out but I was losing hope already when I saw the long lines in the immigration. One by one people get their luggage and went out. When we reached the luggage area we asked the Cebupac staff.

Me: Sir, kamusta na yung handcarry namin.
Cebupac Staff: Mahirap ng mahabol yun mam. Hindi na makukuha yun.
Me: Ganun lang yun?

Nakakainit ng ulo, akala ko mag-ala Claudine Baretto na ko sa airport. At that moment, I really understand Claudine, imagine ni katiting na concern wala yung Cebupac Staff na yun at excited ng umuwi. We wanted to file incident report and he said, he will be back pero lost at di na bumalik.

Bad thing: CebuPac staff gave us false hopes. Wala pakialam sa nawawala namin bagahe. ni hindi nga inannounce kung tutuusin pwede maharang yun dahil pababa pa lang lahat ng tao sa plane at mahaba pila sa immigration.

Good thing: Honest yung nakadampot ng bagahe namin at hinintay kami sa labas para isoli yung nakuha nila na gamit namin. Hay, good luck na lang sa isa dun na nawawala yung checked-in luggage niya.

Lesson learned:  Paghinto ng airplane kunin agad gamit kahit makipagsiksikan sa pagkuha.

Lunch at BonChon Chicken

One of the disadvantages of living outside Metro Manila is I can’t try new restaurant unless they will open a branch here in South. Don’t laugh at me if I say that I have just tried the famous BonChon Chicken. As I mentioned before I redeemed my J.Co Gift Certificate and I saw Bon Chon few steps away from J.Co store. My husband ordered Thigh Boxed Meal for P145 which include 2 pcs chicken (one soy garlic and one spicy glaze) rice and regular drink.



The chicken is tender, juicy, flavorful and super crispy and my son really loves the crispy chicken skin. I prefer the soy garlic chicken because I can’t take the spiciness and hotness of the spicy glaze. 


 Update: After three weeks, we ate at BonChon again, we ordered Team BonChon Group Meal P645.  We're really hungry, I forgot to take pictures. 
1 Medium Chicken Box
1 Chapchae
2 Sides (Regular fries/Kimchi Coleslaw)
4 Rice

4 regular Soda/Iced Tea

J.Co Donuts

I’ve been reading and hearing good reviews about this donut but I haven’t tried it yet because the branches are too far from where I live. Actually, I have P500 J.Co Gift Certificate which is part of my May Winnings but it was only today that I redeemed it when I’ve learned that they have branch in Alabang Town Center.

It seems that this donut is really yummy because of the long line, as in hanggang labas ng store ang pila. I checked the J.Co Facebook page and wrote all the flavors that I want to try but unfortunately, not all flavors are available.


I ordered 1 dozen of Alcapone and 1 dozen of assorted donuts. It took me 32 minutes to finish my business here but I was still happy because I only paid P50 for 2 dozen of donuts.




Assorted Flavors: Berry Spears, Heaven Berry, Tiramisu, Don Mochino, Blue Berrymore, Choconuttzy, Oreology, Hazel Dazzle. 
On our way home, we ate Alcapone donut and my husband said, “ay ampaw” because if you will bite the donut you will see this gap. The donut is P42 per piece so I wasn’t expecting this.


In fairness, we like the Alcapone donut because it is soft and not sweet, unlike other donuts. As demand increases, I hope the size, quality, and presentation of the donuts will not suffer. I don’t think I will fall in line again for 32 minutes just to buy this donut.

Blogging Days are Over

I started this blog last year so I’m blogging for 21 months only so I was really surprised when I found out that I’m out of space already. I checked my Picasa web albums and lo and behold, I already used the 99.98% of my free storage. I was thinking if my blogging days are over, of course, I can still blog but creating a post without pictures is not my thing. My blog name is Michi Photostory and there should be a photo.

I was sad at that moment because the only option I know is buying new storage for:

25 GB
$2.49 / Month
25 GB for Drive and Picasa
Bonus: Your Gmail storage will be upgraded to 25 GB.

100 GB
$4.99 / Month
100 GB for Drive and Picasa
Bonus: Your Gmail storage will be upgraded to 25 GB.

$2.49 per month is quite expensive for me because I’m a full-time mom. If I will upgrade my storage, I have to pay $29.88 a year + $10 for my domain; it is $39.88 a year. This is not my only blog; I have three blogs so if I will buy new storage this will be an expensive hobby and I guess blogging is not free.

I know there are still other options and buying new storage is my last resort. I searched the net for possible options and thanks to my dear readers for all the suggestions.

 1. According to Ning of Nurse’s Diary I can use Photobucket. - I’m not used to Photobucket because I feel that it’s too complicated so I chose Picasa because I’m not techy. Picasa is user friendly and I can easily edit and watermark my photos. But this is a good option to upload photos on my blog.

 2. It also happened to Joy of Joy’s Notepad so she bought new storage for $2.50 per month.

 3. Jo of Sapphire Mommy suggested “asking my hubby to sponsor my hobby”. 

 4. Tin of The Average Jane informed me to contact one blogger because it also happened to him.

I know I can’t just stop blogging because like I’ve said before this is my “me time” and blogging is already part of my life. I’ve been thinking about it and I guess I need to pay $2.49 per month just to continue my hobby but God is so good because I’ve found the answer.

Free storage limits

Picasa Web Albums offers 1 GB of free storage for photos and videos. However, files under certain size limits don't count towards this free storage limit. This applies to uploads for other Google product that store photos and videos in Picasa Web Albums, including Blogger, Google+ and Google Maps.

Free storage limits

Photos up to 2048 x 2048 pixels and videos up to 15 minutes won't count towards your free storage.


Automatic resizing

All photos uploaded in Google+ will be automatically resized to 2048 pixels (on their longest edge) and won't count towards your free storage quota. 


Note: If you reach your storage limit when uploading from the Picasa desktop software, you'll only be able to upload at free storage sizes. Larger uploads will not be automatically resized to the free storage limit.

 Now, I’m busy resizing my photos and deleting unnecessary photos in my blog. It was an arduous task because I have 500+ posts but I’m willing to do it than paying $2.49 per month. Now, I’m down to 89% so I can post photos again. I know time will come that I will need to buy new storage but not now and not anytime soon. From now on, I will resize my photos before uploading it.

DIY Christmas Wreath

Christmas is just around the corner so now I’m starting to decorate our home. If you’ve been reading my blog you know that I don’t decorate as early as November but I notice that my son loves seeing Christmas decorations. Some of our neighbors have Christmas decors outside their home and whenever my son sees decors he always says “mommy, look Christmas lights”, “mommy, wow Christmas tree”, or “mommy, look happy Christmas” etc.

Last weekend, I bought this wreath for P139, I don’t know if it is cheap or expensive. I did not buy any decors because I will reuse my old Christmas ornaments. I’m not very creative so I just put flowers, balls and Santa Claus. I use 3M hooks to hang our Christmas wreath so I don’t have to drill anymore.


This is the first Christmas wreath at home because I usually put Christmas Stockings.

According to Wikipedia, “Wreaths are used as household ornaments or Christmas decorations to celebrate the birth of Christ. They are usually made from evergreens and symbolize strength, as evergreens last even throughout the harshest winters.”
