So day two of Hong Kong. Which is a fresh start for me since I arrived close to midnight the day before. Was really excited because I’ll be meeting up with Lorraine for Disneyland. We decided to head around Mongkok looking for breakfast before doing anything else since we estimated we’ll be stuck in Disneyland the entire day anyway.

After breakfast we met up with Lorraine at the Mongkok Station before we head to Disneyland via the same mode of transportation. Moona, Emily and me bought the special Disneyland pass which ALL the personnels from the MTR themselves insisted are not worth it XD; Oh well, it’s just for a keepsake you know

Random shots during the train ride. This has to be the cutest train I’d ever been on

After the 40 mins(?) train exchanges and rides, we were finally there!

DISNEYLAND @ MAIHAMA

Sam, looking a little puzzled XD;;

I refused to start a travel-log entry that starts with “We were late once more because I have problem waking up in the morning >_>” *coughs* ANYWAY, it was a fine fine morning we woke up to! Initially I didn’t plan to go to Disneyland on a weekend after the various comments of horror by several friends who had experience going to Disneyland prior. Disneyland = crowded. Disneyland during weekend = HORROR! But due to the fact Sam’s Japanese friend - Mitsuo knew that we wanted to include Disneyland as one of our crash stop… he asked whether we would like to join up with him and his friend walking around the place. We are of course, more than welcome that 8D

There were some communication the night prior so we were worried whether he did get our confirmation about going to Disneyland afterall ^^; Taking the subway to Maihama, we encountered a family that was having some sort of argument about which train and line to take. In English. Maybe the husband-wife pair spotted Sam and me talking in English among ourselves, she asked us for direction towards Disneyland. They’re tourist from Singapore so it feels like “HEEEYYY NEIGHBOURS!” for the moment though I’m still amused at how reluctant the husband want to ask for directions XD

Eventually after a long train ride, we reached Maihama. It as obvious where we were supposed to head to. Everyone were headed the same way anyway XD The crowds was HUGEEEEEE. I can’t describe how so many people can be packed in one place like that. But the crowd was superbly HUGEEEEEE. I’m terrified. I don’t look forward to queing up the entire day for probably just two rides at this rate. (more…)
