Hello! its been so long since I made a blogpost and this time I want to share you my experiences visiting Hong Kong! I think this my first time sharing my travel stories in my blog and I'm excited!

If you've visited my blog before, here I used to wrote about emotions and inner healing but then life happens so fast and I got distracted ( I'm very easily distracted help!) I'am mostly doing work for my clients to support my life and pursuing my singing and dancing passion and other things thats why :'(. But I have so many thing I want to share you in the future maybe after I finish my music project, I wish to write more about my emotional healing progress that seems work well for me, perhaps it can be beneficial for some of you too.

Back to the topic, I decide to make a blog post about it because I took many pictures of things that amaze me and I want to show, like 200 something XD that's why its impossible to upload all in instagram right? so, here it is my HK experiences during Christmast and New Year 2018 to 2019!

Part 1. Transit at Singapore Airport

This is also my first time having quite a long transit time, around 7 hour, I arrived at Singapore at 11 PM, and flight to HK at 6 AM so I gotta spend the night at Changi Airport Singapore. I'm traveling alone from Bali to HK and back, I'm gonna meet my aunties and cousin at HK airport though, they were traveling from Japan. I wasn't that sleepy because I'm too excited, and  i've been sleeping late lately due to work, too much energy and watching drama :P , so I just wandering around the airport that have heaps of interesting thing to check. I walk around terminal 1,2,3 visiting the movie theater ( just take a look because its dark and creepy to be there alone in the middle of the night), the shops, the restaurant, the park, the butterfly park and they also have some interesting interactive display. By 2 AM I finally got tired, i checked some lounge, the one I visited was Ambassador, the price is 58 SGD including shower,foods, wine and champagne, but I think because I'm mostly vegan and not drinking, it's not worth it for me to spend the money, so I brush my teeth, change my contact lenses into glasses and washed my face in the toilet, then I checked some snooze lounge and find a very nice sofa under the shade with some plants around me with airplanes under the night skies views in front of me at Terminal 3, next to me were some other empty sofa and another travellers who already fell a sleep, I put my backpack under my feet, set an alarm, charge my phone and put it behind my back, I put my jeans jacket over my head and sleep.

Surprisingly I had a deep sleep and woke up around 5, after freshen up I walked into my departure gate, some people there were sleeping, I am feeling quite fresh so I continue watching Cantabile Tomorrow (Korean version of Nodame Cantabile) in my i pad which is so funny and made my heart fluttered while munching some biscuit i bought in vending machine, until its time to board.

Part 2. Hong Kong!

I'm flying with Singapore Airline which allowed me to pre-booked vegan meals that made me very happy, there were a couple of options: Indian, Western, Chinese and just fruits. The flight was comfortable, like always with SQ as far as I experienced. I bought the ticket during promo so it was around 4,2 million IDR for Bali-HK return ticket which I think was a really good deal! after 3,5 hour of smooth flying I arrived in Hong Kong airport, all this time I just feel very excited like I'm in some kind of drugs..haha, but i never used that kind of drugs so maybe like i'm in sugar high or chocolate high.

When I arrived, I feel stunned with the views of mountain background at the arrival gate windows and the cold breeze, they made me feel enthusiastic because they're something different than what I used to see and feel back home in Bali. I queued in the immigration and saw so many MANY people that I ever seen in one place, please know that I live in Ubud which is a village where there is not that much people there, well maybe Ubud Center during Ogoh Ogoh Parade is the one that can compared. and then I queued while people watching x) they were some cute kids with their mom and dad, and pretty girls with interesting fashion style, some pretty boys and many many other interesting people. When its my turn, the immigration officer check my documents and asked if i travel alone, I said yes but my family is here, and then he want to see my return flights details, after I gave it to him, he stamped my passport and said happy holidays! I Thanked him and walk to fetch my luggage.

I waited for my family to arrived, they will arrive 45 minutes after me. I wait while people watching, thats my main activities during the trip I guess x), I watched how people dressed and interact with each other in a language I don't know and thats amuse me. When my family finally arrived we went to the MTR, thats how it is there, not MRT, and go to the Central Hong Kong to check in.

Well because I traveled with my family, I got really lucky to be able to stay at such a beautiful hotel in city center that I won't be able to easily afford if I pay it myself, Hong Kong is quite expensive compared to Indonesia. Therefore I feel really thankful, I thank God hundred times during my trip because its truly feels amazing for me, He had blessed me beyond my imagination through my aunty. I told God and my spirit guide that I want to stay present all the time and enjoying this very moment and I felt so many sweet and warm emotions that sometimes made me teared up too.

In Hong Kong, I enjoyed the cold weather (16 C- 10 C), do a lot of walking, window shopping, eating some delicious chinese foods,queueing (for toilet and Disneyland ride) people watching, sleeping, relaxing at the hotel hot pool and repeat, It's kinda a very chill and relaxing type of travel that apparently I enjoyed happily X) I didn't got a chance to explore the tourist spot much, perhaps I will go back in the future to see difference side of Hong Kong to explore further.

For me as a short visitor the city is beautiful, the ocean views, streets bursting with colours at night, street musician giving beat box performance, colorful buses, people wearing stylish winter clothing, people crossing the road like a herd of animals in Africa, tall buildings, more advance technology applications, different kind of sounds, colors, taste and smells. I'm not sure if i find something that made me feel deflated there during my trip, oh perhaps when I saw peking duck, or Shark Fin soup, I just wish and pray people everywhere in the world will switch to plant based meal because it's good for our health, animals and environment too. LOL this post quickly turn into vegan campaign.

Anyway my favorite things about the city is the cold weather that isn't too cold, the wide sidewalks where I can walk comfortably and even do some random dancing and the fact that in city center there is an airport express that allowed me to check in my baggage in city center, so I can just walk lightly with just backpack with MTR to the airport and meet my luggage at Bali, I think its so convenient!

The city feel like a future for a villagers like me :D overall its a very exciting experiences to visit new place that I never been with different weather and culture from my home (Ubud). Oh and I don't think I'll ever ride a taxi if i go there by myself because it could cost millions rupiah
