Hong Kong Trip Jan 2007 - Day 1

Day 1
Took a flight from singapore to hongkong via jetstar ($398) Flight time was over 3hr 20mins due to short delay at the runway. Our arrival time at hongkong was delayed by 20mins. Reached hongkong about 8pm.








Arrival when ahead and collect my Airport express card (3 days unlimited MTR / 2 way train ride - bookin online is cheaper) At the station customer service booth next to the train door (i do remind you that their mandarin can be quite atrocious at times thankful i speak cantonese), While jon got his octopus card at the MTR booth just infront of the arrival door .









Took the AEL to Central Hongkong station (20mins) then transfer a free shuttle bus to the hotel. It pass by about 5 hotels before reaching to our hotel (excelsior in causeway bay).
