Trip to Tokyo day 2

22/12/2011

Itinerary of today:
Hotel Horidome Villa
Tokyo Disneyland 

Had a blast in Tokyo Disneyland today. Even I have been to Disneyland in HK for more than 10 times, I was still very excited coz Tokyo Disneyland is like 10 times larger than that in HK!  Had breakfast in a fast food shop early in the morning. The price was quite close to those in Hong Kong. Actually I think one of the greatest things for Japanese food is that, they are all served in good quality, even though it's only a fast food shop that you passed by! Then walked to Tokyo Station (東京駅) and took a train to Maihama Station (舞浜駅).

Hong Kong 1 day trip - Tap Mun

11/5/2011

Grass Island is a place not has been developed yet. You can feel like you are very much closer to the nature there. It was my second time going there. The most convenient way to get there is taking a train to University Station, then walk 10 minutes to Ma Liu Shui Pier and got a ferry (HKD28) to Tap Mun.

Short trip to Castfast Hotel, Donguan

14/5/2011- 15/5/2011

Bought a 2-day package to Castfast Hotel Donguan which included a one-bedroom suite, tickets for Long Feng Villa and 60-minute foot massage coupons. (HKD900 for 2) Not much expectation coz of the reasonably cheap price, but end up it was surprisingly great!

It was the first time living in a service apartment. Really spacious and cozy though the kitchen was actually useless coz there was no utensil at all. Couldn't cook there as well.
