05/12/08: Full Day in HK
went out early morning for dimsum at a local teahouse with the tour grp. all the xiao long baos, siew mai,shui jing baos, char siew baos etc.. nt bad la.. tho nt as good as expected.. some of the singapore ones actually taste better (the chefs oso come from hk de mah.) but i guess its the atmosphere and ambience bah.. something u wud normally only see in a hk drama.. now playing in front of you.. thats where the kick is.. :)
moved on to hk convention centre where they had this golden flower that china presented to hk when hk rejoined china.
some pics:

We then moved off to stubbs road for a bird's eye view of the city area.. quite nice, i mus say..
the sign shows where all the major buildings are.
a view showing all three of the tallest building in hk. the one wif a pointy top (3rd tallest in hk), the black one wif 2 pointy tops (far left, 2nd tallest in hk) and the one tat looks like a highlighter (left side white) which is the tallest in hk..
We then set off to Repulse Bay Beach, Qian Shui Wan. The scenery is quite beautiful, really fine sand.. and its NATURAL! gosh! like a natural vers of siloso beach!
