My photos from Macau, Guilin, Yangshuo and Hong Kong uploaded. 12-20 Dec 08.
Macau -is a boring city - nothing but casinos.

Ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral
Guilin - scenic but sandy.

Cruising on the Li River
Yangshuo - laid-back small town - just a night will do.
Impression of Liu Sanjie - nightly performance, similar to Songs of the Sea on Sentosa Island but this is in a grand scale produced by Zhang Yimou
Rice terrace in Longji

Bamboo rice - must try
Zhuang Minorities - cutting their hair for the first time at an age of 18 
View of Guilin City from atop Fubo Hill

Elephant Trunk Hill
Hong Kong - sick of it. Nothing but Mongkok, Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.
Giant dazzling christmas tree in Central

HSBC building

Just got back home after 9 days of touring macau, shenzhen, guilin, yangshuo n hong kong. My feet has turned so sore from all de long walks. Mini version of de long march by mao zedong's red guards? haha. Oh, i bought mao's little red book, not tat i am a supporter of communism, but just for pleasure readings.
bought many stuff. AX sweater from lan kwai fong in hk was my fav. bought it cos it was much cheaper than in sg. onli S$110.00. got a winter jacket, jeans n shoes from guilin underground market. all cheap cheap. and the eats. happy shopping, happy me. better than seeing those sceneries.
still, i miss japan so much. those MIC people seriously CMI. Crude, pushy, loud as usual. jiang shan nan gai, ben xing nan yi. And i was almost being refused entry all thanks to my passport photos. even the new attached photos don't look like me.
going cousin's house later in pasir ris.
shall upload pics later here n on facebook.

Skipped breakfast but bryan sneaked one cup of yoghurt up for Mi lol. Went KLCC. Forgot wat we had for lunch. Though we ate A&W during tea time. Waffles wif butter & honey syrup.
Curly fries
Singapore's A&W did not sustain because of 2 main reasons:
1) poor placing (location);
2) Lack of advertising unlike Mac which, at dat time, was building up its empire in sg.
Same old christmas tree at KLCC
