Hong kong Trip - 22 Feb 2012

Flight to Hong Kong at 1550hrs, reached Hong Kong at round 2000hrs?
Not sure what time we reached, but according to the schedule, we were suppose to reach around 1940hrs
Flight for jetstar cost $372 with 15kg baggage. Additional $60 insurance bought for 2 person.

↓ Singapore Airport



Thought of taking bus but, not sure where to alight and how to go to our hostel, so I decided to take their Airport Express train service to "Hong Kong", there, transfer MTR from "Central" to "Mong Kok".

Follow the above to reach our hostel. We bought food from Airport before going to hostel, Crab porridge. Tasted not bad and even though the long journey to our hostel, the porridge was still hot.
