We decided to use a more direct approach today. We called the company and demanded to talk to the taiwanese in charge of the marketing team in Sophia Shanghai. Michelle answered our call and we told her directly that we wanted Sophia to change out in-charge marketing person, Fei Fei. We told her we would rather give up on the deposit than continue with the misery. Michelle realized that we are pretty upset. She told me to contact her directly in the future if there are any problems. For the sake of other expatriates in Shanghai, we really hope Michelle’s attitude can rube off on the locals.

Since signing up a package from Sophia at the wedding exhibition in April, we never get any calls from our marketing people. Nil… Nada !! So we decide to call up and ask WHO’s our MP! … and make an appointment to meet her today.

Alright… Fei Fei’s our MP. She’s not the first Shanghainese I’ve met with such a rotten personality. So arrogant, so defensive, so much to talk when bird shit splats on her. When we asked her to explain the package in more details, she was impatient. Her attitude was totally different from the taiwanese marketing lady from the same company that we met way back in April. At that point, we really regretted signing up with Sophia Wedding Studio. That same polite taiwanese maketing lady told us that any additional photos (in JPEG format) outside the 36 included in the package would usually cost RMB100. But she would give us a special price of RMB60/photo. However, Fei Fei told us that there is no way the company can offer RMB60 unless we add lots of photo. Damn!! We should have asked the taiwanese lady to add this term in our contract.

Given her attitude, we were really in a bad mood and not interested in talking to her anymore. We left feeling pretty down. We felt as if we had been taken for a ride!!

Hong Kong Disneyland has been causing a buzz since the opening last year, so I decided to check it out myself! Although it’s small, compare to Tokyo Disneyland , Hong Kong has most of the typical Disneyland theme and features such as The Disney Main Street, the Main raiway Station including the typical manicured Mickey Mouse entrance garden, Tomorrowland and Space Mountain, Safari cruise, a Carousel, and the Slepping Beauty Palace.

The park can be easily visited in a day, although that might not work in peak seasons. The longest wait was the Lion King show which took about 20 mins.

All in all, I would have to say it’s worth the visit.

Entrance fee to the park is HK $350 during peak season and HK $295 on off-peak season. You can take subway train to Sunny Bay station and change to the Disney train. If you go from Central it’s about 30mins trip and a HK $40 return.

Full detail for transportation to HK Disneyland .

I called this guy an “entrepreneur” because he’s doing his own business. And I called him a “creative entrepreneur” because he integrated the baby tram and the BBQ pit to form a movable stall! He fully ultilize the baby tram by placing a container in a baby seat to keep all his ingredients. What a great idea!

Bought a ferry ticket to Macau at HK-Macau ferry terminal. Get out from Sheung Wan MTR and follow the signs It’s just upstairs. There are some other ferry companies staff shouting everywhere for their cheap fares but I ended up buying a ticket from Turbojet. First, I don’t like people that approached me out of the blue and pursude me to buy something from them, secondly Turbojet have a whole row of counters ~ (haha).

HK-Macau = HK138 (economy class/weekday)
Macau – HK = HK142 (economy class/weekday)

Ferries going to Macau every half an hour. Don’t forget there’s no night ferries during weekdays.

You may want to change some MOP (Macau Pataca) in HK first and get some Macau maps at the ferry terminal. HKD is widely use in Macau but some small retail outlet only accept MOP. But MOP cannot use in HK! I suggest you take a bus to town, and it’s only cost MOP2.5 and you can go anywhere you want! From the first station to the last station, MOP2.5 (USD0.31). Save your Money for casino~~

The journey start at Largo do Senado (where I get down from the bus), the focal point of Macau’s historic centre. It’s pretty easy, just a few stops away from the ferry terminal. I’m a fan of Colonial Architecture and immediatly fall in love with this place at first sight!

The must eat… Macau pork burger! BBQ pork slice sells everywhere, it’s much much more bigger piece compare to other places like SG and MYS… and of course, the reknown Portuguese egg tart!

The must go place… First on the list: Sam Ba Sing Tzik!! Also known as St. Paul Catholic Church. The front facade and the grand stone stairs are the only remains of the greatest church in Macau! The architecture is simply magnificent!

St. Paul was designed by an Italian priest and was constructed with the help of the Japanese technology. Because of an indissoluble course, the church caught fire three times one after another and it was rebuilt again.

Some other attractions like Monte Fort (which is actually a shortened version of the fort’s full name: The Fortress of St.Paul of Monte) You will find a barracks for the fort’s troops, storehouses, water cisterns… etc.

Lastly… I know… the CASINO~

Again… I flew to HK. I love HK !! (An excuse to leave China?? @.@)

When flying to Hong Kong, don’t forget to look for the Giant bronze Buddha.

A world LARGEST Buddha statue (WOW~~~ ) sits cross-legged atop a green peak on Lantau Island with access via a very looooooong staircase. It was build using Bronze, 34 m tall and weight 250 tonnes. Take MTR to Ngong Ping 360 skyrail instead of bus. It involves a visually spectacular 5.7km cable car journey, travelling between Tung Chung Town center and Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. You will enjoy views over South China Sea, mountains and valleys on an amazing 20 mins experience. It cost HKD88 for a return skyrail boarding pass. They have "Journey of Enlightenment Package" which include a return way skyrail, "Walking with Buddha" ( a story on how an Indian Prince named Siddhartha become Buddha), and "Monkey Tale Theatre" which I think you can skip. It’s basically a comical show with special effects and surround sound.

Don’t waste time in the village. Go straight to the Buddha. You can stop by the village on the way back for a bite or something… There’s NO admission fees, but they will ask you whether you want to have you vegetarian meal included at Poh Lin Monastery. HKG60 per head and HKD 120 for a ‘high class’ vegetarian meal!!
