Since we decided to take Mandala as our flight to Hongkong, i didnt expect that much with this airlines, which I still had to buy foods and drinks on board the flight..
We departed from Soekarno Hatta airport around 6PM and we will reach Hongkong airport around midnight without any clear information about our accommodation place.
Yang kami tahu, tempat menginap kami adalah di Chungking Mansion dekat stasiun MTR Tsim Tsa Shui, dan menurut informasi yang saya dapat dari beberapa blog dan buku tentang gedung ini adalah gedung tua yang sedikit menyeramkan...
We landed on time di Hongkong dan selamat tentunya, melalui imigrasi yang tidak berbelit-belit, sangat efisien dan lugas (tanpa banyak tanya seperti halnya terjadi di negara lain)
We got out of the immigration with no problem cause we also have no luggage with us

Hongkong from my view
October 2010 was the best time to visit Hongkong and Macau, weather not that hot, little windy and very nice to walk thru...
So we (myself, mbak Eva, Arie, Ade and Bulan) has decided to go to Hongkong, Shenzhen and coming back home from Macau...
Mostly our preparation was only where to stay, where to go and what we gonna do... then I had read few books about Hongkong but more into detail on Claudia Kaunang's book about Hongkong, Macau and Shenzhen
As one of famous travel writer in Indonesia, I am sure i can trust on her books as my guidance for traveling, especially this time we will fly bit far from Indonesia.
Ticket done, and we finally bought tickets from Mandala Airlines with details as:
Jakarta - Hongkong -- by Mandala
Hongkong - Shenzhen -- by MTR
Shenzhen - Macau -- by Ferry
Macau - Jakarta -- by Mandala Air
Then i have browse where to stay and finally got on www.hostelbookers.com and www.agoda for Shenzhen... Done with down payment, print everything and check the review from www.tripadvisor.com
Now the money, we have decided for not too be impulsive and make it our own budget, I had exchanged the money in one of money changer in ITC Ambasador with good price of HK$.1 = IDR. 1,120
Finally we finished all the preparation and making appointment to meet in the Terminal 2, Bandara Soekarno Hatta...
