Precautionary warning on return of covid 19 and other related viral infections

Wheels of Happiness

"Health is wealth.  As I took the public transportation today, this post wore face mask.   Because, friends warned me Covid maybe back.   Coupled with rising number in HK and Singapore:

     1.  Friends in the memorial business are noting rising number of deaths due to respiratory, pneumoniia
          like causes;
     2.  Diagnostic centers  are reporting positive csses of covid 19
     3.   N pox too

So be careful when in public places. Wear face masks in crowded places Social distncing, Handwashing. Get yourself a vaccinations vs covid 19.  

  The DOH may not want us to panic and/or re following orders not to mention report covid 19 again under this administrations. Nor spend again on vaccines

Went on vacation on a shoppers paradise and stayed for one week; we missed out on several things; we shoud have viewed many blogs

Wheels of Happiness

We went on a vacation on a nearby city, a British now Chinese colony for a week  This was spoiled by 4 typhoons that were left over from the principal.  We had to stay for two days, sans activities for two days  We missed the following (we were handicapped by having an infant with us, so we could not really move around a lot, or go to budget hotel or eating places:)

1.   The HK100 touist coupon upon arrival at HK tourism booth at the HKIA.  That would have been HK$600 = x 7.55 =  P4530.00

2.  We should have done with the FX:

    1.  Exhcanged here at PHL
    2.   Brought in USD and then exchanged for HK$.  Many blogs said you get more this way;

3.  The Octopus which would look cheaper than buying the one day pass,  You get a HK39.00 refund upon departure.

4.  The ride to Victoria peak

5.  The cable car ride;

6.  The parks:   there are several in Kowloon

7.  The street food at Mong Kok and Kowloon

8.  SIM should have been bought from Lazada, rather than HK, and just one.  We could have done with hotspot

9.  We could have gone stayed at Hotel at Citygate (say Novotel) which are cheaper, and gone to Macau at via buses at same place

It is important to researrch prior to a trip and planning done earlier to maximize expenditure
