My first trip to Hong Kong was a spontaneous adventure, wandering aimlessly through the streets. It was an exhilarating experience, opening my eyes and mind to a new world. The most memorable aspect was the pleasant weather, perfect for strolling. We walked from four in the afternoon until one in the morning, resulting in blistered feet as souvenirs. Let's embark on our journey together.

This trip, we're going full backpacker mode. No plans, just plane tickets and a hostel near Tsim Sha Tsui station. Everything else, we'll figure out on the fly.
Through extensive inquiries, we gathered recommendations from numerous individuals regarding must-visit attractions and dining experiences. The overwhelming consensus was that an immersive shopping spree was an inevitable consequence of our visit.
One of the things everyone recommended was to try the congee and goose leg noodles. We want to say that we didn't follow any of the recommendations. We really want to hit ourselves. Anyway, it was a fun trip. We opened our eyes and opened our world. What we liked most was the weather in Hong Kong. It was cool and comfortable, and it was nice to walk around. We walked from four in the afternoon until one in the morning. We got swollen feet as a souvenir. Let's start the journey.
The writer describes their experience of waking up early to catch a flight at Don Mueang Airport in Bangkok. They were worried about potential delays due to road closures near the airport, but they arrived on time. The writer notes that the airport was crowded, especially with people traveling to Hong Kong and Myanmar.
Our Hong Kong itinerary was designed for budget-conscious travelers, allowing them to experience the city's top attractions without breaking the bank. We prioritized public transportation and walking over organized tours, and sought out affordable alternatives to expensive tourist destinations.
This year, we haven't had much time to travel (without work) as a couple. This trip could be considered a celebration of our 3rd wedding anniversary.

I've never arrived at the airport this early. The sky is so beautiful, I want to travel now!
The massive airplane was packed to capacity, with barely an empty seat in sight. Even though we arrived early, it seemed there were many other travel enthusiasts like us.

Upon arriving in Hong Kong and disembarking from the plane, we were immediately impressed by the airport's restrooms.
The space is incredibly spacious and clean, with a completely dry surface. It's perfect!
The following is a translation of the provided text from Thai to English, adhering to the specified guidelines:
"As mothers, we cannot overlook the importance of a clean and well-equipped bathroom for our babies. The floor should be slip-resistant to prevent accidents. I am truly impressed by the attention to detail."
The accessible pathways for people with disabilities, including the visually impaired, are well-designed, safe, user-friendly, and convenient. Our country should emulate this example.
In Hong Kong, it is common to see conveniently placed waste bins with clear waste segregation categories.
We will now proceed to the immigration checkpoint. Please follow the signs marked "immigration" and follow the crowd.

I'm confused. Where should we go? Our accommodation is in Tsim Sha Tsui. Please give me some suggestions quickly.
I understand that you want me to translate the sentence "Please Translate
Is there anything else I can help you with?
Let's go, get on the train. We're going into town.
The train is very clean and comfortable. Most importantly, people don't fight or push to get on.
Getting off the train, I initially planned to go to my accommodation first, drop off my luggage, and then go out for a walk. But since I was already so hungry, I changed my plans on the spur of the moment. Instead of getting off at Jim Sa Tsui, I decided to get off at Central Station first. An army marches on its stomach, after all. I woke up at four in the morning, and it's almost noon now. I'm starving.
Part 1 of our Hong Kong trip ends here. In the next episode, we'll take you on a relaxing stroll and enjoy a delicious first meal. Stay tuned!
