ENTERING HONG KONG! 🇭🇰 What is it like?

[Music] thank you [Music] [Applause] [Music] very much all right guys so good afternoon from Manila International Airport today we are heading to one of the most beautiful city in Asia Hong Kong we got our coffee we're ready to go baby [Music] thank you all right so finally seated let me have a sip of this coffee first today we are heading to Hong Kong it's our first time over there actually you know I've been there twice layovers though oh it's like when did you go to Hong Kong honestly we're super excited first time heading to Hong Kong a new series new country new city if you guys are wondering in what the process is like here at Manila International Airport it is very very easy honestly we just showed our passport went through immigration security and here we are they didn't even ask for anything yeah we didn't even get asked for our vaccination but it is nice to have it on hand just in case they do ask but other than that it's really easy to enter Hong Kong right now yeah because from what I read since April 1 you actually don't need rtpcr you don't need to quarantine you don't need nothing we didn't even fill out anything to enter Hong Kong here in Manila but we will see how it is when we land at Hong Kong yeah yeah we're excited it's gonna have our coffee and head on to our flight yes found it guys let's get it let's go to Hong Kong let's go [Music] I've landed at Hong Kong International Airport so two hours later we have finally landed here in Hong Kong all right guys so right now we're just filling out these arrival cards that you give to the immigration pretty basic stuff says your name password number Etc all right guys so we just passed by immigration super quick the process to get to Hong Kong come from Manila is super easy all you really have to do is fill out the arrival card in Hong Kong and then that's it yeah that's it you're good to go all right we got the goods so we got our suitcase uh we actually have three things to do before we're able to explore Hong Kong we need to get a SIM card an octopus card and we need to withdraw money exactly but first impression of this airport it's so big it's massive it's like a mall in here it's so modern we love it though it's good to be back traveling once again here in East Asia baby let's go alright guys so first things first we're obviously going to get a SIM card so we can stay connected and have Wi-Fi throughout our trip we're gonna get it here at 10 10. I'm not sure if it's 10 10 or one zero zero or what let's go see what they have let's go I see it says SIM card right here I'm sure you can get it cheaper outside the airport but we need it right now and it's convenient because it's at the airport yeah super convenient because it's at the airport this is 30 days 32 today is there like a limit per day total okay yeah all right guys so we finally got our SIM card it was super quick and easy it was 32 gig for 30 days for 98 Hong Kong dollars so it was equivalent to 15 Canadians pretty cheap and that's really good considering the fact that it's inside the airport yeah and it's unlimited data and you can also use it in Macau first task is done we got our SIM card now time to get our octopus card so we can ride the MRT or the train let's go [Music] okay so our second task is done we've got our octopus card and an octopus card allows you to ride the MRT the bus any kind of Transportation here in Hong Kong we actually booked this through pluke and when you book through poop your octopus card comes with 50 Hong Kong dollars inside and this card is reloadable so if you're wondering where you can redeem your octopus card it is in Hall a and at the arrivals counter Booth a13 so second Hat's done time to get some cash we don't have cash time to get some Hong Kong dollars okay so before we get cash let's see if their SIM card's working oh yeah when you go to 10 10 they actually set it up for you for free so that's really helpful no it's working okay cool I have 4G nice let's get it you can actually also get it at other shops here it's like 7-Eleven over there yeah but they don't set it up for you yeah you have to set it up for yourself so we got some Hong Kong dollars their money is really nice look at it yeah so this is 1 000 Hong Kong dollars and it was equivalent to 170 Canadian dollars [Music] thank you all right so I know we just got our octopus card for the MRT or the train but we're not gonna use it yet we're actually gonna take a taxi to get to our hotel because it's getting kind of late it's 6 30 p.m and we want to see the night light we want to see The Nightlife right away so we're gonna go check in and then we'll probably take the train to the city center of Hong Kong right now let's go get a taxi [Music] thank you foreign there's two types of tags in here there's a red one and then there's a green one the beginning we're like wait so gryffindoring we weren't really sure which one to take so if you're lost just ask one of the workers they're super helpful and we just showed them our hotel and they told us which taxi to take the red and the green takes you to different parts of Hong Kong let's go all right so 30 to 35 minutes later we finally made it here at our hotel God damn that taxi driver was so fast I think our taxi driver was a NASCAR driver yeah we were flying yeah it was faster than our plane it was about to take off that damn thing but anyways for 30 to 35 minute drive guess how much we paid guys we paid 200 Hong Kong dollars so it's equivalent to around 30 Canadian dollars or 1500 pesos PHP [Music] [Music] thank you all right so we finally made it here at shimsha Chui sorry if I'm saying that wrong but oh my gosh I can't wait to show you guys what's in front of us this is amazing I have never seen so many sky Tire life oh crazy because Hong Kong is known as the city with the most skyscraper in the entire world and to be standing it's pretty insane let me show you real quick check this out so first impression of Hong Kong so far so vibrant like I said I've never seen so many scrapers all together in my life so this is pretty insane to see I don't know if the video is doing it justice but it's really vibrant like I've never seen anything like it yeah and we've been to a lot of places we've been a lot of cities yeah and this tops them all it's just so gorgeous so colorful I know and honestly right now it's their springtime the weather is like perfect it is currently 18 degrees Celsius I'm not sweaty at all yeah it's sort of like Philippines weather but it's more Breezy if that makes sense like it's that you can wear a sweater outside yeah it's not as humid as the Philippines anyways check that view out behind us oh speaking of First Impressions the taxi drivers are NASCAR drivers here yeah damn that was our second accident he's still going slow down we were like maybe this taxi driver will take it easy no wait he was just as fast hey you guys love driving past yeah I like it we get to our destinations faster yeah so Jen and I just missed it but there is a light show that happens here every night at 8pm it's called the Symphony of Lights and basically it's just a light show with the buildings and everything um it's supposed to be super beautiful it is beautiful from what I've seen online but we just missed it because we took too long at the airport [Music] thank you foreign we're kind of struggling to find where to eat because all of the Staples that we wanted to check out like the famous spots here in Hong Kong are basically closed it's currently 9 40 p.m and they all close at 10. so that has to wait so the only thing open right now is ichiran ramen [Music] thank you all right so I know we said we were gonna get ichiron Ramen but on the way there we found this place right here and they sell like barbecue pork pork knuckle Hong Kong is known for their barbecue fork or Third charge Zoo so we're gonna give this place a try it's just like a corner restaurant and it looks like a mom and pop kind of restaurant so it looks really good so instead of getting you know ichan Ramen we're not in Japan we're gonna get something more authentic to Hong Kong [Music] thank you all right this is what we order right here so I got the barbecue pork with noodles and got a roasted pork and we also got some shrimp wonton soup thank you thank you it looks really good I got the the roasted pork in the picture um it doesn't look like it has yeah but I don't mind at all so this was 47 Hong Kong dollars each from forty two dollars to forty seven dollars a bowl so it's around eight dollars so not bad I'm just like wonton soup I'm pretty sure that's what it is like wonton soup with noodles and I have to use chopsticks again great and only use them in Japan this is a good idea this is really good really it's so tasty yeah all right so I got the barbecue pork I'm pretty sure the broth is gonna be the same if you didn't already Hong Kong is known for the barbecue oh my God that's really yummy the flavor kind of just exposed in your mouth yeah the meat is very juicy yeah and it's like soft it's not like too chewy it's just kind of smells in your mouth I think it's it's the flavor for me they marinated that so perfectly you're right it's a good idea try the pork [Music] I think I like yours better man it's like Shawn so yummy all right we're gonna give the shrimp wonton of China [Music] the flavor of that definitely one of the best wonton I've ever had wow [Music] [Music] first meal in Hong Kong very satisfied no complaints and I can't wait to eat more tomorrow how was the food for you your first meal in Hong Kong satisfied [Applause] [Music] why are we at 7-Eleven baby of course we need our desserts what is this of course it's just corn look at that so interesting it's like Pablo baby the bakery all right so my dessert tonight is a custard cream puff what'd you get baby I got green tea KitKat it's a full but I do want candy can we get this it's a great flavor we don't have that yeah we usually get the um the buggy green one but I've never seen great flavor so that's cool thank you [Music] thank you [Music] all right guys so we are back here once again at the harbor front before we go home kind of just admiring it one more time probably eat our dessert here foreign wow oh yeah that's in the spot 11 p.m but even though it's 11 o'clock there's a lot of people here yeah it's very live yeah but we're quite tired now and we're about to head home it's been a long day it's been an awesome day here though first day in Hong Kong obviously we're excited to see during the day as well
