Just recently during the March holidays, my family and I went to Hong Kong and
ZhuHai(part of China) for a vacation. We arrived at Hong Kong's international
airport and we took a coach to our hotel in Kowloon. We took the Hong Kong map
and it provides every single detail of the streets and where is the best place
to shop in Hong Kong. The map was really useful to us as it helped us to find
our way back. On a night, we went to the famous 'Lan Kwai Feng'. It's something
like Singapore's Clark Quay. The stretch of ‘Lan Kwai Feng’ was very unique as
all the restaurants and bars were actually on a slope. It really amuses me. We
found a bar with beautiful ambiance and decided to have a drink there. There
was also live telecast of football and the supporters were cheering their
favorite team on. What really interest me was there were many foreigners there
were very 'high' at the bar. Some were topless despite the cooling weather
there. Some were wearing a hairband of a reindeer. Many passers-by took photos with them.
The following day, my family and I went to ZhuHai by a mini bus. I shared room with my sister and father while my mother shared the room with my grandmother. When we reached there we had sumptuous meal before heading back to the hotel to retire for the night. What was really shocking and interesting during this whole trip is that somehow we were 'robbed'. Before the sun rises, my father woke up and found his trousers on the floor near the door. He frantically checked for his belongings like handphones, wallets and cash and they were all missing. He called us up and I knew that my handphone was missing as well as I placed it on the dressing table. My phone was less than 2 weeks old! After that we checked the luggage and realized that our camera was missing as well. All the pictures from Hong Kong that we took were gone! We called our mother and informed the hotel staffs about it. I guessed we did lock the door, however we failed to ledge it. What my family suspect was that it was by the hotel staffs because only they had the access to all the rooms. However, they strongly denied that it was by them and refused to let us see the CCTV. We then reported the incident to the nearby police headquarters. They could not really do anything as well. Luckily we are able to claim the insurance. What really pity was that the photos were gone. Through this, we learnt a lesson that we need to ledge the door before we sleep. Somehow we were grateful that the 'robber' did not harm us. What would have happen if we woke up while the robber was flipping through our stuffs? I honestly could not imagine that. I reckoned we were all too tired to feel that someone was in the room. Luckily my mum had some money with her and we continued to shop despite feeling a little moody. We then take the coach back to Hong Kong International airport and returned to Singapore.
