Most of my friends know only the structured side of me which i believe is quite dominant. However, i do have a spontaneous component In split second, i still remember when i had decided to join a group tour to Macau, Hongkong & Shenzhen last year. I saw the package was so cheap so i didnt have a second thought about it. I filed my VL then the next day i packed my things and headed to the airport. i only knew one person from the group and it was like u were with foreign tourists because the rest were from Pampanga, they use their provincial dialect and when they talked to me thats the only time they spoke in Tagalog. When we arrived in Macau, the tourist guide was waiting for us and only there where we learned who joined the tour although we flew on the same aircraft....we were 13 not a good number for Chinese BTW, the plane was not high tech (eg. jet) it was profeler aircraft no wonder the package was cheap anyways it wasnt the worse plane i ever experienced. Then the hectic itinery begun...we had a compulsary itinerary. the travel agency brough us to Disneyland Hongkong...various museums then to jewel factories, silk factory, store selling tea, even beauty creams gosh all for tourist prices. We wanted to go to where the cheapest stores are but they wont let us change the itinerary. Only the last day they gave us option to pay the travel agency HK$100 each of us for them to bring us to cheap markets. Ow, in case you travel there pls note that in Hongkong most stores dont accept Chinese dollar only Hongkong dollar and vice versa...so if you go to Hongkong and planning to go as well in Shenzhen just take note of different currency. Otherwise, u will lose a lot on forex transactions.
