Vacation at Hong Kong

I woke up at 5am on 30th of Nov. 29 of us including my uncle's liondance group members will be leaving for Hong Kong. Our plane took off at 8am so we had to reach the airport very early. I was happy that we were boarding SIA. I did not eat much for breakfast as I was already feeling queasy. It was a 3 1/2 flight.
When we reached there, my head was spinning, stomach was lurching and was nauseous. The weather was still fine there, not too cold. Our first stop was Ngong Ping Village. To reach there, we had to ride on a cable car for 1/2 hour. To make matter worse, there was no ventilation.
We then visited other attractions like Lan Kwai Fong. To our horror, we were staying in a hostel. It was passable inside, although the room was very small. You can't even change your clothes inside the toilet.
The next day, there was no bus to take us around. We had to ride on their MTR and public buses. The 29 of us were split into 2 groups. We took a bus to Stanley Market. Later, we went to Ocean Park. There were a lot people, we managed to play a few games. At evening, we rode on a cable car to get down. This was much better than the ride on the first day. I had an enjoyable time there. At night, we went to see a laser show at Victoria Harbour. The air was refreshing but it was tainted with cigarette smoke. One thing I can't stand is cigarette.
We left for Guangzhou the next day. We took a 2 hour train ride there.
