From HuaLien, we set off to Kenting. Again, I can't remember the duration of the trip. 2-3 hours perhaps? Maybe less than that. LOl.
Then we'd to buy a ticket from behind the "7-eleven" store (There's a ticketing counter) to take a bus down to Kenting. It was another 1-2 hours ride.
The driver dropped us at the streets of Kenting and ta-da, there we got our expensive hotel amongst the other available hotel.
1400yuan. well, I thought we could find the hotel ourselves but Chong thought that it was the cheapest already so he just paid for it. Well, service from that particular hotel isn't good. I still can remember the green sign board vividly in my mind. Then after putting our backpacks down, we went to walk down the streets where the night market wasn't opened yet. There, we saw hotel rooms going at the rate of 800 yuan, almost half of the price that we were conned. Seriously, I don't think that's the exact price that the woman is giving. She didn't give us a detailed price listing and on top of that, the place was just renovated. We were their only customers.
Why service bad? They didn't provide towels for us, reason being that "we'll give only when customers ask for it". Moreover, since there was no connection to them phone, I had to walk down the 4th(highest) floor down to tell them and then walk up again. Probably, you can just shout down next time if the phone isn't working. Unglam, but u can try if u dun mind the "unglamness". LOl.
And oh, Chong did not have a good night sleep because the people switched off the corridor lights just to save electricity.Saving electricity is not wrong but hello? Which sector are you in? Service right? He felt weird that he didn't have a good rest. But I still slept, unaware of the situation then. (next day)So in the morning when we went out for our beach walk, I purposely switched on the lights. Well, you will not encounter situations in the hotel that the corridors light will be switched off at night. Maybe only when there's a short circuit? LOl. Seriously, bad service. Period.
Btw, pictures can be found in my facebook. I'm not going to upload it cuz it's gonna be double entry.
HUnger surged and we managed to find a restaurant to eat. 70 is the place that was recommended by one of the stall owner selling small accessories. NOt fantastic but edible. =X Best part, when we came out of the restaurant, the night market was up, 7788.
I had my first shooting game played at Kenting and well, my shifu, chong, taught his disciple well. first time shot 8 out of 10 balls. 2nd, 3rd and 4th time, I got all the balloons bursting. =) hehehehe, and that's where I got my little toys. LOl. My pink turtle, green biting crocodile and chinese wordings die. Haha.
Also, it was my first innocent time eating chicken backside. I only knew that it was chicken backside after I swallowed the whole "meat".Yucks. Nauseated, we threw away the whole chunk of "meat".
