Hong Kong

HER TRAVEL
September 2013


After 20 years, I was able to travel back to the very first international country that I've been to.  This is also the fist time that I and my office mates embarked on a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) international tour which inevitably kicked-off the travel bug in all of us. During this period, Lyndon and I are faraway from each other and he is also doing his own travels.  Thus, the idea for this blog. ;-)



The two empty seats were originally for our boys. But unfortunately, we decided that it may not be time for them to travel. But don't worry, we we're able to travel back here as a family. Reserved for another blog post. :-D





Sky Terraces 428
A lot has change since my last visit.  Viewing the Hong Kong skyline was amped up by going up the Sky Terraces.  






Bank of China Tower



Ngong Ping Village


Crystal cabin ride fun

Please excuse the ugly feet.

"Look up" was a photo trend that time so we did a "Look down" hehe



The Bodhi tree (Tree of Awakening) wishing shrine

 The Big Buddha





Where the "kreshameme" started... (One of my necessary travel pose. hehe)

We stopped by an eatery inside the village and got curious with this. I forgot what the sign said was but this is similar to "Taho" (silken tofu) but it is sweetened by that sugary mixture above it.  If my memory serves me right, the sweetener has a hint of ginger in it. 


Going to Mongkok

 Started off at this station which is nearest to our guesthouse. 

Yes, we tried to fit ourselves in this groupfie... Selfie stick was not yet available during this time.

Mongkok

 Capping off the night and celebrating a friend's birthday. 


 I'm really not sure what we ordered that time. But I think we just pointed what looked good on the menu. 

 I'm not sure if this is peking duck... but it was good paired with beer. 

I just had to add this... You will always have that travel buddy that is always out of the box. ;-)
