Our background and circumstances may influence who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. We may screw up making choices but life is not about it, it is what steps we take to rectify them.

A NOTE TO SELF: Be calm. Seek your center, that's where your strength is. Breathe. When you inhale, you are charged with energy. When you exhale, you rid your body of tensions; relax. Don't think. Obey your instinct. ~ Isabelle Allande|City of The Beast

HAVE COURAGE AND BE GRATEFUL, ALWAYS... ^__^.

Strolling Around Hong Kong

On our first day, the moment we landed at the Hong Kong Airport, we purchased our ''octopus card'' at  HK$ 150/ person, wherein the HK $50 is for security deposit, leaving 100 as useable credits for the trains, ferry, and busses. The cards can be easily reloaded at any stations, so it's pretty handy to have. They return the deposit upon surrender of the card plus the unused credits if u choose to, minus refund charge of $9. Then we went to ''The Peak'', the highest point in Hong Kong and to Madame Tussauds - A walk with the Stars. We took the bus from the finance bus stop to The peak for 50 minutes and took the ''The Peak Tram'' on our return for 15 minutes. I know the travel difference is quite huge but it's great to experience both. The view was spectacular!
 
 


On our second day, we went to Ngong Ping and Disneyland. The cable car ride was overwhelming. The wind was strong and whistling that day and the ride was longer than regular days coz it had to pause twice above hills. It was amazing though heart pounding each time the cable swings! Haha When we reach to the Ngong Ping Village after 8 cable car towers, we were amazed. It could have been more amazing it wasn't foggy but we still enjoyed that must-see place! Then we took the cable car again for the return and off we headed to Disneyland where we spent most of our time 'til 6PM.
 
 
 On our third day in Hong Kong, we strolled around to check out the nearby public parks, to buy ferry tickets to Macau for the next day and to shop for souvenirs we see and like. We also went to the temple market to feed our curiosity and got home at 7 P.M. I and the 2 girls left the couple and headed out for a night shopping nearby for about an hour. We bought a few branded clothes for ourselves in a lesser prices. it's actually very fun to shop around there but we didn't have much time and our feet already hurt. We also have a trip to Macau at 7:30 in the morning, which we were so damn lucky çoz the sits were running out when we went to get them.
 
 
Above is some of our memorabilia. We did enjoy our stay in Hong Kong especially coz it was easy to get around. We thought of going back there for shopping hahaha *High Five guys, for another wonderful trip with you! 'Til the next one!*
