Symphony of Lights Hong Kong

Spring in Hong Kong is, for me, the perfect season to visit this dynamic city. It's nippy but not freezingly cold, comfortable but not summery hot.

Hari ini kami pergi ke Disneyland. Naik MTR dari TST > Lai King > Sunny Bay > Disneyland Resort. Tiket masuk Disney beli melalui guest house dan mendapat discount HKD 20 dari tiket kalau beli di tempatnya. Jam 10.00 kami sampai di sana.

In these lanes there are dozens of small shops selling clothes and souvenirs of every kind and Julie was bound to find something she liked. She had been hoping to …

I learned 3 really important things today, although 1 I should have known already!
If you plan to wear new boots while on holiday and walking lots - wear them in first!!!! My feet are covered in blisters!
If you want to go to markets and enjoy shopping in Hong Kong, don't plan to do this over the Chinese New Year when EVERYTHING is closed! …

On the first day in Hong Kong we say good bye to our tour group. Nail biting, Mazza and I are on our own for the next week :-]. There are so many things to do in Hong Kong the time flew by. First on the list was "Avenue of stars" we met with the hole group there to say goodbye it was weird. We had only known these people for 21 days but some real …
