I ♥ HK

I haven't been active in blogging the past few months because of the numerous workload I had to endure for the first semester of the school year. I realized my "bloglog" (wordplay for backlog) is steadily piling up. I have so much to share but I can't find time to blog about it.

This post is one year overdue. Dan and I took this trip October of 2014. I can't believe 2015 is almost over. So before the memories of this wonderful trip vanish into oblivion, I'll write what I can remember from this short but sweet trip.

VICTORIA HARBOR
Our first photos were taken from Victoria Harbor overlooking one of the best skylines in the world. We intentionally chose an inn/ hostel in Tsim Sha Tsui area because it's close to Victoria harbor. In fact, it's roughly a seven-minute walk from Homy Inn to the harbor.




 The Avenue of the Stars which is similar to Hollywood's Walk of Fame is also in the Victoria              Harbor area.





The Peak
Getting to The Peak is quite a ride. It's not for the fainthearted. Riding the tram is the quickest and most scenic way to get there. As the tram ascends, you get a clear view of the city's skyscrapers. There was one brief moment that I thought the tram would get derailed. It had a difficult time ascending, it even stopped midway, almost slipping back. I think it was part of the thrill of getting on a tram.







Our signature shot!

Mong Kok (Bargain Hunting)
Hong Kong is a shopping haven. From luxury brands to cheap goods, HK has it all. And since haggling is what I do best, off we went to Mong Kok district.
