Long Overdue

Despite a short amount of time, a level 3 typhoon, and not being able to see pink dolphins, Gretchen and I made the most out of our time in Hong Kong. Here's a quick list of everything we did.

Cruise room? Nope, just a standard hostel room. It was my first time staying in a hostel and I survived!

Crystal Bottom Cable Car: The bottom was clear so you could see everything underneath and it made for some fun pictures.

Giant Buddha: It's actually the largest bronze, sitting Buddha in the world. It was very large and we made it there before the typhoon hit HK.

Trolley Car to The Peak: Because of the bad weather, we didn't actually go to The Peak, but we still had a great view of Victoria Harbour.

Madame Tussauds: This was my first time in a wax museum. There was even a special Halloween exhibit, but I was too scared to go through it.

Fire Dragon Parade: The so-called Fire Dragon was the talk around town. However, after waiting in a crowd of people for nearly two hours and no sight of any fire or dragon, we gave up.

Lantern Festival: We were actually in HK at the perfect time because they were celebrating their Fall Festival. There were a variety of lanterns, lights, and tons of people.

Wong Tai Sin Temple

Landau Island: Disneyland and the airport were both on the island. It reminded me of Jurassic Park because of all of the trees and I felt like I was somewhere really tropical.

Markets and Streets: We went to the popular Ladies Market (shopping), Flower Market, Fish Market, and Bird Street. Everything was bunched together so each area was like a one stop shop.

Star Ferry: It was a nice little boat ride around Victoria Harbour. We were able to see other famous landmarks in HK such as the Clock Tower, 1881 Heritage, and the Space Museum.

Science Museum: It was a pretty standard science museum, but it had a cool mirror exhibit.

I can finally cross Hong Kong off of my list of things to blog about. Peace.
