Trip to Hong Kong 2013 - Part 4

So, I took the ferry over to Kowloon, I don't know how to describe it, it's a totally different feeling than in Hong Kong Island itself. It seems to be a lot more dense in Kowloon with really tall, cluttered apartments. Each of the street in Kowloon seems to be different and specialising in selling something. Just like the picture below, it was taken on the 'Gold Fish Street'. As suggested by the name, the street does not only filled with aquariums but with heaps of pet shops too. It was a heaven for me!

We kept walking and walking till the night time so that we can catch the 8.00pm light works at Victoria Harbour. The light works is a type of collaboration between famous buildings in Hong Kong Island to shoot out laser and different type of lights to attract tourist who will gather and wait at the Victoria Harbour to witness the even every night. It was beautiful and worth the wait.

It was a really hot day, I went back to the hotel to get showered and changed before heading out to Lan Kwai Fong for some drinks with Nic. Together, we took the tram from Causeway Bay into the City Centre. I love the nightlife vibe in Lan Kwai Fong, it reminds me of the same kind of nightlife in Phuket where the whole streets are filled with pubs and bar.

The second day, we went to have Breakfast at Muji. It's literally the first Muji I've seen to have it's own restaurant. It was slightly pricey but so healthy and delicious.

Trip to Hong Kong 2013 - Part 1

I finally got to visit Hong Kong in September 2013, since I was 12 years old. I was super excited and of course the photo taking frenzy started even before the plane landed. I have to say what is amazing in Hong Kong is the hilly landscape with all the high rises built on top of it.

I would like to recommend Butterfly On Morrison Hotel at Causeway Bay to stay as it has the most amazing shape and view I've ever encounter in a hotel. The room is designed look like the shape of a ship or a leaf, whatever you call it. It offers the 180 degrees of view around Hong Kong.

Melbourne Open House 2013

Melbourne Open House is once a year type of event in which buildings and architecture around Melbourne are opened for visit. There would be tour guide at each buildings to take you a walk through and explain why the buildings are special. I went to Melbourne Cemetery, First High Rise Building in Melbourne (Orica Building), and a sustainable office building near Victoria Market.

P/S: I managed to take a selfie with the cute horse in the cemetery. It was so cute.
