Pictures from Hong Kong
How about some pics from my trip to Hong Kong? Had so much fun with Yulia, my friend from uni in Sweden, who is working in China at the moment. So happy she got to meet some of the people I have been getting to know during my studies in Singapore as well. ♥
Singapore Airport is so pretty with all of the orchids, I love being there. (Used to enjoy each stopover there on my way to and from Australia even before I decided to study in Singapore. SG was always calling me I guess, and now I live there...) Now it was time to fly to Hong Kong. But first...My little airport tradition, TWG macarons! I love the one with passionfruit.
One flight later... I am reunited with my friend Yulia and we took a bus from the airport to the city center. On the way, I got to try some rice treats Yulia had brought with her from China. Then it was check-in time at the Island Pacific Hotel! The hotel is welcoming a "Mr." with my last name on the in-room screen. Wonder where he is? ;)
Time to explore the city of Hong Kong! We stayed close to Seafood street and started there, enjoying the atmosphere, walking around and getting some snapshots.
We just let ourselves "get lost" in Hong Kong for a bunch of hours. So much life in this city, as one of my friends said. I really agree. Singapore is a bit more 'polished'.
When it got dark we headed back to the hotel room to jump on the hotel beds and get ready for a night out! :) Time for some yummy dinner! We had lots of tasty dishes such as noodles and dumplings at a great local place.
Belly full and happy we headed out to meet my friends from Singapore for a cocktail at the highest bar of the world, at the Ritz-Carlton hotel on the other side of the river. Such an amazing view of the city at night - Breathtaking! Somehow we decided to do some bar-hopping at Lan Kwai Fong after that. Lots of students from all over the world, so not really traditional local culture. :)
The day after we started with ice cold coffee drinks and did some fun sightseeing by bus. We also took the Peak Tram for a scenic view of the city from above.
We went to use the loo at Bubba Gump Shrimps just to have been to the place. Forrest Gump fans... ♥ Outside we saw interesting warning signs that really ought to get the message across :D And then we had lunch at a local place, simply pointing out different things on the menu to try.
An exciting weekend getaway! But now it was already time to head home to Singapore... Thank you for all the memories, Hong Kong! I would love to come back soon! ♥
