Dear diary..

Last Friday Giulio was here with Arja. Hong Kong was their final stop before flying back to Helsinki so I tried my best to offer them a nice ending for their holiday. :) It was great to see them and even more exiting to listen to their adventures in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. Really got me excited about the travelling! :D (Actually me, my roommate Salla and a Swedish girl Sophie have a plan to start planning the trips we wanna make this semester.)

Up on the windy Peak with great views

Crispy chicken, fried eggplants, deep fried shrimp and pork dumplings

Dessert time-the best time :)

Mango pudding, sago in coconut milk with melon and
the giant portion of mango ice cream with fruits

We were so full after all the food and dessert! Giulio and Arja had a morning flight the next day so I didn't have a chance to introduce the LKF for them.. :D Maybe next time...

Last Saturday we had a city (shitty) tour organized by the school (some student affairs office) with three attractions: Nan Lian Garden, Kowloon walled city park and Ladies' market in Mong Kok. Hanging with the other exchange students was really nice, but the tour itself didn't really satisfy me. It was more like a tour of gardens in HK. So, me, Salla and Sophie skipped the ladies market since we have already been there several times during the last weeks and went to shop in other places.

We had a better city tour on Sunday after missing the Lantau Island trip with Salla, Sophie and Jakob exploring the Central with the Mid-Levels escalator (the world's longest covered escalator) and Soho.

Found the Rich Court

The view from the avenue of stars, TST. Also we made it to the symphony of lights which is the world's largest permanent light and sound show. It was alright, same as the past few years. :D
