Hong Kong Trip(26th Feb,2009 to 2nd Mar,2009)

This is kind of a graduation trip,went with 2 of my poly friends: Xiaoxuan and Si Mei.

i'm glad they went,because it's really loads of fun!

and the journey for this trip is kind of planned by me,and i really went to search like the places of interests, how to go,which day go where.

so i felt quite accomplished!
and the time for each day each place were really just nice......we weren't too rushed either.

and we were flipping through books,studying the map everyday,haha,i enjoy it!because it really feels good when you can find a place all by yourself,and a map!!

Hong Kong was worth going,i will probably go there again someday!!
