As it is October, I am in a nostalgic mood. It's been 5 years since my first trip out of my country.
Now I want to start something worth writing. This is about my travels to different places all of the world.

HONGKONG- East Meets West
It was interesting to be in a place where people from a different culture. The Chinese in Hongkong have so much influence from the Westerners. The moment I set foot, I smell modernisation mixed with tradition. Hongkong was once under the British colony, and that has impacted on their culture. Anybody who goes there will visibly witness the industrialisation the country went through. The whole place is an entertainment center. I was in a bit of a luck as I stayed in a hotel right across Hongkong Central. The panoramic view was magnificent at night.The city lights in Kowloon is also fun to look at. I was walking around in the evening wide eyed and ecstatic in the rush. Weekends in HK Central is entertaining. The whole park is filled with mostly Filipinos because aturday is a big get together day for them.
There are wonderful spots to see in HK when you want to go explore the place. There's Victoria's Peak, Ocean Park and of course Disneyland HK is always in one's itinerary.
The one thing I enjoyed most during my stay there was the nightly craic and love love love the shopping!
Haggle, haggle. That's what most people do.
If I'd have the time, I'd go back and revisit Hongkong.
