Last month, I traveled to Hongkong on a whim. In short, it was a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing after enduring some months of work, life and everything in between. I didn't have much plan and in times like this, I could make use of my fervent wish that "the best plans are NOT having plans at all".
I didn't plan on staying long, in fact just for the weekend. Hongkong seemed to be so elusive in all my Southeast Asia travels. I have never visited this city before when most Filipinos already did. Well, that came without a surprise, I am a late-bloomer afterall.
Hongkong boasts of a different Chinese air- so different from the mainland China as the city enjoys a higher degree of autonomy, as its political and
judicial systems operate independently. I had been in Shanghai and Beijing but Hongkong is quite different indeed. I heard rumors that the Hongkong people are flabbergasted when you compare them to the people from the mainland.
First order of the day is food!
Of course I wouldn't miss it for the world. Nah. Never.
