Throwback to my First Hong Kong Experience

Aside from this trip being a part of my parents’ gift for me for my birthday…, I don’t know anything about Hong Kong. Well, at first, I was told, “We’re going to HK”, and I was just like “Okay, Thanks!”.

I am not much of a traveller back then.. I was just a homebody, contented at home doing some boring stuffs that for me, at that time, were not boring. But this trip led to another one, then another one… to many more trips…

In my recent travels.. I usually do some research of places to see and things to do.. and even what to pack… but back at that time.., haha… I didn’t do anything!

It was a packaged tour. And I know, that for anyone who didn’t have experienced in wandering around, availing of the packaged tour is really of big help specially to beginners. We just follow the scheduled iterinary and go shopping during our free time.

However my brother is a bit adventurous that he asked for a map from the hotel lobby and since then whenever we have free time, we were not just shopping at the nearby  malls but we had the chance to ride the train as well. At that time, if my brother was not with us, I think, we will just  follow the iterinary as it is

Can you guess who I really wanted to see in HK? My childhood love—Mickey Mouse.  “Andito nalang din sa Hong Kong, hindi ko pa ba bisitahin si Mickey?”

Yeah! I can’t hide the child in me… (and embarrassing as it may seem),  yeah, its me… on my not-so-beauty-consious-me. Well, I don’t care, I just love mickey mouse, and they have tons of them..

And one of my favorite part in the Disney Adventure was the Pirate Land with the Tarzan’s tree house. Am just charmed to know that all of the island, the water surrounding it, were all man-made… (well today, that is not much of an amazement.. but this was years ago)

Hmmmm..., looking back, this is something I shouldn’t be ashamed sharing…. This was technically one of my first out of the country experience (since during my childhood years, I don’t mind where my parents will bring me.).

Sabi nga nila: “ the first will always be the worst… but you’ll learn from it leading to your best adventures.

and cheers to a more wandering experience around the globe!
