Hong Kong is ok, since we are not staying for long. Although the "free" city tour was not encouraging (at all), we did go to places like Temple Street, Women Street, Wong Tai Shian Temple. The main aim of this trip will be a journey to the Precious Lotus Temple in Lan Tau Island. Both of us hope that it is as good as it was described.

We were not disappointed.

   

Ok, I have to admit there was nothing much to do. Since I had a camera and a Carlsberg, I may as well make full use of it. Do I look like Tony Leung?
Sunday Morning - Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station. Empty deck. Hong Kong is sleeping. Waiting for train to Lantau Island.
The reason on why we came HongKong! A funny incident happened here. While we got off the bus, we were looking around and assuming that the great buddha must be behind some hill as we couldn't see it. When we turned around, we were shocked to see its size! The heaven and earth shall be the witness of this greatness.
Just one for memory - Entrance of Precious Lotus Temple. We were early that day. Didn't know that it only opened at 10am.
We were all humbled by its greatness and sheer size.
Another one for memory. Notice that there are a lot of people now.
Vege Lunch at Po Lian Temple, HK$60/person. Great Food. We had stired fried vegetables with mushrooms, mixed vegetables, fried "po pian", Tofu stew and 6 favour soup.
Drought in Hua Nan. How to make Singaporeans save water? If only we can be constantly mindful of our surroundings. Found this extremely interesting as it reminds and encourages people not to waste water.
Outside Heng Xiang. 10 boxes of wife biscuits in Yuen Lang!!! Kiasuism at WORK! Found it after a 2 hour walk. God knows why we missed it as it was along the main road. It was memorable as we went into the heartlands of a residential area in New Territories.
Lifeless MongKok. There are many people but it could be pretty lonely.
