Arggh!!! Think I must be sleepy... Dont know what did I do but the previous entry was published when I was typing.
Anyway, Sheena n me decided to take bus 206 as its supposed to be Stanley Express, so we will reach Stanley Mkt in 20 mins but it was a rather bumpish ride.. such that Sheena almost puked! Ohh.. I am sooo tempted to put the pict that I took of Sheena's shoes but think she will kill me if I do so...just jus say that its sooo interesting that she will never wear her shoes that way in Sg. Oh by the way, the shoes killed her so much that she bought a flip flop to wear... haha.. she had much trouble wearing flip flops as its not very her to wear something less than 1 inch.
The place is actually very touristy but I enjoyed the enviroment very much as its peaceful, clean and beautiful. Some pictures that I took of the surroundings:
A tourist approached us to help him take a photo and after a small chat we found out that he is an American who is visiting his friend in HK. While I think that it will be nice to travel alone, as I can go anywhere I want, do anything I want, but guess that it will get a little boring too as there is no one to share interesting sights with, no one to help me take photos. However, I am not eliminating the fact that someday I might just decide to travel alone, just for the exprience. After Stanley, we took 973 to Tsimshatsui East and its another long ride.. more than an hr!!! Gotten a slight headache when we got off as the road wasn't exactly flat n smooth... so miss Sg roads! Oh, as the bus passed by Pokfulam Rd, I saw the University of HK, its exactly what someone told me before... "must climb mountain". The place is very hilly and its seems to be difficult to get around, suddenly Kowloon Tong seems so accessible. Think one will never be satisfied until one sees how bad other situations are. So glad I never choose CityU. Told my mum about my future, tentative travel plans and she kept reminding me to spend less and study more, but I am not a compulsive shopper, haven't been buying alot and planning to keep my money to travel. Moreover, the school seems so slack that I suddenly feel that Sg students are studying too hard. Rigan agreed with me because when he was at UPenn, he felt the same way too! So the Ministry of Education in Sg, pls do something about it... cos felt that studying has erroded most of my youth! When people go on exchange, isn't it the time to travel and explore the host country and it neighbours? One do not always get the opportunity to do that. Decided to cut down on my spending, as I have to pay my hostel bill soon and I really do want to be more liquid when I travel. Okies.. my bags are packed and I am ready to go to bed as need to get up early. Shen Zhen here I come!
