So, remember when we were at the Big Buddha? That was yesterday, so I hope you didn’t forget. That would be embarrassing. Embarrassing for you because it was only yesterday and embarrassing for me because that would indicate my post was forgettable.

The other day, my fella and I checked out one of the coolest things that we’ve done here, thus far. We headed to Lantau, which is an island of Hong Kong. I had been looking forward to this day trip for a while. It did not disappoint.
The other day my fella and I took a trip to the top of Hong Kong, Victoria Peak. *
The other day my fella and I checked out Hong Kong’s “Avenue of the Stars”.
There is a tasty dessert in Hong Kong that people love, that’s made from Tofu.
If you’re not a tofu person and you are about to close your window, this dessert will change your mind.
Star Ferry
The oldest, most awesome ferry in all of Hong Kong is the Star Ferry.
Ok, I’ve not been on the every ferry that Hong Kong has, but I love the old-world charm of this ferry.
Kowloon Park. Doesn’t this sign make you smile?
Check out Kowloon Park. This is one nice park. Well maintained, pretty clean, complete with a community center and aviary area. I didn’t go to where the birds were, I have a track record for birds liking to poop on me. Knock on wood, I’ve been bird poop free in Hong Kong. Like many parks, I hear that it gets kind of seedy at night, where people score drugs and whatever else people do in parks at night.
Bus, Mini-bus, Cabs, near MTR Train station
I love Hong Kong’s public transportation. The options are pretty much endless. You can take your pick.
Ferry, Double Decker Bus, Mini-bus, Train, Trolley and Tram. Cabs and personal cars are options too, but I rarely use those. I haven’t been in personal car since I left America.
As a follow up from yesterday, let’s talk food!
Last week we took a day trip over to Macau (or Macao) which apparently nicknamed the “Las Vegas of Asia”. I’ve never been to Las Vegas. I’m not sure why people are so surprised when I say that, because I am not much of a gambler. Then they follow it up with, “Nicole, you would love the food.” Good point. I do love food.
I love food to the point that I’m going to do a separate post on the food we brought back from Macau, so follow the link to hear about the non-food related highlights of the Macau trip.
