Hey guys! So time for part 2 of my Hong Kong trip! The next two days were calm, with nothing too special going on.

It was my 18th birthday but it felt sort of surreal to actually be 18 now! Buuut, I had a great day and ended it on a pretty high note too! We bought a mango cake which was delish! I could eat that cake all day err' day. Like seriously, I would fly to Hong Kong just to eat more mango cakes. ;)
 Just a casual selfie of me eating lychee flavoured ice cream. It actually tastes really nice! I always get sucked into these kind of ice cream flavours. Like green tea and sakura flavoured ice cream too.
 The day after my brithday, we went for a little walk around Yuen Long because my aunt, uncle and cousin were still fast asleep. It was around 10am but they're used to waking up late and dad and I were still used to NZ time I guess! And we're just natural early birds haha. Speaking of birds.. ;) (what a great little jump from one thing to another) We were in Yuen Long park and saw this huge aviary which is made for the public so we decided to go in and check it out. It's like 7 (or more) stories high! There were quite a few birds in there and the aviary looked really nice. The birds are given a really beautiful area. I didn't know what to expect but it was better than what I expected haha!
 The view from the top was amazing.

I've decided to just do short little posts for each couple of days unless there was something really interesting during those days haha. Next diary post will be about Victoria Peak, Madam Tussauds wax museum and a japanese buffet.

Love,

Hey guys, so almost a month away, my dad and I went to Hong Kong and China for a two week holiday. It was so relaxing over there, even though the streets are full of people, it's a different kind of relaxation. Relaxed knowing that I don't have any major responsibilities to take care of until I came back to NZ. This allowed me to enjoy my time and just free my mind from everything. I'll just write about the main things that we did but will do more than one blog post for each event so you guys aren't too overwhelmed by the amount of writing in one post.

So our flight was at like 7am which meant that we had to wake up super early. On the way there, the plane food wasn't too bad but breakfast is always gag-worthy in my opinion. However, the lunch we had was fabulous. Hahhaha I don't think I've ever used fabulous before but anyhow, I got the chicken pie and it was so delish! Even though I didn't have much of an appetite because I couldn't handle the excitement of being in HK so soon!
 While we stopped over at Brisbane airport, we were waiting for our next flight and found this really cute arcade machine thing which had games like Pacman and Invaders. It was for free and you could play one or two player! This was the best time waster ever haha. Every airport should have one in my opinion. :P
 Once we landed, it was like 5pm in HK so my uncles, aunties and cousins took us to this restaurant for dinner. But I still didn't have much of an appetite and I was so tired by then (because I wasn't able to sleep on the plane) that I started feeling kinda sick. But after a good nights rest, I was fine.

Sorry for such a small post but I'll post diary #2 soon where it'll be about my 18th birthday and just our little adventures around Yuen Long.


Love,
Elaine
