No Barriers

I seldom get the chance to talk to my friends and keep them up-to-date with what's going on with my life... well, this is it. My online journal. Yah, another personal blog,just exactly what the world needs now. Let's be realistic, it's cheaper than overseas calls. Less tiring than novel-like emails.

Day Tour and Shopping
Day 2
We got up early because we will have our half-day city tour today. Together with the other Filipinos who also had the same package, we were picked up by our tour guide in the hotel around 8:30am.

Our 1st Destination - Avenue of Stars
Located at the Victoria Harbour waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui

Family bonding - I also have a ceramic plate with our picture like this as a souvenir from HK
Hongkong United Buddy Bear - A Buddy Bear is an individually painted, life-size fibreglass bear sculpture. I only got to know of it's existence when I was sent to Berlin... the Buddy Bear capital :) In 2001, the Buddy Bear ("friendship-bear") was developed by Klaus and Eva Herlitz in cooperation with the sculptor Roman Strobl. During the same year, approximately 350 bears were creatively painted by as many artists to be shown in the city of Berlin for two years.

Next Stop - Aberdeen Harbour


In front of the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, a favoured tourist spot. Looking like a floating palace of imperial China, it has attracted 30 million visitor since opening in 1976. Some of the famous diners include Queen Elizabeth II, John Wayne, Tom Cruise, Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li. The place was also featured in many Hong Kong and Hollywood movies.

Next Stop - SHOPPING @ Tsim Sha Tsui, Temple St. and Mongkok road
