A weekend in Hong Kong? Why not?

Several friends have arranged a trip to Hong Kong this weekend. I decided to join them to “reward myself” for the “hard work” in P1. I am flying out on Friday afternoon, and I will be back Monday night. Everyone else is coming back Sunday night, but the ticket was twice as expensive, so I decided to stay the extra day. I checked Monday’s schedule and I doubt I will miss anything important.

The others are staying at a nice hotel about an hour out of downtown by public transportation. I decided to stay on my own at a very centrally located youth hostel. Either way, I don’t plan to spend any time at the hotel except for sleeping, and I will be catching up with my friends for the sightseeing and the partying. I hope to cut my trip costs by at least 30-40% compared to my buddies.

I was in Hong Kong with my family in 1997 right before the transfer back from Britain to China. I wonder if things changed very much since. I guess I am about to find out.

I believe this will be my last international trip before Christmas. Next weekend, we have the Winter Ball, a large INSEAD party at the Fullerton Hotel. The weekend after that is already December, and I will concentrate on studies to attempt to keep up my grades…

Hong Kong, here I come!!!
