Hongkong



My eyes light up whenever i hear the word hongkong. And im always in the mood when people ask me about it. Thanks to my cousin mimi, who still lives there, i saved lots of money on hotel rooms and octopus cards, and afternoon tea at the Peninsula. And because of her, i got to know the city quite well. Id be lost in makati but not in HK. No matter how often i go there, it remains enigmatic. Maybe because i couldnt reconcile the culture clash: its modern yet historic. And maybe because you feel safe. The possibilities are limitless, as long as you have enough dough. I have good memories of Hk, and it keeps on piling up.
