hong kong x china 2011

And so the GF and I just came back from a trip to China and Hong Kong (yeah yeah, HK is part of China...). Having only decided to go for the trip one month ago and not really having an itinerary, you can say it was an unplanned trip. That kind of added to the fun. *smirk*

This trip was symbolic in many ways. It was my first long trip after I stepped into the working world; It came at a time when I was taking on new challenges at work; It was my first time seeing the GF continuously for 9 days except when she went to the toilet; and yes I missed _the_ GE.

It was a physically tiring trip but mentally refreshing. My mind was free from work and housework (work is work, housework is unpaid work) and I think I totally bochup-ed. Call it our unofficial labour day golden week. We went museum hopping, going to places the tourist maps won't show you, taking transport that you can't find on tourist guide, and doing helluva things that tourists won't do. I can't remember how many meals we had roast goose, and can you imagine eating a meal inside a hawker's kitchen?
