Hong Kong Day 1

Today was our first day in Hong Kong, after we both decided to finally get up at 1pm HK time we were greeted with torrential rain and thunder. Not being dragged down by this unexpected weather we decided to look for somewhere to eat as both of us hadn't eaten since the flight the night before. 


On our way around the central part of HK, we came across a few parks and the harbour, it wasn't very busy due to the poor weather but the parks created the atmosphere of a rainforest and it was quite beautiful. The harbour was pretty but it mimicked many other harbours around the world so we didn't spend much time getting to know it. 


For dinner, we decided to treat ourselves to some dim sum, it was something both of us hadn't really done before and typically we ordered too much but and for someone who is trying to become vegetarian it didn't give us many options. However, we ordered food we have never tried and all in all it was a success, the restaurant was called Din Tai Fung and we strongly recommend it to anyone staying in HK. 


After dinner we explored around the centre a bit more to get our bearings of the place, this ice cream parlour caught our eyes as we were walking home. We were curious on how nitrogen was involved in making the ice cream so we ordered some and watched, it was a very strange process and looked rather like a science experiment but the results were delicious! We had the Hokkaido milk flavour and we discovered that the parlour changes the flavours every two weeks to make it stand out from the crowd and we only saw a very short menu of four flavours when we first entered. 



Do you have any recommendations or good experiences of HK?

Turning Twenty Two in Whitby, North Yorkshire. 30/06/2015









Hello all I am SO sorry about my lack of posts this year, I just needed a break to concentrate on my studies but now I'm back! AND I'm 22! I turned this golden age last friday and quite honestly I didn't know how to feel about it, this year I decided to have a chilled event as I felt like the most important birthdays were behind me and being 22 made me feel old! (I know its silly). 

I went off to Whitby: a seaside town situated on the coast of North Eastern Yorkshire, this place was perfect as for all of you who know me well I am a lover of the ocean and all things in it! The small seaside town was charming in it's own way and it was nice to just look out and be at one with the sea. 

Another milestone that I have hit recently is graduating from university, I am no longer a student and I'm not sure I will get used to grown up life but I'll give it a go! Growing up and going into the real world will be a challenge but I have ambition and a great support system that will help me get to where I need to be in life! I am truly thankful.
