So I have returned from jumping off moving busses in India and summiting Mt. Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia. India was intense. We had to change our plans on the first day since we couldn’t get a train to Varanasi like we originally planned. Instead, we went from New Delhi to Jaipur to Ranthambhore to Agra [...]
Went for a hike (well more like a walk) this weekend with some friends. We were looking for a certain waterfall… this is our mapped tracks (this recording only started 1/2 way through the hike) Pretty fail. My friends have photos (I brought a camera but forgot my SD card. Argh!) ps. special thanks to [...]
So I was out on a hike out in Sai Kung yesterday and passed by this beach-side restaurant. The concept is simple: people order a large bottle of beer, they get to sign it and it becomes part of the wall. Once in a while the cracks are filled in with this clay/cement mixture and [...]
So this weekend, I watched a movie, 3 games of the World Cup (and contrary to what the government believes, there was alot of chips and beer instead of tea and fruits), went hiking, did some shopping (very close to getting those bookends I’ve been looking for) and got a haircut (something I’ve been meaning [...]
So I thought something a little different from my usual weekend power hike would be good this weekend (yeah I know, I just signed up for Kilimanjaro and then I go slack. I’m terrible, but I digress…). What better way to enjoy the beautiful (and very hot) Hong Kong weather than with a trip to [...]
Since I sat at home all of Saturday playing Fat Princess, I woke up on Sunday and thought that I’d go out and get some hiking done. Decided to try a 34km hike covering stages 1-6 of Hong Kong trail. Yes I know! I just did the trail last month. But I needed to go [...]
Ant & butterfly. Definitely my favourite photo from that weekend Those interested can grab the large (1024×608) or original (4288×2848).
After the exciting hike with the Trampers last week, I think I’ll join them on their Wong Lung Hang (黃龍坑) hike this Sunday. Only problem is its in Tung Chung (東涌), a good 1.5 – 2 hours of travel time just to get there. Who wakes up at 7:30 on a Sunday? Lets hope I [...]
Last Sunday, I took my first hike with the Hong Kong Trampers on their 14km hike to So Lo Pun Village (鎖羅盆). Despite thunderstorm warnings, I was quite excited about this trip, as I rearely get off Hong Kong Island, let alone go all the way up to New Territories. While I won’t go into [...]
