I got this message from Meng-Han one day and she said that she’d like to visit Hong Kong for a day or two before heading to Brisbane. We then started organizing hotel rooms and flights.

There’s this really crazy typhoon hitting Taiwan the weekend Meng-Han was supposed to fly off from Taipei. Was quite worried that she couldn’t make the trip at one stage.

It’s been 20 months since we last met in Taipei. Her first comments were that I’m so dark! Well, I’ve been mountainteering.

The first thing was to have her checked into her hotel in TST. As soon as she’s checked in, we’re out for lunch.

We ordered so many dishes and were so full afterwards. I’m glad she liked the food. We then went for a walk in TST, took the Star Ferry to Central.

It was a really hot day and I had to cool down a bit at IFC before heading to Stanley. Meng-Han has never taken a double-decker so we decided to take the bus to Stanley.

Then it’s time for the Peak!

After the Peak, we were already quite tired. Took the bus back to Wanchai then took the tram to Causeway Bay for street food.

After sending Meng-Han back to the hotel, I realized that the sky was really clear and would like to go to the Cultural Centre and take a few photos. Here’s what I took.

The next day, the last day of her stay, we met up with another friend, Johnno and went to have dinner together. A very famous restaurant where they serve very very nice hot crabs. I haven’t seen Johnno for years! If it weren’t for Meng-Han, we would be totally out of touch.

After dinner, we went for desserts at Yee Shun Diary Company. They serve really nice milk puddings!

That concludes the 2 days we spent together here in Hong Kong! It was nice having you here, Meng-Han!
