Do you want to go to Europe??























As you can see in my blog, I love traveling. I have been to many interesting places but the place I remember the most is "Europe !!" In total, I have been to 14 countries in Europe including western Europe, northern Europe, and eastern Europe. I traveled with my sister using our two- week vacation while we were studying in England. The first trip to Europe continent was in April and we went to western part of Europe, in France, Austria, Italy, Germany. When we went around this part, we had a lot of chance to visit the famous museums like Louvre in France. It was really fantastic experience and I learned a lot about their culture and history.

The second trip was in late June and we went to northern Europe. Since we were heading to north, so we thought it might be chilly even though it was early summer and the book said also like that. However, our guessing was totally wrong, because they had so shiny and hot weather that the local people even wore sleeveless shirt!! The attractive thing in northern Europe was its "beautiful scenery" I really loved there.

My last trip was on my way home. I finished studying in England and traveled in eastern Europe. Two of us visited Switzerland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and lastly Germany again. What I enjoyed the most was the medieval atmosphere of the Prague, the Czech Republic, and this city view often appeared in commercial on TV.

6 years has passed already since I visited Europe and some memories are vague but still this experience means a lot to me. It gave me more open-minded point of view and confidence to take the different things more easily. I hope to visit there one more time again.

Have you ever been to Hong Kong??







Last year I had a very special trip with my sister. I've been to Hong Kong and it was a great experience. I stayed there three days and five nights and it was enough time to look around the Hong Kong, because it was quite a small island. Hong Kong primarily consists of Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories. The Kowloon Peninsula is attached to the New Territories to the north, and the New Territories spans northwards eventually connecting with mainland China across the Sham Chun River (Shenzhen River). In total, Hong Kong encompasses a collection of 262 islands in the South China Sea .

Since Hong Kong is mainly composed of some islands, we used the ferry called "Star ferry" to get to other island. The first impression of Hong Kong was that Hong Kong is full of peculiar buildings. In the limited land, thousands of buildings rise high and those show extremely beautiful night view.

The local food is also unforgettable. We spent time going around until late in the afternoon every day so we was exhausted but it was definatly worth visiting. I hope I can visit there one more time soon.
