Hong Kong Walkabout

Here in HKIS, as our last writing project, we will plan a tour through Hong Kong. We are dropped off at City Hall. We take a picture, and go write about the Chinese food upstairs.
The picture from the left consist of Sebastian Wong (Known as 'Sea bass.'), Junsung Park, Inwoo (Me or nicknamed Incow or Oomni),m and Aaron (Ayre boy). We are heading to Ifc. The rules are simple, do not take taxi's or private cars. Public transport only. Oh yeah, walking is allowed.






Here, to the left, are pictures of what I saw on my camera, walking from City Hall, to IFC2. Don't own a car? The most common car in Hong Kong is the red taxi. We also saw Mini buses. Below the mini bus is some statues and a sign of a shortcut. One of the most famous statues is the Sumo. Our plan is to walk through Ifc, go to Mannings, and go to exchange square (The shortcut.), and write. The semi famous is the two cows, excactly the same. Theere's also a donut sort of thing. There are more statues like people made of fake gold, a metal lump in the back ground, the golden ring was tooken while walking to Ifc on the road. The golden dragon is from Happy Valley.

























Now, the Ifc is here. If you eat Chinese food, try the Crystal Jade. Vegetarian? Eat 'Dressed.' There's a lot of tech stores here. Dymocks, and a good fashion shop, called Lane Crawford which is expensive and huge oh yeah, it's good too!

We are now heading to the peak. We will walk through HK park, but we took a normal tram, and my batteries ran out on my camera. The hk park has a fountain where you go underneath, however, we used umbrellas. But I can show you it online. I went into this very fountain in 2007 with my cousin, sister, and me. No umbrellas.

The peak tram is famous. It is a tram that is over 100 years old. Obviously, it gets to peak, and back. It's the red tram by the way. I used to live on the peak on dynasty court, tower 2, Floor 41A. On the peak, we wandered around.We went to burger king, sat down, and wrote, we came back down, and walked a little, as time got short, we broke a rule. We took a taxi, got off at the ferry boats took a photo, walked across a land bridge, and took a taxi to school. The parents wouldn't listen to me say "You can walk down!" and rode the peak tram.
