TEST of TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Because of these incredibly low airfare prices c/o Cebu Pacific the girls usually have this "OK book it!" go go go impulsive booking spree months in advance. In the end it was only Janlo and I that made it. Margie was booked too but she had another trip booked too. Well, I wouldn't blame Margie... HK vs Melbourne? Go figure. Hahaha. Nonetheless, Janlo and I had a good time. Right Jan? It was an easy steady trip. No rushing. Just steady steady nice nice.
I think Janlo already realized the little perks of traveling with me in terms of cue lines in the airport, customs, boarding. We were always first. "Use me Jan, use me"... (out of my head GB) Hahaha! In this whole trip we only used a taxi once because my feet/legs were killing me and my brace was digging into my skin already. The taxi trip was only a block or two away that cost me $18HKD. When you are in pain, you'll pay any price. Plus with all that we bought from Central, Monkok, and around Tsim Sha Tsui we needed a ride.

We opted to take the 7:55am flight which was great because by the time we get to HK, we would have time to rest, eat and all geared up for the day ahead. I still can't believe how much I walked during the trip which is good right?

Our first meal was across the hotel steamed veggies, taro cakes, and pork with noodles.

HONG KONG & SINGAPORE

It seems that this year has been a year of traveling both local and international. Twice to Baguio, Bacolod, Hong Kong, Singapore, and in December, Bataan. Fun but tiring (for my feet).

Hong Kong was one for the books. RDA Hong Kong sponsored our trip and accommodations and oooh lala meals. But having to walk from the room to where to eat, lectures and demonstrations, bullring, conference rooms took a serious toll on my feet. Up to now, it's still hurts. Met delegates from all over the world and riders that were truly amazing. Truly inspiring. We stayed at the Beas River Country Club which was all the way in the bundok, it's suppose to be a posh posh hush hush country club. Tell the taxi to take you to the Hong Kong Jockey Club he will know that better than Beas River.
Singapore. Mom took Luis and I to Singapore on a 5 day trip. But it was clear that the trip was for Luis. We spent the whole day in Sentosa, half the day in the Science Center, and the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari. We also met up with Ramon and Debbie and adorable Rocco. Food was good too but after how we were fed in Beas River, hmm so far what I have eaten hasn't come to par. Love Singapore because of how clean it was. It was pure greenery.
