There was a slight change to the planned trip. I do away with the visit to the Big Buddha for this trip and pushed back our Victoria Peak visit to Day 2. Neverthless, mummy, sis & I were still very much happy with the whole trip and I think my decision to cancel the Big Buddha visit is a wise one to allow mummy to enjoy the trip at a more desirable pace for her. Anyway...the first day was just a warm-up to things, (1) for me to familiarise the streets (2) for the trio to warm-up our stomachs to churn more food in the days to come. The first thing we had was Mac's dessert chocolate pie and shri...

We have met all but one w...

8/7/08-8/9/08 - The flight nearly took 2 days. I got on the flight from JFK at about 10 and made a stop in Vancouver for a couple of hours, then continued the flight to Hong Kong International Airport and transferred to a Tokyo flight. Crazy, right? We finally reached Tokyo in 2-3 hours from Hong Kong. As we're heading to the Hilton Narita Hotel, I had a great feeling about this trip already. The country side seemed so surreal and peaceful. The hotel is really nice. Headed downstairs for food. We either had a choice for Japanese food or Chinese food. We're in Japan, of course! Save that Chines...
