I love exploring on my own :)

Went out alone yesterday after having lunch with Yuin Yee and Daniel. I took MTR to Jordan with the intention of getting a detailed map of the 郊野公园 and also the street directory of HK. You may be thinking that I am crazy but I simply like the idea of knowing my exact location since the tourist map doesn't have the map of my school area; in addition, I can explore on my own with a detailed map of HK. Alas, the store has already closed as I reached there a little late, around 2+pm I guess.

I headed for 中环 via MTR as I will like to go to 山顶 again. This time round, I am not so dumb to take the peak tram which will cost me $30! I bumped around and found a green minibus up 山顶. It costs $7.40 per trip, which is quite reasonable. After a rather windy and bumpy ride, I reached my destination and I headed for Lugard Road which will begin the hiking path known as the HK trail. It will be 50km long! I didn't complete it of course as time is running quite late; I'll need to reach there early in the morning in order to complete the trail. Anyway, I walked for around 4km; at a junction, instead of continuing the HK trail, I walked along Hatton Road and reached back my starting point (kinda loop). Found a small waterfall there and I realized that HK is getting more foggy :(

I took the green minibus back to 中环 and initially, I wanna travel to 西贡 to eat. However, curious me saw this sign board which writes "escalator to mid-level" and I kinda remembered from what I have read that this escalator will take us to half way up the peak. Hmm so I walked there and see if it's true. Along the way I took some photos of the streets of 中环 and realized that it's a little different from Kowloon. I took the "escalator to mid-level" up and realized that it's actually holds the Guiness World Records as the world's longest covered escalator. I realized later that I have actually past through many interesting attractions and eateries which include 蓝桂芳, SoHo and Hollywood road.

At the end of the day, I went to 北角 for dinner.

Initially I thought that 北角 will have some big mall since its English name is North Point but then I realized (to my surprise) that it's very much like Jordan and 油麻地 area.

I'll be doing my readings today; a lot of work left undone :p
