It’s not officially fall yet, but the weather is

It’s not officially fall yet, but the weather is getting cooler in Hong Kong. That means it’s time to hit the hiking trails!
.
I’ve been wanting to check out some of the outlying islands since being back in HK. In the past few months, between the heat and covid, I was only able see a few places like Lamma Island, Cheung Chau, and Lantau Island.
.
But now that the weather is not as hot and we can take off the mask while “exercising,” I plan to go out more and see a bit more of my hometown.
.
What are you guys up to? Is your city under quarantine where you are?

I travelled…back in time to a vintage store sell

I travelled…back in time to a vintage store selling quirky memorabilia. Does anyone need a vintage Coco-Cola sign or old vinyl records? 🤣
.
Unfortunately, that's all the travelling I'm doing these days. And I do see some people travelling in Europe through different Facebook groups and Instagram. I’m totally jealous 😕
.
Anyway, I am happy that the covid situation is getting better in Hong Kong. We can go out for dinner now - yeay! But we have to finish before 9 pm and we can only eat with one other person! It's not much but I'll take it! 🙌

My favourite thing to do in Hong Kong is to take t

My favourite thing to do in Hong Kong is to take the Star Ferry between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island. The journey takes about 10 minutes or so, and it has the best view of Victoria Harbour. ⛴️
.
The commuter ferry has been around since 1880, and it was the primary way of crossing the harbour for many years.
.
It is not the fastest, but it is the most scenic. And best of all, it only costs $2.70HKD. That’s $0.35USD! 🙌

How are you all doing during this pandemic? I have

How are you all doing during this pandemic? I have to admit, this hasn't been an easy week. Just feeling a bit unsettled and meh 😕
.
HK govt lifted the day time dine-in ban 2 days after it was implemented (they realized the new rule was more detrimental because local workers were forced to eat outside in the humid hot weather). But there are still lots of new COVID cases.

And Beirut 💔 heartbroken for Beirut

How are you all coping with this pandemic?

Starting today, we cannot dine in at any restauran

Starting today, we cannot dine in at any restaurant in Hong Kong. We haven’t been able to eat in after 6 pm for the past few weeks already. But this new mandate has been the strictest covid-19 social distancing measures to date.
.
The new rule includes wearing face masks at all times, even if you are exercising outside. And gatherings in public is limited to two people only.
.
It will be a while until I go out for dim sum again. But that's ok. We can still get takeout from restaurants.
.
I think it's safe to say that we all want our regular life back. So let’s all do our part and social distance, stay at home and beat this virus!

Since I cannot travel at the moment, I thought I w

Since I cannot travel at the moment, I thought I would share some of my previous solo trips with you.
.
One of my favourite trips was a solo trip to South America. I didn't have any specific plans except for hiking Machu Picchu in Peru. While in Cusco, I met other travellers and they suggested that I take a trip to Bolivia and visit the salt flats in Uyuni.
.
It was during the trip to the Salar de Uyuni that I saw miles and miles of salt flats and fantastic scenery like the Salvador Dali Desert. The dry landscape resembles paintings by the surrealist painter. Seeing the desert and other parts of southern Bolivia was the highlight of my solo trip.
.
What is your favourite travel memory?
