The place is extremely tourist-friendly; never mind that majority of the locals speak very few English words. I don't need a tour guide in Hong Kong. Except if I want to go to New Territories. I'm not particularly sad about missing the ferry last Monday that brought different representatives from various foreign media outlets to some old villages. I got my media badge though for the fireworks display with a view from Harbour City. I would never forget the mix of alien music and the magnificent display of lights splaying playfully between the Hong Kong and Kowloon sky for more than 20 minutes.

In all, I had my share of lost in translation.
And if I had to travel totally alone for a day in a foreign place again, muadto gihapon ko sa way pagduha-duha.

vera,
i don't want a hongkong, i just want that experience to be out there and to be alone. i thought you'd really love your solitude.. was it fear of the strange land that ruined the moment? the fear that something wrong might happen? because i'm scared myself. i always thought you're braver than i am; if you can't bear it in a foreign land alone, how many seconds would i last??
eeeeeee, want to be anywhere but here (so feeling natalie in anywhere but here). but not too far away from home. (?) miss yooooooo!
ivs, i still enjoyed my 'solitude'
but, strange people...there. that's more like it.
natalie?
anyway, i'm sure you'd last a day also. although, i believe, you will make a hundred phone calls to friends and family within that span of time :) heh
