The Peak I’m in Love

Monika PO

Ok, this time, I’ll  continue my post before about Exploring Hongkong, So, the most popular site in Hongkong is The Peak. The peak is the highest point on Hongkong Island. What makes this place is special is the view. From where you stand, you can see skyscrapers,  Victoria Harbour, also all the way to the green hills of the New Territories. The view is gorgeous whether is day or night. Unfortunately, I just visited The Peak in the afternoon. I hope I can go back there in to feel the night sensation of The Peak.

There’s a big love-spot there, where you can write your love message, and hang up there.

 The Peak I Love You

So, if you go to Hongkong, whether you’re bring your love or not, just try to visit The Peak. For the one who bring the date, you’ll share your moment there and feel more in love with your partner. But for the single one, don’t worry you will just love The Peak. Because the moment is The Peak I Love You.

See ya..

Exploring Hongkong

Monika PO

My first time flying far from Indonesia was to Hongkong. I joined the ACCP  2012 (Asean Conference on Clinical Pharmacy). I went there with one friend from pharmacy, and also with my husband, who wouldn’t let me go without his supervision because I was in my 3 month pregnancy.

Yes, I went to HK not only for attending the conference, displaying my poster, and presenting it; but also for exploring the city :P. There are many new things I learned there. At first I wanna share my experiences by words, but it may takes much time. So I just share couples photos here.

Hongkong

We almost had to take a walk to be arrived in destination. The road is narrow and crowded with people, everybody take a walk! There are many public transportation: big bus (behind us) -try to sit on the upstair, it’s cool-, minibus, MRT, tram, ferry, taxi, etc.

hongkong MTR

Hongkong MTR (Mass Transit Railway), it’s really mass, rapid, and fast! I like this transportation. (later I will post MTR map). Anyway, I did not look like I was pregnant in that photo, the fact is I was in my 3 month pregnancy 😛

Anyway, you don’t have to worry to use all public transportation in Hongkong. There’s a simple way to pay MTR, bus, and ferry. Just for one click then it’s done. We use an Octopus Card. The shape’s card is like an ATM card. You can refill the amount of the card. And the card is available in public spot everywhere in Hongkong: 7eleven, Wellcome, Park,  Customer Service Centre, also machine add value at MTR station. (I hope Indonesia will create card like this someday, aamiin).
