Hong Kong's New Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car
Monday night I met up with Steph to chat. We had dinner with Cherie and then we sat down at the Starbucks at the World Trade Centre in Causeway Bay until it closed. Stephanie has a character that is easy to get along with. She is just a good person overall, and most importantly she doesn't play around with me; she is just honest. To other people we seem to be really good friends, though the truth of the matter is this trip was the first time we really had a chance to get to know each other. I met her along time ago in Toronto and then afterwards when she came to Hong Kong with her family. We spent some time getting to know each other then, but still it was our second time meeting. Afterwards I met her again in Japan when she took me around, but I was mainly visiting Akira at that time so I spent more time getting to know the environment. Monday night was a good chance not only to get to know each other, but to talk about various problems or potential problems. With all that out and our bond a little stronger I took her to met up with Eugenie before she left for Canada.
We bumped into Janice and Angie on our way to dinner. Angie didn't really stop and nearly knocked me over as she rushed to karaoke. The twins have been pretty distant lately. I know they had dinner with Jamie the other night, but I've been surprised by their lack of communication lately. I suppose they're just really busy.
We had drinks with Eugenie at Shelter, a lounge in Causeway Bay, which also happened to be the first night "spot" that I went to when I first came to Hong Kong. That's when I met Tina K and Alvin's friends and slept over in Causeway Bay. Eugenie entertained us by reading our palms. I'm suppose to have many many relationships that are all suppose to run smooth until I get married. So she claims.
Tuesday we were suppose to go to the beach. I had Ada go and look up all the route information for me already, but in the end Peggy had to cancel out for various reasons and with only three of us remaining we decided to change our plans. That's why we ended up going to Ngong Ping via the new 360 cable car. Several people recommended it to me; Horace, De, the girl that works at SJSJ, and Steph's Auntie. I'll recount what I told the reporters that interviewed us in Ngong Ping village (the stopped us while we were taking our silly pictures). The ride is smooth with a nice scenic view of Hong Kong. It certainly beats the bus, though it is a little bit pricey ($88 return ticket). It is worth seeing once though. Joyce took me to Lantau island a long time ago, so this is my second time there. Last time I went I didn't see the "Wisdom Path". We decided to hike together along the path. We were hoping Bryan would take all the mosquito bites, but I ended up having my own fair share.
While we were walking along the path Steph decided to change shoes, and into super silly Steph. Which began our crazy picture taking along the path. It was a great day and we took a lot of nice, and fun, pictures.
