Travel Blog Section I

Weekend 1:
Sat: We went to Avenue of Stars, Tsim Sha Tsui, Peak Tower (Victoria Peak). We also saw Hong Kong Science Museum and a documentary "ROAR" in the theatre. We enjoyed the awesome night view of the skyline from the avenue of stars. We had some disappointment as the day was misty, hence preventing the view from the peak. But still, the day was fun. We had good old Indian food at Tsum Sha Tsui (Curry, Dal, Chawal, Roti...). Enjoyed the ride in the ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central and Tram from Central to Peak Tower.

Weekdays between: On one of the weekdays, Prof. Sid took us to a restaurant in the university and to a restaurant in Tai Po. We had something called fake meat, fake beef products. But, meat, beef, pork stuff here are made from flour and are 100% vegetarian. People say they taste exactly like their non-vegetarian counterparts. :) He also took HK101 course on eating in Hong Kong. I learnt how to use chopsticks. Man, they use chopsticks for everything, noodles, rice, meat, fish, etc...

Weekend 2:
Sat: We got to see a Korea v/s Hong Kong Unicycle hockey match (My first international match :D) followed by some bicycling show by some kids. Thanks to Sid Sir. We also got to try our hands on unicycling :)
Sun: We also went to the Lantau Islands. Main attractions were Tai Tan Buddhist Statue, Po Lin Buddhist Monastary, Misty Lantau Peak and Wisdom Path. Enjoyed the ride in cable car. Saw two 3-D animated plays sort of a thing - A walk with Buddha and A tale of two Monkeys.
