Weekend
Last weekend:CHECK THE PHOTOS HERE (AND VIDEOS!)
Saturday:
- Hong Kong Museum of History
- Shopping
- Eat with the group: most students and the Dutch tutors Stella (leaving) and Mathieu (arriving). Because of this dinner with the Dutch tutors, I thought I'd give the group some Dutch treats... Bought some real Gouda cheese and had it sliced into cubes. Stella brought the flags from Holland.
- Icecream at Haagen Dazs
- Drink some beers at a bar
- Went to Lantau Island to some nature finally, with Marije, Annet (Dutch girls), Sanna and Heini (Finnish girls).
- Seeing the Big Buddha... you guessed it, a really large Buddha statue.
- Walking along the 'Wisdom path' to some religious wooden poles
- We met Mathieu there and then Annet and I hiked with him along a trail for almost hours, while the others went to see a monestary. The hike was really nice, check out the pictures and videos!
- In the evening we watched the soccer game of Holland vs Serbia-Montenegro in an Irish pub. Expected there to be more Dutch people, but we seemed to be the only ones. It was a lot of fun though, watching the game. I dressed up in an orange shirt and wore an orange cap of course... 1-0 for Holland, great game!
