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
Sunday
  • 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!
