The Faces of glamour

Were you to plan a trip to some far-flung corner of the globe, where would you go? Would you go to the untouched nature of an isolated island? Would you pick out to indulge yourself in an atmosphere full of splendour and breathtaking innovations in a big city? ….

It was almost 2 a.m. when I and Tom finally reached our foreign destination after four - hour flight. Although it was awfully late Hong Kong was bubbling of vigour. Those brightly luminous lights shimmering the long overcrowded streets made me feel as if I was in heaven. After approaching our comfortable and luxurious hotel we had to unpack our luggage and went to bed. But I and Tom couldn’t sleep even for a while. We spent the rest of the night in our balcony staring at the huge buildings remaining both mystery and magic. There it was - my childish dream was becoming true. I and the closest friend of mine were observing the Hong Kong streets.

The morning light brightened us up. We were ready to start our trip around the premier tourist destination. Tom suggested beginning with ‘Victoria Peak’ which was totally marvelous. We were 1810 feet above the sea level taking a bird’s eye view of the downtown Hong Kong, Kowloon and Victoria Harbour. As the wind was pleasantly blowing and the air was crystal fresh I felt as if I was about to fly.

Full of enthusiasm and vim, Tom and I directed our steps toward ‘Lan Kwai Fong’. It was the perfect venue for a night full of pleasure and joy. It has the most entertaining outlets where young people and trendy professionals were gathering for some fun and drink. After a dinner in the atmosphere filled with laughter and cheers we went on our tour to ‘Wan Chai’. We felt the love in air miles before. Unforgettable scenery!!! A Splendid view of the sunset and couples around talking quietly, taking pleasure to the unique scene.


So, if you are blessed with the opportunity to travel, take a tip from me and set off for Hong Kong. The trace which will be left by the city in your heart will be for a lifetime.
