HK 2025

 

2018 was the last time I was in Hongkong.

The whole family was here in December for the Yuletide holidays.

We were scheduled to visit HK in January 2020 for the Chinese New Year but on the evening before our flight, HK declared a lockdown as Covid cases were on the rise.

So we canceled our flight and later that year in October 2020, mommy was diagnosed with cancer and our lives were never the same again.

Losing both parents in 2021 was tough and was the main reason I stayed away from this place. Too many memories of happier, fun family bonding moments because every year since 2009 we would spend the Yuletide holidays here.

But.

Life goes on so here I am back in wintry weather freezing myself off. 😂 Familiar places but also new restaurants to discover and dine in with sister dearest who has been begging me to return to HK so she has someone to explore new eateries. Yes we love to eat and we have the expanded waistline as proof. It is interesting to revisit a place with new perspectives and explore new options.

Most importantly it is way convenient to explore during the winter season … just make sure I am well dressed for the biting cold … so yes I will stop complaining about the weather and just enjoy! 😊
