City trip Hong Kong SAR
Next week I'll be in Hong Kong SAR again. Although I'm born and raised in The Netherlands and being a full Dutch citizen, due to my Cantonese roots, HK is like a second home to me.My grandparents are still living there. It will be the 3rd time in the last 12 months.A few collegues of mine were very curious about life in HK. So, last April I took them to HK and let them have a great journey in the city where west meets east (I know, it's a cliche).Now, in July I will probably return again. A good friend of mine is a KLM employee and has opportunities to travel for a bargain. I'm talking about € 200,00 (Aprox. US$ 280,00) for a round trip Amsterdam - Hong Kong with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
I love to fly, But a flight of 11 hours in a M-class of a Boeing 747-400 is quite a time, so I'm hoping the economy class is fully booked, as I am to be upgraded to the World Business Class (for the same bargain!!)Therefore, I hope to see some new stuff and otaku gadgets again and of course, take a lot of pictures, as it is also one of my hobbies. Last year I bumped on Jackie Chan, while shooting a promotion (I guess). That was a true coincidence, I don't think it will ever happen again.One of the specific issues being on vacation is in my opinion the scent of a location. So has Hong Kong.They often say: One picture tells more than a thousand words.Well, if it also goes for a scent, I think that a scent is telling one hundred thousand times what a picture says. It's so unique that every time this scent is passing by, I'm immediately back on vacation again! Great experience!Do you have nice memories of scents/aroma about your vacation?
