On the recommendation of my Hong Kong office colleague, Sam, I took the MTR to Tung Chung [东涌] to visit Ngong Ping 360 [昂坪 360] – a cable car ride that will give us sort of a bird’s eye view of much of Lantan Island [大屿山] on the way up to the largest outdoor Bronze Buddha Statue in the world.

I’ll not waste my time writing too much about the trip, and will let the pictures do the talking. Let me just say I am so unfit that being stubborn and trying to walk all the way up 268 steps to the Buddha Statue without stopping almost killed me and I ‘fainted’ at the foot of the Buddha Statue when I made it up there.

By the time I got back I met Lyna, who is currently on Business trip to our Hong Kong office for a month, for dinner and some drinks at Lan Kwai Fong [兰桂坊]. I am sorry I didn’t take too much pictures of the place as I was having quite a bad headache then.

But being the ‘jiu gui’ [酒鬼 – Alcoholic], I felt a lot better after a few drinks.
