On my first Christmas Eve in Hong Kong

Ah…my first christmas in Hk. We decided to spend the Christmas Eve hanging out at Tsim Sha Tsui (TST). We started the journey from east TST. We decided to start from TST to Avenue of the Stars to Star Ferry to Nathan Road and end our journey at Mongkok.

At the New World Hotel, a mini expo selling dry foods. They blocked the entrance to the Avenue of Stars. They directed us toward the Hong Kong Cultural Center entrance.

We are following the crowd heading straight toward the end of the road….Nathan road…This scene remind me of the movie ‘War of the World’. Everybody just walking…scary thought…

As we were heading toward Mongkok, there are a lot of small group singing in celebration of Christmas.

Well…I had fun….My first christmas in HK and I am willing to walk such a long journey….it was a success. We did not stay until 12am because we were afraid the crowd might swell up. We saw the news and they estimated there were about 300,000 people at TST on that night. I was one of the stats…..

Will I do next year? Yes…a lot fun..walking in 18celcius temperature with a Starbuck coffee on your hand.
