Hongkong Day 1: Madame Tussauds, Victoria Peak and my first day abroad ever!

Do you still remember your first travel experience? Me, I still do! After graduating from the university, my parents asked if there was anything I wanted as sort of a reward. Growing up in a frugal family, I never really asked for birthday parties and the latest toys or gadgets and so I told them I wanted to travel abroad. Good thing they didn't say no to my request! I was so excited, I was probably more psyched to know that we will be going to Hongkong that May rather than the thought of finally receiving my diploma. lol. I've been to other places outside Manila when I was younger, we've frequented my parents provinces, Iloilo and Masbate, some were mostly field trips and short day trips to Laguna, Batangas, etc to relatives so there wasn't really any sightseeing involved. So technically, yes, that visit to Hongkong last 2010 was my first travel experience and also my first trip to abroad.

me with The Beatles, a dream come true!
