Hong Kong

In 2006 my sister went to Yum Cha as part of the Chinese New Year celebrations at the University of New South Wales. With every lunch ticket you purchased during this period you got an entry to in the draw for 2 tickets to Hong Kong with Virgin Atlantic. She sat down and ate her lunch and then won 2 tickets to Hong Kong.

So off we went for a ten day holiday, we had never thought of traveling to Asia before, and had no idea what to expect. So without to much research, we thought the best plan was to grab a guide book and start walking and get lost in the hustle and bustle of this multi faceted city.
