TORN BETWEEN CAREER AND PASSION

Maybe, this is not a well recommended itinerary, but here’s our DIY HK trip that we had on Jan 30-Feb 3 2015. Temperature on these days was at 7′ C to 12 ‘ C. So blame the weather and their fast speed wifi, reasons why we were not able to make to some of the places in our itinerary.
