Cross the road.

It's said that if you write down your wishes, tie it with oranges, and throw it up this magical tree, your wish will come TRUE. I guess that's pretty much provided that it gets hooked up on the first try and it doesn't fall down after that??? We didn't get to try this as the officials has ceased the tradition of throwing oranges as it has caused many incidents(?) Not too sure, still quite an eyeopener for us tho haha.

Act one tumblr-ish. No just kidding, i took this secretly behind Miss Lee's back, literally.  

Did i mention how amazed i am by the mountains that's almost seen everywhere and the mist of 17 degrees? There's basically 3 out of every 10 pictures that i took a (failed) photo of the amazing scenery. #itried.

We hiked up.

Only to find that we came to a dead end because there were DOGS THAT JUMPED OUT OF THEIR FENCE AND CHASED US, so, we hiked back up calmly and went back down the same trail...

Waiting for the minibus, yes the green minibus you see in HK dramas.

Too tired, i slept while standing in the train. Halp.
