MaD Asia 2012 in Hong Kong
Reported from hongkong of MaD event on Jan 6 n 7 2012. MaD program is aiming to enlighten and enrich youngsters to Make a Difference. find out more here:)
although i am very tired now. imagine that we have to stair up to 9th floor, bcos no lift in our hostel, it is a very old building, n a bit scary here, but we have no other choice, we decided to book hotel in a very last minute, so other good hotel has already booked either it's fully/partially booked on Jan 6-10. so here we are; me, daning, n N (N is my new friend from cambodia, nice n a bit over-excited girl :D, we just met here in MaD, but actually we contacted each other via Skype before came here).
On 6th we had flight at 2.15 pm from Taoyuan airport, n arrived around 4 pm in HK, then went straightly to MaD venue in Kwai Tsing Theatre (around Kwai Fong MTR station). anyway, about the event. the show was started at 6 to 11pm. I lovee its opening ceremony. The stage was AMAZING! we had opening speech from foreign guest speakers also. here are some pictures of it..

On 7th, we all should queuing up to get in to the workshop, first come first serve, but so far went well. I attended some workshops in Auditorium. n at 1.30 pm we can reimburse the flight ticket for USD 300 as a subsidy. yeay finally we get our money back, n can have something to buy.
MaDee lined up to join the program
"What can we do with technology?" workshop
"What can we do with empathy?"
Open activities
What is actually in my mind? wait for it... i'm still thinking.... yes still thinking untill now, have no idea! =.=
After got our reimbursement, we had lunch at Kwai Tsing Plaza near the venue, and found this food, overall it's good, cost HK$50 per person. nyam nyam.
The last activity on that day was in open space, West Kowloon, we have to took train to get to the place. it's like 6 pm at that time, got night sightseeing there. so lovely. sounds a bit hyperbolic but suddely i fall in love in this city n want to leave taiwan, haha. but really, it's much better here. from the food, language to communicate, transportation, the direction, n rarely to see dogs around the street.

Let's!!!
That is Hongkong island over there, across the island where we stand. Hongkong has few islands that get connected to each other by MTR system (the train). There are four big area in HK; Hong Kong island, Kowloon, New territories,n Lantau island.
that's it for today, going to sleep early n prepare for tmrw..
