This past weekend I spent most of my time dedicated to studying for finals, but no worries I did have a day of “me” time! On Sunday, we decided to go to the
Tai O fishing village which is located on the Northwestern portion of
Lantau island. In order to get there we took a 2 hour ferry ride from the
Tuen Mun piers.
Tai O fishing village is home to the
Tanka people, who have built their homes on stilts above the tidal flats for many generations because they do not feel safe on land. The landscape was beautiful and the local markets were tons of fun to walk through (although the markets did have a bit of a “fishy” smell). We finished our day by watching the sunset on
Tai O and then had an adventurous trip back to
Hong Kong
3 finals down, 2 to go! Home in 11 days. The feeling is definitely bittersweet. Can’t wait to see everyone, but I will miss this wonderful experience/opportunity!
The girls and I did a final dinner at the Peak...on the way up to dinner. I call it "building in a building"
haha
