​It was our last time eating breakfast at this hotel since we would be checking out today. After breakfast, we boarded the bus to our corporation visit at Tencent. It finally rained after days of humid weather. It was exciting to be able to learn about the company but what I really wanted to see was the office and the team dynamics. As mentioned before, I hate museums, so I didn’t like it when we were educated about the history and accomplishments of Tencent in their mini-museum.

​In the end, I still enjoyed the visit. I actually took home a plush keychain of their QQ penguin mascot; the guide through it away from me so I didn’t thought about fighting for it but it eventually came my way and I grabbed it.

​​Next stop: Best Western Plus Hotel

​We were initially going to visit ports but due to time constraint and unsuccessful requests, we decided to enter Hong Kong earlier, which my friends and I had no complaints because we all love Hong Kong. This time, instead of visiting the places first, we checked into our hotels first. We unpacked and cleaned up and then our tour guides walked us to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Next stop: Victoria's Peak

​After the dinner, the bus drove us to Victoria Peak. Once we arrived, a sense of familiarity hit me; I’ve been to Hong Kong three years ago and this was one of the places we went to. There was a wax museum there to but this time we were only going to Victoria’s Peak.

​After a night of photos, the group met up outside to board the bus. My friend Anthony and I walked around the mall since we were in the mood for shopping but everything was closing. Some of us decided to get dropped off halfway while others returned to the hotel to prepare for the night. The main plan of the night: Lan Kwai Fong. With a few friends, we went to a bar and sat down and ordered drinks. After we went to the club across and danced for a bit. It was a weekday so there weren’t that many people dancing. So we walked back around 1 am. But that wouldn’t be my last time at Lan Kwai Fang.

Cheers!
