Can you see the full moon?
People always say that the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival is much bigger than the others!

As it's the time of Mid-Autumn Festival, there are Lanterns Fair everywhere.

I attended on of them and found the lanterns are amazing~
They have all kinds of styles and themes.
It's beautiful and joyful~ 

There was also the Fire Dragon Dance too,
a huge dragon that full of burning incense sticks,
it will dance all over the district to spread the good luck,
and wish everyone enjoying the festival~

See how lovely the lanterns! 

I attended a mask exhibition, how lovely and beautiful they are! 
Maybe I can go to Venice and have one? 

I am so lucky to have the chance to meet this antique Spain ship!
She is called Lucida and is a replica one, with a Spain flag on it.
She stayed here for a few days and will move to the next stop.
It is so funny to have it in the harbour, what a contrast with the ferries~

There will be lighting show at 8pm every night,
we stayed by the harbour and wait for it to start.

It lasts for about 10 minutes,
people kept on taking photos and so do us~ 

We even took some photos with the tiles too,
these kind of patterns were very common and popular in the past.

Other than ferry, I can even cross the harbour by travelling bus.
We got on a double beck bus and took a seat at the first row.

Here we are going into the Cross-Harbour Tunnel,
the busiest tunnel in Hong Kong.

Under the Victoria Harbour, there are three tunnels in total,
this one is the first tunnel. 

MTR, "Mass Transit Railway", is the underground railway system here.
Every stations has their own colour,
the stations are neat and tidy with air-conditioned.
What a colourful journey~ 

Mongkok is the crowdest place in Hong Kong,
which suits its chinese name very much, if translated into English,
its name means crowded corner~ Hee~

Here you can see a lot of neon light signages, I think this scene is quite special. 

Nice dinner tonight~
It's the first time for me to try the japanese food.

All the food shows in the menu are delicious, I really want to try them all!
You know, elephant has a big stomach! 

At last, I tried the rice dumpling, cold udon,
baked mushrooms with butter and sushi too,
it's exciting to eat with wasabi!! 

Amazing lego exhibition,
it shows some customs and popular places in Hong Kong.
There are the Seated Buddha Statue in Lantau Island,
Lion Dance, Hong Kong Coliseum, and Wong Tai Sin too.

The model are so detailed that you can even see legoman eating ice cream! 
The funniest thing is that Buzz Lightyear,
Batman and Spiderman are taking part in the Bun Festival~ 

We even took a photo together at the Great Wall miniature.

Chinese dinner~
I think I am addicted to tea~ 

Food are delicious, I tried the "Dan Dan Mian",
a kind of noodels with peanut sauce,
and the "Siao Lung Pao" too, the pork fillings are juicy~~ yum yum.
The big bowl of Wuton made me full~
Finally I had the rice dumpling,
I chose the saltl one instead of the sweet one,
there are some dried pork inside, a bit crispy~ Nice food~

Hi mum,
I'm in Milan, first of all I saw the Cathedral called Duomo which is placed in the main square of the town.
Then I went to the Ferrari store, where you can find every king of gadget about this famous (and expensive!) car!
In the end I saw the Royal palace where a lot of people were queuing to enter some art exposition.
Bye for now

Hi mum,
