Museum Context: Enter Potterhead's Favorite Place in HK

Image
It was June 6, 2019, at about 3 p.m. A very hot afternoon at that time.   I was waiting with my family for an MTR ride back to Tsim Sha Tsui from Ocean Park station. We just did a top up to our Octopus Card and didn’t have any plan to visit more destinations when my father suggested to stop by at Causeway Bay for just wandering around.  All of sudden something just crossed my mind. I remembered a place that I haven’t yet visited. It was located in Causeway Bay. Yup, Museum Context! At 3.30 pm, we arrived in Causeway Bay MTR Station . Super crowded since it was Hong Kong’s rush hour. We quickly looked for a suitable exit for Museum Context area. Minutes later, we decided to use the Hysan Place exit . We walked for three minutes. And abracadabra, we discovered this tiny store with “Museum Context” word sticked on its windows. It was situated in a building’s 2nd floor. I was so excited and entered the Potterhead store in a speed of light. My cousin went to this place in Decem...

When in Western Australia, Where to Go? (A Bucket List)

Image
Hello again! For me, Western Australia is the best pick when you want to balance between natural, historical, and modern tourist destinations. I went there with my big family for one week in September 2010 (yup, exactly a decade ago!), and still leaves us a very good impression about the place. We prepared the visa months before and went there via JetStar airline (it’s the well-known not-very-pricey airline). I remembered encountering this sweet old couple in their 50s who were going to Amsterdam to visit their son. Just the two of them. Very romantic. Perth City (Photo credit: Holiday Travel ) We were a total of 15 people and that was my biggest and most exciting vacation so far. It was lucky enough not to spend our money on hotel accommodation or a tour guide because we have a relative living there. We had most of our time spent in Perth. For the transportation, we mostly took a city bus in the Perth area, then continued taking a walk for kilometers. To go to Albany and other a bit f...

Inside Hong Kong: All is Interesting Here

Image
Hello… On this occasion, I will share my trip to Hong Kong last year in June 2019 and I’ve wanted to share this trip since last year actually. I had a very great time there. It was a family vacation and we didn’t use any tour guide. Plus, there is no visa needed to go there, so the preparation is simple.  We stayed there for 5 nights. The plane ticket was not pricey because we had bought it 5 months before (It’s a ‘hack’ if you want to get a cheap plane ticket). With that not-very-pricey ticket, we already got the chance(?) to feel the comfort in the number one best airline in the world: Singapore Airlines. Why did I want to share this journey? Because it was both exciting yet silly for me with many unexpected things happening in the process. Love or hate it, it was still a great time being there. -Approximate reading duration: 15 minutes- Credit: g...
