Uncovering Hong Kong at My Own Pace

How do I even start my story. It has been a little over a month after I flew back from Hong Kong and every weekend I could spare was either filled with something I had to do instead of writing this post or I couldn’t assemble my thoughts well on how that trip was like.

I was running away from an unfortunate event prior to this trip, this was exactly what I needed to get loose of the heavy feeling I was trying to unload myself from. Surprisingly, it turned out to be splendid. It was filled with a lot of firsts for me and it made me discover a lot of things about myself – the very essence of traveling. 

Yesinn @Causeway Bay: The Perfect Hostel Experience

A few weeks after leaving Hong Kong, I still couldn't relieve myself from the separation anxiety it has caused me. The trip was indeed one of the longest I had, but apparently it felt just short. I was craving for more though I had enough of the days well-spent in this part of China.

Rewinding, I could still remember how I was endlessly skimming through the numerous accommodation websites such as Agoda, TripAdvisor, HostelWorld and Booking and was meticulously scrutinizing the best beds to stay at in Hong Kong.

Couchsurfing was indeed an option I hope was feasible, but among the major cities in the world, I think couch surfing hosts in Hong Kong are quite few in number.

After reading the overwhelming positive feedback for Yesinn Hostel at Causeway Bay, I was confident enough to present the idea to my wander mates Tom and Ken, and without second thoughts, we booked four nights at their Causeway site.
