Another beer from Miffa
Published January 8, 2009 Food and restaurants 3 CommentsTags: beer, Christmas, Miffa
This time I tried the Mahou, which is not found in Hong Kong at all.

Finally I cracked open the Spanish San Miguel given to me by Miffa.
My sister tasted it and said it was a bit dry. I, as usual, cannot tell the difference from beer to beer!
Here’s 9J sipping it.

Ngong Ping 360

Hello, everyone, 9J here!
I went to Ngong Ping 360 with Anita and her friends. Ngong Ping is on Lantau Island, where the airport is.
At first the cable car looked a bit scary. It was very high and there was an incident about one of the cars dropping (while no one was inside). But we were unharmed through out and the scenery was very pretty. We rode the cable car from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping, where the big monastery called Po Lin is situated. We went up to look at the big Buddha statue and it was tiring.
- In the Cable Car
- The ventilation of the cable car is behind yoru seat, so when you sit down your butt is cold!
- Ngong Ping Village
- Wisdom Path
- Looking down from where the big Buddha is
- The Buddha Statue
- The Buddhist three Magi?
- Hot Ginger Vitasoy (soy milk), a real Hong Kong treat!
Thank you again, Miffa!
