Hong Kong has always held a special place in my heart. The bustling streets, vibrant culture, and, most importantly, the food scene, make it a destination I eagerly look forward to. However, for some inexplicable reason, every time I visit this enchanting city, I find myself entangled in rather unfortunate events. Don't get me wrong, I adore Hong Kong, but it seems to have a knack for throwing unexpected challenges my way.

A Love Affair with Hong Kong
Let me be clear—I have nothing against Hong Kong; in fact, I love it dearly. There's something about the city's energy that draws me in every time. Whether it's the aromatic street food, the bustling markets, or the stunning skyline, Hong Kong never fails to captivate me.



During our last trip to Hong Kong, my partner took charge of my bag, leaving me hands-free as we explored the city's culinary delights. Disaster struck as we got separated in a crowd, and I found myself stranded without means of communication.

With no phone or wallet, anxiety set in as I retraced our steps back to the hotel, relying on my sense of direction and memory of landmarks. Two agonizing hours later, my partner found me safe and sound after initiating a city-wide search, involving even the local police. We shared a nervous laugh at the lesson learned: "Ladies, carry your own bag!"

Despite this unexpected twist, we cherished the memorable moments in Hong Kong, where we found beauty and joy amid the challenges of travel.
