The Good Wish Garden
” Lost in Translation “
I didn’t think it was possible for a person to get lost so many times… I was wrong. I should name this trip as ” Lost in Hong Kong ” This mighty giant has swallowed me whole. It’s a fast paced, fast talking, fast moving force! It’s busy, strong, glossy, mindful, tall, spiral, forceful, polished, spiritual, sleepless, rough and smooth all in one. Just getting lost in Yin and Yang of it all.
- Made a wish at The Wish Temple
 Wish Temple
- Was lost about 100 times
 Busy streets of Hong Kong
- Fortune teller told me I need to polish my communication skills
 My fortune
- Got a bracelet for “luck”, shortly after ATM machine ate my Credit Card ( I kept wondering if they forgot to tell me that it was in fact a “bad luck” bracelet )
- Explored Hong Kong Metro
 HK metro
- Had an amazing evening at the “Felix” in The Peninsula Hotel with stunning views
- Witnessed a ceremony for the dead in Central
 Ceremony for the dead. ( helping souls go to heaven )
- Visited art gallery
- Wondered the streets without particular destination
 Central
- Stepped over the railing at The Peak( the feeling is indescribable! )
 The Peak  “oh, I’m sorry officer, I didn’t see that tiny sign at the bottom..”  One must always attempt to conquer his fears, regardless of the outcome… ( Could’ve been a great last shot .. don’t try this at home ) September 2010

wow. i cannot believe you stepped over the railing in the last pic. you are fearless!
Oh snap! I grew up in Hong Kong and have never seen anyone go over the railing at the Peak. props!
You’re so hilarious and unapologetically you…it’s refreshing! Luv! Sexy too!
Will you marry me?
that’s a first proposal on this blog : )
On this blog? So, it’s happened on others? Damn, always the bridesmaid😉
Elena, I like u..I like ur philosophy of life…
LOVE your photos. I have also travelled to HK and i know how insanely overwhelming yet deeply satisfying the place can be. Great shots keep it up!
Looks like you had fun getting lost!
I love the pulse of the city in Hong Kong – it’s so exciting!
Alright! You go girl! Another brave heart! I love the Edge shots. If I was there, i would do the same thing and get on the edge
You must always push yourself to feel more than just normal and feel your hear beat and realize that we are living!
Besides, you don’t realize how many times you get away with the line, ” I didn’t see that sign…sorry” and ” I didn’t understand what the sign say…Sorry”
Thank you darling. It’s great to come across other daredevils : )
keep pushing the limits & getting close to edges of life
Hong Kong ATM’s are epic! my mom’s card got eaten up twice on our trip!
and yes! stepping over the railing is an amazing feeling indded, the wind whipping you hair and against your face… soothing!😀
hate those atm’s ! have you read my Stone Town Atm story yet? You’ll get a laugh..
ps – there are no words to describe that over the railing experience : )
i’ll go through it right now!
haaa haaa.. i read that! “Card capture”! epic..
poor you, you should actually stop carrying cards, and stuff in cash!😛
have you even visited India?
hahaha I actually do that now
no, never been .. hopefully soon.. why, do they have friendly atm’s? : )

Cool blog, I have only read your Hong Kong one so far. Who takes your photos for you?
u should start with el page, it will lead you through my blog. Sometimes photos of me are self-portraits, but most of the time it’s whoever stands near me..
welcome to my blog.

cool, arnt you ever worried they will run away with your camera? especialy when your on the other side of a railing? My wife is traveling with me and I try and get her to take pictures
if i ever worried about this kind of stuff I would have never made it to where i am today : ))
I don’t like that last shot. Its one of my nightmares. And it doesn’t end well. I get arrested.
Hi Elena, this is a wonderful blog! Thanks also for liking my piece, I’m new to this whole blogosphere!
I just have to say that you are a very VERY brave soul to have stepped outside the railing up at the Peak, and stayed there for at least a few photos!
Here’s to living life to the fullest,
Angela
I am headed there soon – I guess I better go to the peak!! Great Blog Elena.

Hey, thanks for the visit to my blog. I appreciate your sense of adventure, and your outlook on life comes through strong in your writing. I’m in China for the next year or so, will have to make it to Hong Kong soon.
Safe travels!
Next time when you’re planning a trip to Asia – go to Thailand! If I’m in town – would love to show you around! Some amazing photos you’ve got!
Thank you and will do! Never been to Thailand : (
Aw man, we didn’t make it to the Peak the first time I was in Hong Kong, but I’m living across the water near Macau and will be sure to see it the next time I’m there. HK is such an intense city!
Thanks for visiting my blog! Loved exploring yours! Will be back!
uhMAzing! You are so brave! I’m hoping to visit Hong Kong next month. I’ll have to take a look over the railing at The Peak to see exactly HOW DANGEROUS a risk you took. hahaha
Like it a lot.
wonderful journey ~
i love your blog
Thank you Colin and welcome!
love & light,
EL
