Hatched the idea to travel with Melissa and Leo last May while celebrating her birthday at Casa Armas in Trinoma. Booked our flight tickets after our dinner celebrating my birthday at Le Maison also in Trinoma this time minus Leo.
Our last trip together was in Sapporo 2007. Hong Kong was supposed to serve as our entry for the Beijing train adventure but we didn't get the Chinese visa - hated queuing at the consulate in Makati. We ended up staying in the city for 7 days. Highlights include:
1) me having an anxiety attack on the fist day thinking that Melissa might suffocate and die because of the dust mites in our room at the Chungking Mansion;
2) almost buying a fake camera (didn't know they also sell it in reputable looking stores near the mansion);
3) Melissa having an anxiety attack too before going back due to a certain "speedy Louis" =)
