Being a poor undergraduate uni student I am, I haven't been able to go overseas more than once. The only time I did was a 3 month holiday trip back in late December 2002 to February 2003 with my mom and my two sisters to my home country for Chinese New Year celebrations with a lot of my relatives. (who hadn't seen me since I was 4 years old after moving to Australia)

As you would know, studying Japanese back at school certainly made me interested in going there for the school trips but I never did due to the budget. I had always thought I'd want to go to Japan due to my high level of interest in Japanese culture and anime but now there's a country I want to visit more so than Japan!

Hong Kong! XD. That's right, Hong Kong. Maybe it's because I've started re-watching a lot of Hong Kong TVB drama series that sparked this but I grew up watching quite a lot of Hong Kong drama series from both modern and ancient eras when I was young and then stopped when I was in my VCE years.

The one thing that always fascinated me of Hong Kong society is the food stalls there'd be on the streets where the sellers would always pack up quickly and run away with it whenever the police officers arrived. I saw quite a few of those scenarios in many of the Hong Kong series I watched when I was younger, it always made me laugh lol.

I really do hope I get to travel there in the future although it seems they're sacrificing a lot of their culture for modern stuff like building a shopping mall over the food market in the streets. Speaking of which, I really should start learning how to speak Cantonese more lol. I remember I used to speak in Cantonese as a child whenever I talked to my mom but stopped when I was around 6 or 7 years old.
