So, this is exciting: My favorite Japanese band will be going on another international tour next year! More importantly, their stops include Hong Kong and Bangkok, Thailand, places which are pretty near and accessible from the Philippines. I remember the first time we went to see L'arc was in May 2008, during their Trans Asia performance in Hong Kong's Asia Expo. I think I wrote about it in my multiply... oh, here we are . Now, first off, we wait for them to announce actual tour dates. Determine who will come with. Then watch for promo sales on Cebu Pacific. Set accommodations. And finally, ACQUIRE BUG EYES WAITING FOR TICKETS TO BE SOLD ONLINE! Looks like we have one travel plan mapped out for next year already. I hope my baby will forgive me for leaving him/her with the grandparents for a weekend or so. :P

It IS possible to appreciate Hong Kong! You just shouldn't visit Tokyo for 2 weeks first. Last week's trip was very, mind-opening, and eventful... in more ways than one. Our Friday night departure from Manila lived up to expectations--and made me see how futile it was to depend on Murphy's law keeping its distance--when our flight out was delayed for TWO HOURS. We were supposed to leave at around 7pm but left at around 9pm instead. I was slightly worried about our accommodations, since leaving late meant arriving late. I crossed my fingers that since I had already paid the deposit through the internet beforehand and informed them about our flight details, the hostel would have no other choice but to wait up for us. The Arrival We called these "Walkalators". Very convenient for big airports. We touched down at HK International Airport around 12mn. We were all tired, but ecstatic. Hori was very excited since it was his first time out of the country. Paul...
