last day - at the prague airport
before returning to Hong Kong, we bumped into the gang (nat_chiu, david, kevin tsang and jess chan) at the prague airport!!! wait...not really....they all came to this terminal because I WAS THERE. haha i was SO HAPPY!!!
funny thing is, we're taking different routes but with the same destination: hong kong. david's transferring from london, ticon and i from seoul and the rest from paris. we met up again in HK and went yum cha one sunday afternoon:
3 weeks later - getting the long-awaited Gaudi postcard from the gang :D

the Szechenyi Baths: spent a splashing and relaxing afternoon here taking a thermal bath and watching some ah baks play chess!!!
HUNGARY [2]: statue park
指示不足，語言不通，幾經波折終於去到這個旅遊書說必去的 statue park，點知...CLOSE 左!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
我唔甘心，厚住面皮問看更亭裡的 security guard: 為何關了門？不是說 "open til sunset" 的嗎？
指手畫腳一輪之後 (read: 俾我 LUR 左好耐之後)，個 security guard 好無奈地帶我們到入口，然後用手指在牆上寫了幾個數字："1000".
比起原來的學生入場費，還要便宜 200!!!!! (當然, 全數袋落個 security guard 個袋度啦.) 接下來的 30 分鐘，成個 park 俾我地兩個玩晒!!!!! HAHHAHAHA
狂影一翻之後，正想離開，怎料個 security guard 突然說："咪住！！！"
當我以為佢想勒索時，佢笑笑口指我地去個 park 後面一個 block，一個我們差點 miss了的景點. wahahaha.
講左咁耐，究竟 statue park 有乜咁吸引？
"When regimes fall, so do their monuments. Just think of all those statues of Stalin and Lenin --- or Saddam Hussein --- crashing to the ground. Throughout Eastern Europe, people couldn't wait to get rid of these reminders of their oppressors. But some clever entrepreneur hoarded Budapest's, and now has collected them in a park just southwest of the city --- where tourists flock to get a taste of the communist era." - an extract from my travel book
