Everything I Was Ever Told About Hong Kong Was A Lie!
Everything I was ever told about Hong Kong was a lie!!!! Yes you read that correctly. I was lied to! LIED TO! Alright, melodrama aside - I wasn't lied to, however, what I was told over the years by many is not the Hong Kong that I discovered through both research and on my recent... Continue Reading →

Sunday Special -Dolni Morava Skywalk, Czech Republic
