We met some tough opponents, who also became our best friends. We are forever grateful to the schools and clubs that made our trip meaningful and fulfilling. The sportsmanship and teamwork shown by everyone made the trip even more special.
However, the tour wasn’t all about football. We explored Hong Kong’s vibrant attractions. From thrilling rides at Ocean Park, the City Light Show and the Peak Tram, to trips to the Sky100 Observation Deck, Shek O Beach and Cup Noodle Museum, we had the time of our lives. One of our favourite activities was the visit to the night markets, where we all learned the skill of “haggling” for the best deals possible. We all took home bags full of goodies, some genuine and some not so.
Along the way, we spotted many fancy cars and one famous face – the tennis GOAT, Roger Federer. Hong Kong certainly has its glamour.
The height of our tour (no pun intended) was catching the Ngong Ping cable car to the Big Buddha. Gliding through the clouds, we ascended towards the impressive and mighty 34-metre-tall statue, where we paid our respects and were blessed with a safe trip home.
