Gangsta Hike

So far this month is pretty memorable...

On Saturday I went hiking with associates from Horwath, the company that I'll be working for from April-May. The hike was sponsored by some environmental organization, so it was for a good cause. The hike was 25 kilometers, which converts to around 15-16 miles. That's kinda super OD beast! Well, not as far as mileage is concerned, because I once walked the entire length of Manhattan Island with my two friends (from the Broadway Bridge on 220th St. to the S.I Ferry) for no reason at all. And that was around 14 miles! But what made this hike kinda super OD beast was that we went up and down mountains and valleys and countless steps. But overall, the hike was AMAZING! It's crazy that there are legitimate mountains and greenery adjacent to HK's urban jungle. And on the other side of the mountains were little fishing villages and beach towns that look like they're a world away from Hong Kong. Yet it's all Hong Kong, from the beaches to the valleys to the hiking trails to the miles and miles of wilderness. And all within a 30 minute drive of urban HK. I really want to come to one of those beach towns one day with some friends and a stereo and just kick it. Listen to some old school West Coast and bbq. How sick would that be? I'll get at that once the weather gets hot.
