Reflection about what i think!

I started love writing a blog after using “The Blogger”, even though it is only an assignment. A blog is just like a platform for you to share some of your feeling, experience, photo and information etc to the public.

It is easy to control with every button; you can upload some pictures or video through a “upload” button which I think it could be more interesting when someone visiting my blog.

Writing a blog is one of the ways which a travel or hospitality company could promote themselves. Nowadays, there are so many ways get more information, such as people search on the internet; or even when they click into “Facebook”. Friends always update their status saying where they have been, or what have they just experienced, through uploading the photos or tag where they are. It is very easy to get information by joining a Group. Many companies have opened an account and try promoting themselves through this platform.


Day 2 in Disneyland

What a beautiful Sunny Day!

Let’s go to Disneyland today! Since we would like to arrive there earlier then the theme park opens at . We choose to order a take away “Dim-sum” and enjoy it on the bus. (Please don’t eat on the bus like us because it is illegal!)

Yummy! Traditional chinese brunch without chinese tea on the ride.

Hong Kong Disneyland (Chinese: 香港迪士尼樂園) is located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. It is the first theme park located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and is owned and managed by the Hong Kong International Theme Parks. The park opened to visitors on 12 September 2005. Disney attempted to avoid problems of cultural backlash by attempting to incorporate Chinese culture, customs, and traditions when designing and building the resort, including adherence to the rules of Feng Shui. For instance, a bend was put in a walkway near the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort entrance so good "qi" (chi) energy wouldn't flow into the South China Sea.[1]

Check this out! Introducing Hong Kong Disneyland.
