Have you been on holiday with your husband or wife lately? It’s always good to get away from work, and get a great holiday for two. Since getting married in June 2007, both of us have travelled on several romantic trips, such as spa holiday to Tokyo, Japan in October 2007 and then during Christmas 2007, we headed to Korea for ski holiday.
It was my first time skiing (even though i looked very comfortable) so i appreciated the skiing lessons provided by my Korean Ski Coach. Here is a photo of both of us at Gangchon Ski Resort in Korea.
Harrace has skiied in the USA many years ago so he decided to go for a more challenging scope. And as usual, we had so much fun laughing when he fell down, but he stood up fast again and continue to ski.
As for me, i couldn’t even stand still so i was basically skiing backwards, sidewards and boy, were we tired at the end of the ski session. You can check out this url http://flickr.com/photos/internetmarketing/sets/72157603919901295/ for more Korea holiday photos.
What is good about skiing?
- learn a new sports together
- great exercise and one of best way to burn fat
- laugh about your spouse when they fall down
- ski resort is fun in the day, and romantic at night
- cool weather so you can hug your loved one tight!
Have you tried skiing? I can’t wait for my next skiing trip!

I’m sure all of you are aware of the February 14 being Valentine’s Day. Today itself is another interesting date for Chinese worldwide as it’s the Chinese Valentine’s Day. This is the 15th day of the chinese new year (lunar new year changes each year depending on the lunar calendar).
For me, it is also ultra special because it marks the first year anniversary of my Hong Kong wedding (which was Mar 4, 2007 and in chinese calendar it’s the 15th day of the chinese new year). Check out my HK wedding dinner photo and wedding ceremony on our wedding site at http://www.9wedding.com
If you have not enjoyed a proper western valentine’s day last week, take this last chance to tell your loved one how much you appreciate him or her. For sure, the prices of the flowers are way lower this time!
Happy Valentine’s Day ! And if you need to say that out in Chinese, here are the 2 simple ways to say i love you.
- mandarin (used in China, and Taiwan) it’s “wo ai ni”

A nice looking teacher offered NT1,000,000 if you successfully matchmake her with a prospective husband. This is not a joke, but a real case of a Taiwanese teacher, which was featured on the Taiwan tv news. You might think that the person has to look weird if they offered money to get married. She was totally the opposite, and i found her to look quite attractive.

Back to our 2007 Valentine’s Day dinner, we checked out California Pizza Kitchen (as they had a nice nice view of the harbour area & the tables were widely separated apart), but when reaching there, we changed our minds as there was a long queue. This is going to be our last Valentine’s Day as a dating couple so we wanted to enjoy every single moment.
I’ve seen reviews about a popular Vietnamese restaurant in Harbour City shopping mall called Rice Paper and we’ve not been there yet, so we tried it out. The valentine’s day set would be about HK$1,000 but i asked for them whether we could order ala-carte as the set had things which i didn’t quite liked eating. Since it was already the later part of the evening, the waitress obliged.
When choosing a romantic venue as your dining spot, you should consider the decor at the restaurant, and the crowds to expect. It would be less romantic when you have other tables just next to you and the whole night, you have to put up with their loud conversations.
This vietnamese restaurant provided a soothing intimate feel, and we were able to enjoy a romantic dinner together.
We started off with their popular rice paper sugarcane prawns.
One thing about Vietnamese food is that they use lots of fresh leaves / spices. We basically used rice paper, and swept the lime sauce dipping onto the rice paper (which really looks like paper) and then the paper will turn slightly soft. Then next was to put in leaves, vegetables, and then the prawn meat after being removed from the sugarcane. Roll the ingredients and you will need to use your hands to eat this so it was fun. This tastes really nice and gave us an even bigger appetite for the next course. This appetizer was about HK$75.

Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular celebrated day by lovers and couples worldwide. However, i feel that everyday can also be Valentine’s Day if we only put in some effort to it. We went to Tsim Sha Tsui and went to the Marco Polo Hong Kong hotel, but was not eager for their valentine’s day set, and from there, ventured around to check out other restaurants. Since it was near to the Lunar New Year, the Star Ferry terminal area was nicely decorated with lots of lanterns, flowers and we couldn’t resist taken some photos.
Here we are in front of the Ocean Centre shopping mall entrance.
