During my trip to Hong Kong, one of the main reasons I chose to stay at Mandarin Oriental was the chance to enjoy their English afternoon tea at a relaxed pace. When I saw the complete set of tea utensils, the three-tiered dessert platter, and the beautifully embroidered tablecloth, it felt like a special ceremony.
On a rainy afternoon in Macao, I decided to visit the famous Ruins of St. Paul's and enjoy the view. While standing in front of the remaining facade of St. Paul's Church, I couldn't help but admire the beauty of those ancient walls. However, strangely, my thoughts kept wandering back to the vibrant casinos.
On that day, my friend took me to the largest beer garden in Bavaria: Königlicher Hirschgarten. We arrived around 4 p.m., and since it was still before the end of the workday, the place appeared quite empty. However, I heard that on weekday evenings and holidays, it can get incredibly crowded.
