Travel Research: Hong Kong

I'm a big fan of the internet; I've tried my best to do my research on Hong Kong through bloggers and stuff, so I'm here to share some links with you. I've also been visiting Hong Kong annually with my best friend, for the past 3 years, note that the only way you'll go around is more or less by taking the train or by foot,

playlist: For The Drive Back Home

This month's playlist has a mix of genres; i don't use Spotify other than for blogging purposes, but this month I had some issues with itunes and discovered some songs! 2014 is coming to an end, meaning it's the festive month. I don't celebrate Christmas but the idea of it takes my breath away, I imagine driving back home to be apart of the holidays. Speaking of holidays, I'll be visiting Hong Kong with a bunch of my friends which is very exciting. I really hope you enjoy this month's unusual playlist.

I'd consider Taylor Swift & Becky G to be the odd ones from the list, but their music videos were... mesmerising. Sean O'pry was in Blank Space (◡‿◡✿) and I really liked the transitioning between scenes in Shower, it was hella smooth. Vampire Weekend's Horchata & Holiday and Birdy's White Winter Hymnal was very appropriate for December. I'll be explaining my favourite part of each song under "read more"

Tracklist: 

Prayer in C - Lily Wood and The Prick

Rocket Ship - San Cisco

Horchata - Vampire Weekend

Keep It for Your Own - POP ETC 

Holiday - Vampire Weekend

Yellow Flickr Beat - Lorde

After the Disco - Broken Bells
