HK Marathon 2008, 17 Feb 2008

HK Marathon will be her 11th anniversary on 17 Feb 2008. It is a big Day for all runners.

HK Marathon is recognised as the biggest sport event in Hong Kong. Over 40000 runners participated in the 2007 contest.

I ran HK Marathon for 3 years and will join Half-Marathon (22km) this year. It is a really big physical and mental challenge to me.

Hong Kong citizens are becoming more aware of their health. We do exercise regularly.

Jogging and running are the most popular among the varieties of sports.

You can find quite a lot of people, either youngster or elderly running and jogging in the government owned running tracks.

Japanese Food

I love Japanese Food! There are some gorgeous restaurants, some for set lunch/dinner, and some just for sushi.

Normally, we can find a Japanese Food Restaurant in any district, almost in every shopping arcade. In most area that tourist will go, you can find a series of Japanese Food Restaurant, from high class to "down-to-earth" type. Enjoy it. Most of the Japanese food in Hong Kong are in good quality and reasonable price. :)
