Minifigs invade Hong Kong

After the minifigs' experiences at the World Conference, the exciting city of Hong Kong beckoned!

Using their newly purchased Octopus cards, they travelled the length and breadth of the region by metro...

 ...by tram...

...by ferry...

...and even by escalator...

They learnt to eat Hong Kong style...

...sharing tasty local delicacies.

They had a close encounter with some super-sized seafood...

...then went hunting for yellow fruits for dessert.

Refuelled, they set out to explore, firstly meeting some of the local residents.

They stumbled upon some traditional crafts...

...and learnt that in Hong Kong techniques for making camp gadgets are used for scaffolding to build houses.

There was time for a spot of souvenir shopping...

..and they enjoyed city life into the night.

After the intense Conference experience, the minifigs were in need of some rest and relaxation, and discovered on Lama Island that there's more to Hong Kong than skyscrapers.

They had a fantastic time sharing their exploits with a new friend from New Zealand, who showed them some stunning sights in Hong Kong. In the spirit of international friendship, they sent some cousins with her on her journey Down Under to deliver greetings to Guiding in Asia Pacific.

After a whirlwind ten days, immersed in global guiding and life in a global city, the minifigs went their separate ways - some travelling further into Asia, others returning to the UK.

They had an amazing trip, seeing another part of the world and learning more about our worldwide movement.
