The Stray Kitten

This month, Virgin Australia started daily flights to Hong Kong from Melbourne.  So we decided to hop on a plane, and visit the land of fashion and skyscrapers!  I am usually a psychotic planner when it comes to holidays, but this time, I had no clue what to expect or where to go.
