Movie Recommendation:
“Il Mare  (Korean)”

 

I hope you would like this beautifully made romantic movie from Korea.

Story: Moving into "Il Mare", his new house by the sea side, Sung-hyun finds a delivery in his mailbox, a letter sent by a woman called Eun-ju who supposedly lives in the same house but two years later. They continue to correspond through the magic mailbox and arrange to meet…

How was Hiking 01#05 Sunday 29 July 2001: Trip to Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls?


Trip plan: We’ll go up to all four waterfalls, and return by the same route. The path was mostly shaded which made the hike much more enjoyable. Nothing beats the feeling of resting and relaxing by the waterfalls on a cool summer day, okay, perhaps sitting by the beach with a cold drink may score higher.

 

Trip report: The trip to Ng Tung Chai Waterfalls was really great, 14 people turned up on a beautiful day. The waterfalls were all spectacular thanks to the recent typhoons which brought plenty of water to each waterfalls.
