"My Sassy Girl" (Korea 2001)
Read the review on my movie site.
Kyun-woo is an ordinary 25 year-old boy whose parents think he is dumb. One evening, he saves a drunk pretty girl from falling off the train platform. He is mistaken as the boyfriend of this mysterious girl and have to take care of her for the night. Kyun-woo ends up in the police station for seemingly questionable behaviour. After a series of misfortunes, Kyun-woo finally becomes the boyfriend of this sassy, bossy girl. Is it the beginning of his nightmare or is this the true love that he has been waiting for?

How was hiking 02#01: Sat 16 Feb 2002 Shung Mun Reservoir?

Trip plan: Take mini van No. 82 to the Pineapple dam and walk a full circle around the Shing Mun Reservior. There is very a informative visitor centre at the starting points, plenty of interesting views, lots of trees and bamboo forest and of course the reservoir.

Trip report: 16 people turned up on a warm sunny day. We headed off to the station for mini-bus no. 82 and soon found that there was an unusally long queue, so perhaps many other people had decided that it was a good day for hiking too. We took the taxi instead and arrived at our starting point, the Pineapple dam of Shung Mun Reservoir. It was gentle, easy to follow trail, we stopped at various points to admire the view, took some photos and enjoy some ice cream cones near the end of the journey. We saw lots of monkeys along the way. It was a pretty relax and enjoyable 3-hr walk.
