Alex and I celebrating my birthday at a jazz bar, no presents needed!Low waste gift giving: one solution is the gift of experiences, one of our personal favourite being local ones! So, we thought we would follow up with a post on some experiences we think are great for HK that require no waste at all! The best part for a lot of these is that its cost effective too, and you create memories which we love. Personally our favourites (as a couple) are exploring the islands around HK and just walking around places we've never been to before, learning about our beautiful city we call home as we go alone! (and parks! and beaches! we love everything outdoors, a quick google search will show you all the beautiful places in HK)Local FarmsA super fun experience to get out of the bustling city of HK and go to some of it's country side instead, as well as meeting and connecting with local eco-conscious people, is to visit local farms! Flower World Organic Farm They have cooking classes, gardening workshops, and offer pick-your own strawberries, tomatoes, corn, and lettuce, and have food available on site. They also have a special focus on flowers!PO Box 31 Sze Pai Shek Village, Kam Tin, Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong. +852 3126 5155.Hello Kitty Go Green Organic Farm This one I love because they have a petting zoo with goats and bunnies, as well as having traditional farm options and food available.Sze Pai Shek, Kam Tin, Yuen Long, New Territories, Hong Kong. +852 5579 2178.
