“Recollecting your memories in Hong Kong” by riding with KMB
The Kowloon Motor Bus Co. (1933) Ltd. (“KMB”) presents an all-new event, “Recollecting your memories in Hong Kong” this winter. Participants can visit a total of 10 places representing Hong Kong and reminisce about the good old days with their friends and relatives or even create new memories together, drawing 2022 to a perfect end.
There are lots of places of interest in Hong Kong and each brings different memories to you – some are happy, some are sad, some are memorable, some are touching… And these are the memories that create our unique sense of belonging to Hong Kong. From 26 November, 2022 (Saturday) to 2 January, 2023, KMB’s “Recollecting your memories in Hong Kong” will place stamps with patterns representing the characteristics of its location at ten different bus stops, which participants can stamp on a beautiful-designed postcard. The picture on the postcard will be completed when all stamps are collected, and that’s the time to write down genuine messages to friends and relatives on the other side of the world or yourself to end the year of 2022 with love and thoughts and embrace another year.
