**Hike: Hong Kong Trail (sections 1-4) & Challenge** **Difficulty Level:** 3 out of 5 **Distance:** 25 km **Time:** 7 hours (approximate) **Description and Challenge**: Let’s Conquer the Hong Kong Trail – In Two Epic Parts! The Hong Kong Trail is a legendary 50 km route that runs almost the entire length of Hong Kong Island, split into 8 scenic sections. Hiking all 50 km in one go? That’s a bit much (even for the pros!), so we’re breaking it into two awesome adventures. **Why join?** * Jaw-dropping views of Hong Kong Island, lush mountains, sparkling reservoirs, and even historic military relics. * A chance to celebrate the trail’s 40th anniversary with the “Unlocking Hong Kong Trail” Challenge! (Registration optional, but hey, why not?) **Sign up here:** https://www.unlockinghktrail.hk/register **The Plan:** ✅ **Saturday, Jan 24:** Sections 1–4 (25 km) ✅ **Saturday, Jan 31:** Sections 5–8 (25 km) Want to complete the full Hong Kong Trail? Make sure you RSVP for **both events**! **What to bring:** * 3-4 liters of water * Snacks to eat along the way (sandwich, fruits, nuts, etc) * Hiking shoes with good support * Sunglasses * Headgear (cap/hat) * Sunscreen * Bug Spray * In case of Rain: plan accordingly **Toilets:** There are some toilets here and there. I do not know how many there are or if they will be in service. You might need to get creative : ) **Stores:** There are stores at the start and end of the trails. It is best to come prepared with food and water. **Meeting Point:** The Victoria Peak - Gino's Gelato **Time:** 10:00 am (SHARP!) **IMPORTANT:** Out of respect to the members that arrive on time, we will only be able to wait a maximum of 5 minutes. Should you arrive after 10:05 am, I will no longer be answering phone calls or responding to messages as I need to give my time and attention to those that have arrived on time.

We’re heading to Ned Devine’s Irish Gastro Pub, and we’d love for you to join us! This will be our group’s first time visiting, and it’s easy to see why it’s a great choice, vibrant artwork, delicious food and drinks, and a lively atmosphere that’s perfect for mingling and making new connections.

Y’all are invited to a boot-stompin’, toe-tappin’ country line dancing night with Social Sips & Bites. We’re bringing together good music, a lively dance floor, and even better company for a night full of classic country vibes. The night kicks off with a line-dancing lesson, so no experience is needed. Whether it’s your first two-step or you already know a few classics, you’ll be guided through the moves before the open dancing begins. After that, it’s all about country hits, cold drinks, and enjoying the rhythm together. Come learn the steps, feel the country vibes, and dance the night away with Social Sips & Bites.

**This isn’t just a meetup. This is a full-night vibe.** A new spot for us, but the same legendary Social Sips & Bites energy you know and love. Join Social Sips & Bites for an all-out night of dinner, drinks, DJ-driven music, and dancing-the kind of night where the plan is simple: show up, relax, and let the evening unfold. Early vibes We kick things off with dinner and drinks, easy conversations, familiar faces, and new connections. It’s the perfect warm-up- lots of laughs, great energy, and that unmistakable feeling that the night is about to level up. 9:00 PM - GAME ON The DJ turns it up. The dance floor comes alive. The room shifts from hangout to full celebration. And before you know it, we’re dancing well into the early hours of the morning. What to expect • DJ and dance floor • High-energy music, great food, strong drinks • A welcoming crowd that knows how to have a good time • One of those nights you swear you’re leaving… but somehow stay Come early to connect. Stay late to dance. Lose track of time somewhere in between. This is Social Sips & Bites — and we’re just getting started.

Yummy Bowl serves Mongolian BBQ, sushi, and ramen. Mongolian BBQ is a stir-fry style of cuisine where you place a selection of raw noodles/rice, vegetables, fruit, and protein in to a bowl along with your choice of sauces and the dish is cooked for you on a large, round grill while you wait. Every bowl is delicious and you are the chef so the selection gets better every time! Expect entrees in the range of $17 plus tax and beverage. This is a great opportunity to meet others who are new as well as those who have been around a while! Look for GRASP table flyers and Eli's GRASP shirt to easily find the group. We can't wait to see you there!

Join us for a high-energy night of live music with one of the popular DC-area bands!

We’ll be hanging out and partying with our friends from NOVA Live, so expect great vibes, a fantastic crowd, and nonstop energy all night. Great music. Great people. See you at Jimmy’s Old Town Tavern.
