What do you wish for? We all wish for something, no matter who we are or what we already have or don’t have. I visited the Wishing Tree the last time I was in Hong Kong, and just like all the other millions of people who have wished upon the tree, made a wish of my very own. It’s like wishing on a star. But instead of saying the age old, “Starlight, starbright. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight”, you write your wish down on a piece of wishing paper, tie a mandarin orange to it, then throw it up onto the Wishing Tree. Legend has it, if your wish lands on the tree without falling off, then your wish will come true.
