Back in HK

Back in HK

After coming back from Taiwan I think my energy started to drain. I probably slept around 6 hours each night while I was in Taiwan to maximize my time, but once I was back in HK my laziness (and maybe some jetlag) finally kicked in. I didn’t really have a lot planned for my last two full days in HK.  On the first day I had to go to Kwuntong to meet my aunt, so I ended up going to…

Wetland Park & Yuen Long

Wetland Park & Yuen Long

For day 2 of my travels(?) in HK, I played the role of a tourist and asked my uncle to take me to Wetland Park, which is about an hour and a half away from where we live. After stopping for breakfast at the 茶餐廳 down the street, we hopped on the MTR then switched to the local LRT which would take us to Wetland Park. Once we arrived, we got in line for admission tickets. Since it was a…

Asia 2014

Asia 2014

Back from my most recent trip to Asia. Even though I’ve only been back in Toronto for a week, Asia already feels like a lifetime ago. It’s hard to believe I fit in so much during my time there! One of the most unique things this time around was experiencing all four seasons during a two-week span. From the 30°c weather in Taichung to the snow in Shirakawago, I’ve pretty much seen enough in two weeks to last me for…

CNY in Hong Kong

CNY in Hong Kong

從高雄回來一直留在香港過新年。雖然小時候曾經在香港度過這個節日、但已經忘記了這種熱鬧和氣氛、也更加沒有這種興奮。老實說,我很害怕人多的地方。高雄回來第二日就去維園行花市。這裡擺滿了檔口、根本見不到行人路、只見到一堆人迫入已滿的攤位。覺得很恐怖!我知道逛花市是個不能錯過的新年習俗、但實際上是很辛苦的!在維園只逗留兩個鐘頭、但已經達到最高限度、無法容忍下去。(ーー;) 這天晚上不想再出街、結果看了五個鐘頭無綫「新春黃金慶典」節目。懶人沒藥醫。 年初一早上跟嫲嫲拜年、然後陪她一起吃素。吃完後我們就去行mall。新年期間雖然有很多商店關門、但還有一半繼續正常營業。每天除了逛mall、就約朋友出街吃飯。有一晚經過TST看見遊行、也有一晚去灣仔看煙花。其實在香港過新年沒有什麼特別。大部分時間我什麼都不想做。每天悶悶不樂逗留在家裡雖然不是理想的、但一想起又擠迫又污糟的地方我就會選擇安靜留在家中。 有一晚KaKa帶我去TST的iSquare吃飯。餐廳叫做海南一號、是吃廣東菜。但因為剛剛從高雄回來吃得過多了、沒有胃口欣賞這裡的美食。幸好餐廳在於30樓、所以還可以欣賞這裡的美景。可惜他們太懂得做生意、要幫襯bar才可以出外面的露台。我只在坐位望見維港的激光燈、但已經很滿足。 年初三自己一個坐巴士去馬鞍山。雖然已經不停埋怨自己為什麼浪費時間去一個公開活動、但依然堅持坐了一個半鐘頭車去。原因?要祝一位壽星仔生日快樂。=P 這天晚上跟Cisca見面、和她的兩位印尼朋友吃飯。吃完後就在旺角shopping。第二天也跟Cisca見面、但和Teresa一起。每次返香港都無法見到她、今次幸好配合時間見面。她帶我們去Fiat的展覽廳下午茶。從來沒想到銅鑼灣會有這類的地方! 這天是我在香港最後的一天。晚上回到家裡陪嫲嫲吃飯、明天一早要起飛。在香港逗留了七天。多也不算多、少也不算少。取了陪嫲嫲之外、沒有很多讓我留在香港的原因。吃喝玩樂只得「吃喝」比較有興趣。可惜是極度危險的!哈哈 今次返香港不知道那時候再有機會回去。(可能要餓一輪才行)雖然知道不會有很大的變化、但希望每一位親人、每一位朋友依然一樣健健康康、快快樂樂!

36 Hours in HK

36 Hours in HK

So…after coming back from Fukuoka, I was due back at the airport in around 36 hours. The morning after landing in HK, I had to completely repack my luggage for our flight to Taiwan the next morning. After getting laundry and stuff out of the way, I headed down to the bank to withdraw all my money from my BoC account. (The one perk I have for being a permanent resident – FREE government money!) However the money was immediately…
