Hong Kong City

Going back to Hong Kong after 12 years was a nostalgic and surreal experience. I felt like I was going to a country for the first time, but I felt familiar with it somehow... I got the hang of things very quickly. I loved the metro when I was little - that was always my favourite. I also realised just how small Hong Kong is.

I had lunch with Anthony Cheng while I was there. He was an intern in New Zealand about 4 months ago. He really misses NZ and he plans to come back to visit one day, yay! It was good to see him again and to speak Cantonese with him haha. I miss speaking my mother tongue, now that I've moved away from home, I want to speak it again whenever I can.

This is the two of us saying good bye at the train station. Going to Sha Tin is quite a journey! He works at a place called Lee & Fung now, a big trading company. So he only had an hour for lunch and went over time just a little bit for me. So nice!

The streets of Hong Kong - walking on my own it was a little bit intimidating, especially after coming back from the empty Netherlands but I got the hang of it. Only got lost once!

Hong Kong's member committee apartment is in Sheung Wan - the last stop on the metro - and it's on Des Voux Street where all the dried seafood shops are! I got quite a shock when all I saw there were only seafood shops around before I realised this was the street for seafood.

I wish I could've gone back to the street I used to live on in Kowloon Tong but I can't remember the name of it - d'oh!
