The past few weeks have been scarce with posts about my experiences due to a brief adjustment period between work & play. I have mid-terms at City University on Tuesday & Wednesday, but will be back in full swing after those exams are completed.
I still have yet to cover my trip to Shanghai, the other city battling Hong Kong for the title of the Asian financial capital. I also have some other experiences to share including my trip to Macau (Las Vegas of Asia), the 60th Anniversary and festivities of the PRC (founding of the People’s Republic of China), and monkey mountain. At this time it is still a shock that Hong Kong is my current location, so I will do a better job of analyzing and depicting daily life and translate that into the lifestyle I have been carrying out here in China.
I am happy to share with everyone that the weekends of October 15th and October 22nd will spent traveling outside of Hong Kong with my close friends. The first trip is Bangkok – Thailand, one of the craziest cities in the world. You can do close to everything including the opportunity to hang out with tigers at “Tiger Temple”. We will be headed to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam for our second venture. If you thought petting a tiger was cool, well in ‘Nam I believe you can shoot an AK47 for dirt cheap. Gotta love Asia.
I’m off to practice my Cantonese bargaining skills at a local food market with students in my class. I will update the blog ASAP, but this is an “educational” experience here in HK, gotta get those priorities straight!
