Tuesday, September 15; em goi

today was the day I woke up in a different place, a different moment, a different society. my senses were all perked up to explore.

landing the day before onto Hong Kong island, quickly and briefly scanning the new atmosphere, the strangeness of unfamiliarity and the mixed feeling of excitement and anxiety.

the place i would be in for the next five months.

and today, looking back a year ago, i can only smile :)

The awesome people that turned up.
(Family included!)

My treasured items from home :)

Our first dinner, when all the shops were closed.
7-11 was our saviour.

Our immediate buy at the airport, which erm lasted us three days I think

Our toilets!! I know, tell me about it.

Also met the boys' boss, Marge on the day of some Fire Dragon festival

Gor gor Kok Wee brought us to The Peak!
