Hong Kong, my love!
I am still in China at the moment. I've been in mainland mostly, but I flew to Hong Kong from mainland on the 16th and just got back yesterday. I was there to visit my bf as his family lives there and he also lives there during the holidays. Oh holy cow, how I loved HK! I have already decided that I want to work as a doctor in HK in the future. I have also neeearly convinced my bf to purchase a house for me on one of HK's many hill tops overlooking the sea and city.
My first impression of HK as the plane approached the airport in the air was that it is such a beautiful, breath-taking city with grassy hills and sparkling sea. I had imagined it to be a completely urban metropolitan place where people had lost the concept of nature, but oh how effing wrong I was! There is a lot of green throughout the city (except the most urban and developed areas), and the best thing is that the nature is approachable, and thus provides a choice for its citizens-city or nature.
I went through one of the most nerve-wracking experience during my trip in HK: I met the bf's family. Within my very first hour in HK, I had already met his mum. We had lunch in a high class Japanese restaurant, and I felt very out of place with my plaid shirt and baggy trousers (those trousers are very comfortable for plane trips!). The meeting proceeded quite alright, and I didn't die of nervosity like I thought I would. I also met my bf's older brother and his wife a few days later. We had dinner in an even higher class restaurant and my attire was even more inappropriate as we had just been hill climbing.
The first day I arrived in HK, I walked around a part of the city by myself for a few hours, because the bf had to run an errand. The weather was indecisive, it was sunny, then suddenly stormy and rainy. I had never seen such rain in my life before, it was even heavier than as if someone stood in the sky with a shower head aimed at HK on full power. However, I managed to snap a few photos in between the rain periods:
Skyline with rain clouds
By the harbour in the district I walked in, there was something called Avenue of Stars, where I suppose famous people from HK inprint their hand prints and sign their names on the concrete ground. I saw Jackie Chan's star, and he was the only person I knew (well, Bruce Lee was there too, but his star was too crowded so I couldn't be bothered to look at it).
I shall write about my remaining days later, gotta go exercise!
