Hello, Hong Kong

            I spent a full day yesterday breathing in recycled air (aka travelling in an airplane). I had a connecting flight from Vancouver to Hong Kong, and ended up having a delayed flight due to some maintenance issues; anxiety was at an all-time high, let me tell you :(.

flight 1

flight 2

During my flight, I took a stab at catching up with some books on Readium that I previously did not have the time to read throughout finals season. Conclusion is that "The Intelligent Investor" is far more interesting than "The Fault in our Stars" (haters gon' hate...). I also sat next to a jolly man who ordered a Heineken alongside every meal and snack- quite the fellow he was.

Soundtrack- Flight Favourites:

·         Dive in (EMBRZ rermix)- Let Go

·         Falling- Yuna

·         XO- Beyonce

HKG

           Once arrived, I met up with my mom who was on another flight, and were both picked up by our aunt and uncle. Jet lag got the best of me, and I ended up passing out before 12 am. However, the next day I woke up bright and early (9 am, which is early in HK I swear) and went to the bank and immigration office along with my aunt and mom to get some paperwork done. Afterwards, we spent the afternoon shopping around Cheung Sha Wan and Mongkok, just long enough for bits of impulsive spending.

 And here's the view from where I'm staying:

so excited to be here for the next 3 months!
