Returning Back to Taiwan

After 9 days in Hong-Kong, it is time for us to go back to Taiwan and start summer school. My vacation is over now. Now, I have to prepare what is coming next school year. i have to make a lot of plans and lessons for my students.

During these two weeks in Hong-Kong, I got sick. The place is really small and everywhere I go, a lot of people were there. I cannot believe what are these people doing here. Finally, I am so happy to go back to Taiwan, to my house and have a good rest.

Housing in Hong-Kong


During my 14 days in Hong-Kong at very small apartment here, I really feel very uncomfortable. the house is really tiny. You can imagine one bedroom apartment in USA, has three bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and the living room plus a dining room in it. It is so amazing how four people in one family can live all together in one tiny apartment. Besides that, all the apartments are very tall. They are in the high mountains. The view is great but I won't live in Hong-Kong for my entire life. I need more space. There's no space for anything even to dry clothing. A lot of people dry their clothing outside of their windows. This is very unique because you can see from outside, a lot colors of different flags.

I always say house in Taiwan is very expensive but the house in Hong-Kong is even more expensive then in Taiwan. Here in Taiwan you can buy a very big house at the same price as three bedroom apartment in Hong-Kong, much bigger with garage and own yard.

My sister-in-law and her family live in this building. you can see a lot of apartment building surrounded by the shopping mall. Each MRT stop has apartments and the shopping malls. Her husband is the only person who works for the family. This area is for people who has middle income.

Hong-Kong


This is my first time in Hong-Kong. Hong-Kong is very tiny city. I do not call it a country, it is a city which is part of China. Everywhere I go is crowded. Everyone lives in an apartment. All the apartments are so tiny, just imagine, one bedroom apartment with four rooms on it. There's no space at all. Houses over there are so expensive. It is triple price compared to the house the same size apartment in Taiwan. The rent is also expansive but people here earned a lot of salaries. Also, living are so expensive like food, clothing and others, and more than that, the quality of the food is not so good.

The good thing is everywhere I go is so convenient. MRT made things easier and cool. In each MRT stop, I could find department stores. If it is raining, I won't get wet, because it is all inside in one place. however, I won't go to Hong-Kong again, I do not like to be a lot of people.

Hong-Kong's View


Hong-Kong's view is so pretty at night. I really like it. Hong-Kong is an island closer to China. This little island has everything with a lot of people. Everywhere I go is so crowded. I cannot imagine where the people come from. Even shopping malls are so full, I cannot even walk. Disneyland in HK is lesser people, that is the only place I enjoyed the most. I could go all the rides and I could see better things and take pictures of it.

If I go back to Taiwan, the only thing I am going to miss about HK is the view at night. I am not going to miss the food or people. Also the convenience of the MRT and the shopping malls in each station.

070707

Is today a good day for westerns? It is July 7th, 2007, that means 070707, triple 7s means a good time for westerns. A lot of people got married today. Even in Hong-Kong, the Ocean Park closed earlier than usual. Restaurants are full. It is so hard for us to find a good restaurants because the good ones are all full. All of the restaurants has wedding banquet. Anyways, I learned that 070707 is a good day for westerns even in Las Vegas, Nevada, a lot of couple got married. It is so fun. How about Chinese good day for marriage?

Ocean Park, Hong-Kong




Today everyone are so excited because we are going to the Ocean Park. I heard that Hong-Kong's Ocean Park is the best. I really want to go and see. We woke up early in the morning and we took MRT to (金鐘) then, we took the Ocean Park's bus to the Ocean park's back door. The back door has everything. It has dolphin show, bubble game for children, and much more. The most valuable thing is that the two pandas, the gift from China are there, too. We had to wait one hour in line to be able to see them. Hong-Kong's Ocean park is so much fun. You should go earlier and be able to see everything. Also, the most important point is that you have to take ocean Park's cable car, it is so much fun.

Hong-Kong, Disney

Hong-Kong Disney is much smaller than Disney in America but it is so much fun. The good point is that I could have all the rides. I did not have to wait for long time. It is not wasting of time. I really like the show where they have in Disney. Also, songs and everything is so great. I really enjoyed to be at Disney Land in Hong-Kong.
