Hung Hom, Hong Kong - 5th September 2009
By: silky
I havent been going out much coz my host mum is really busy with uni. It has been a relaxing week for me. We had Chinese(rice), Japanese(sashimi) and Korean(Rice cake). Korean scramble rice cake should be spicy but my host mum's sis cant stand that so they use soysause instead. It is very normal to have food from different countries in a meal in Hong Kong

hung hom, Hong Kong - 13th September 2009

A typhoon is going to hit HOng Kong! the weather is so bad today..it has been raining a lot with thundering! Can you see the little Yellow cloud on tv? It is the "Amber rainstorm signal" issued by the Hong kong observatory.
My host mum told me that rainstorm signals are used to "alert the public about the occurrence of heavy rain which is likely to bring about major disruptions, and to ensure a state of readiness within the essential services to deal with emergencies."
According to the official website, the amber rainstorm signal means "Heavy rain has fallen or is expected to fall generally over Hong Kong, exceeding 30 millimetres in an hour, and is likely to continue. "
There are 3 rainstorm signals in Hong kong, name amber, red and black. My host mum and her sister is hoping for a black signal tomorrow - in that way they will have a dayoff!

The Typhoon is gone, finally ! Today we had Japnese food (again) for lunch and we have a new friend coming! We talked a lot and read the local newspaper. Chinese is so difficult! Now I can only remember one word from the news - "二" it means two

Chai Wan, Hong Kong - 6th October 2009
By: silky
Hi!
We went to do some hiking at the weekend - the weather was awesome! We took the taxi to the MTR station in Tsim Sha Tsui. Oh by the way, MTR is the subway/train of Hong Kong. It took around 30 minutes from tsim sha tsui to Chai Wan MTR station.
After Hiking, we went to have dim sum in a Chinese restaurant. Yummy
Since my host mum is really busy with her university work, she won't be able to help me update the blog that often. Anyway, she will try to update it once a week

The 1881 Heritage is a new shopping centre as well as new heritage hotel in hong kong It was the former marine Police in the 1880s to 1997. That is why the building is of victorian style

Mechterstädt, Germany - 5th November 2009
By: iloveletters
Hello Mummy,
At last I have time to post some pictures. First of all: Here is me on the first day in Germany!
And this is an ariel view of the village Mechterstädt that I now live in. It is tiny. There are only about 1000 people. Very quiet but that is ok.
Maybe we'll take a stroll later and I'll see some of the 'landmarks': mini market, church, pharmacy, train station....
