two weeks in

So I've been here for two weeks but some reason it feels like i've been here forever. I've finally settled into an apt although temporary for 3 months till I can find a proper roommate. I started work and HK people work long hours. First day I got in at 8:30am and left at 7pm. So yeah yay for pictures!

I think it's so awesome that in such a busy sophisticated city you can still find places like this.

View from my little cubicle.

Saw this when I was riding in a taxi.
¹ I look up to the mountains—
does my help come from there?
² My help comes from the Lord,
who made heaven and earth!

³ He will not let you stumble;
the one who watches over you will not slumber.
⁴ Indeed, he who watches over Israel
never slumbers or sleeps.

⁵ The Lord himself watches over you!
The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
⁶ The sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon at night.

⁷ The Lord keeps you from all harm
and watches over your life.
⁸ The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go,
both now and forever.

Psalm 121

Times Square

Maid Cafe! Basically it's a cosplay thing kinda like anime and the waitresses dress up as french maids and call you master. Yeah kinda weird... also you have to go up some ghetto old elevator but HK people love it!

So since I'm "new" in town I decided to wander one day and walked from Mongkok to Tsim Sha Tsui. Apparently I underestimated how far it was and ended up walking for about 2 hours where I finally got to the harbor to take a tourist pic! So I decided to be touristy and asked a family to take a picture for me in which they asked if I was by myself in a sad aww voice.

Mushrooms at Times Square! They always have the most random displays.

Dinner 红烧豆腐饭

Lunch at a mexican restaurant but no good =[ dang I wish I had carne asada fries!

Breakfast! 火腿通分 with 港式奶茶

jet lagged.

so i'm not very good at blogging. but since i have relocated i suppose i can post up random pictures with explanations to them. The weather's pretty weird. My mom told me not to bring my coat but it's been windy and cold.

journey to hk. alone. bye parents!

So my flight left at 12:20Pm. 13 hour flight with a broken tv screen. so no movies for me the entire trip =[. Then originally a 2 hour layover in Tokyo got delayed for an extra hour. Plus another 4 hour flight. By the time I got to HK it was 11:30pm (suppose to arrive by 10).

Pretty clouds
Some Random baby holder thing in the stalls.

my life in 3 bags.

so while I was packing for this trip I packed. unpacked. repacked. originally I was going to bring a medium size suitcase and a big suitcase. but I decided to simplify my life. so i left a lot of my stuff at home. resulting in one medium, one carry on, and one duffle.

my temporary stay in HK. for 10 days.

Sooo.. remember how I said who wants to come stay with me for a week. I really meant it. Thanks Parents for trading in timeshare points so I can shower with one of those rainfall shower heads.

new work place.

So since I was jetlagged. for the first day I decided to wander around HK. just near by. Just so you know I meant to look fobby and try to fit in. But. i think i still stood out.

Bird store

So for those of you who took Chinese at UCI. Do you guys remember Taiwan Today Ch1 where it talks about 有些人在公园提者鸟笼让心爱的鸟出来呼吸呼吸新鲜空气。 yeah.. that's what these birds remind me of.

So I was watching tv. And I guess it was a kids show. These are the cutest kids ever.

I think i will blog once in awhile. this post took way too long.
