Wednesday, 01.11.2012

Today was our second day at the Town Centre library. We stopped at our usual bakery. I tried something new today and wasn't a huge fan. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty good but some of the baked goods here are DELICIOUS and this one was not at their level.
Anyways, our sponsor has told us numerous times that we are doing an excellent job and exceeding his expectations and he kept telling us to take time off. He wanted us to take off two days this week. Professors Vaz and Demetry would presumably not be ok with this so instead we worked a half day today. Dennis has previously mentioned that he wanted us to visit the Hong Kong Museum of History to give us a better understanding of Hong Kong to help with our project. We decided a good compromise between Dennis wanting us to take time off and our professors wanting us to work full time would be to spend this afternoon at the museum. It was awesome!!! I will post separtely about that because it was so worth it!
After the museum, we were walking around to find a coffee place before Cantonese lessons. Instead we found a bar that had happy hour 2 for 1 for things on draft. Amy and I each got a hard cider.
Then we had our usual Cantonese lessons.
After Cantonese lessons, a few of us tried to find sushi. We didn't find any so instead decided to eat kebabs and gyros.
Then we wandered around the MTR station near our apartment and headed home!

 Cool poster on someone's locker. There are lockers at HKIEd Town Centre. They are all very interestingly decorated! (This one was rather boring compared to others, but I liked this poster)
 Entrance to HKIEd Town Centre
 All those high rises? ALL apartment buildings...
 Cool hot air balloon thing we saw
 Pretty building!!!
 Museum signs for mom :-p
 This really cool and fantasy looking church. From a distance we though we got off the wrong MTR station and were at Disneyland Hong Kong! Very unique and definitely out of place compared to the high rises all around it!
My lunch - this is for daddy who had been asking about the food
*Note: that is NOT coffee (mom and dad :-p) It is milk tea, which is made "the Hong Kong" way
