Cantonese - So I am finally back from HK, and I'll do a brief update of what I thought. Well it has been roughly 20 years since I've been back there. The reward was too great for me because I learned so much about myself, my family, and HK itself. Our hotel was awesome, I mean the Sheraton our bathroom was all glass! The view was super sweet too, I can see across to the beautiful HK bay. At first, I was worried about this trip because ya know I didn't have a car, and I don't have a clue where I was going. However, it only took me about a day to figure everything out. I started going off to places on my own, and I had the cool Octo card that does wonders. My biggest pet peeve on this trip was just like last year in Vancouver. I hate it when peeps live in the city for so long yet they still do not know where they are going. This year, it seemed like my mommy's side of the family always wanted to go somewhere, but always got lost. This is why I went off on my own because I know where I was going. I just find it ridiculous that you live in the area for so long yet you still do not know where you are going.

Anyways, food was delicious and cheap. However, like I said before I got self-control because yes part of this trip was fun. At the same time, I worked out a lot during this trip trying to carry extra weights in my backpack going up and down the inclines of the streets. I don't know how they do it over there, but seriously I busted out sweating everytime I stepped out. I also got a chance to see the area that I grew up in when I was lil. I still remember a lot of things growing up in Sai Wan Ho. I ventured all the way out to Yuen Long and Tsuen Wan to see family. I went all the way to Stanley Bay and the Peak. I also spent a day out in Macau, and it was too late for me to see Abby and Amanda. But it was nice hearing from them on my cellie, and that Abby told me she actually went through the streets lookin for me. What sucked was that I spent so much time walkin, and workin out that I got a new blister each day. My knee was getting weaker too, so I could not go to the other places I wanted to see like Lai King, Sha Tin, Lo Wu, and Wu Kai Sha. My parents have already decided that they are coming back next year. My daddy thinks that I am not going, but I already know I am. I know the summer time would be best for me to find a jobby job, but spending time with my rents in their homeland means more to me.

One huge reason for me to go back is my cuzzie Mackey! She is so committed everyday she rotates playin v-ball and b-ball. She is only 10 years old too and such a cutie! I wanted her to workout with me, and so we can play because she's got some skillz. However, with skillz, comes pride as she keeps tellin me that she is doin fine on her own. It was frustrating because my aunts wanted me to play with all my cuz's to see how good I am. I was so close to going out there and playin. But my mommy sensed it and told my aunties to cool it because she was worried bout me blowing out my knee. So yeah it was frustrating, and that is another reason why I want to head back to show them all how we ball in the states.

I met my daddy's best friend, and now I wonder if he named him after me? I ran into D.Mui's parents in the subway at Tsim Sha Shui! All I felt was this umbrella smack me in the back and it was his parents. So I thought it was so cool to run into peeps from CBC, what was even cooler of course as before they are good friends with my parents. Then as we were boarding our bus to go back to the HK International Airport, who was waitin for us? D.Mui's family in the same bus as us, same flight as us, and everything! As my mommy kept sayin, who says HK is big?

Macau was a trip though, I went to the casino to check it out. I just wanted to see what was so big about this one that my dad's friend loved going to. I got yelled at by security so many times, let's see they had a lil meeting first of all to decide if they should let me in due to my gear. Then it was my sitting on the floor in the lobby, then me slouching on the couch, then it was closing my eyes, then it was leaning my head back. I was so close to doing something that I might as well get kicked out but my mommy held me back. Well I will be posting pics up now, so if you want go to here then to check it out http://community.webshots.com/user/lethalk

I miss HK and the V. Now I see why some peeps say they are similar, who knows maybe durin my recovery time I'll spend more time reflectin bout HK.
