my journal

My journal...wow...At this moment, all I can think about is a interesting trip 2 years ago. Let me think about it for a while...

I was 17 years old, I traveled to Hongkong by myself and really had lots of fun traveling alone. I can still remember that was a sunny day when I arrived at Hongkong airport. Basically, I knew nothing about hongkong at that time except the stuff there is cheaper. Okay, the first thing I did was take a free map and started to check the subway station. Luckily I found the station and got to my hotel quickly.

Actually I can’t really remember what I did in Hongkong, just shopping from this street to that mall. But I do remember something that happend to me. People there are really friendly and helpful. Though they use chinese characters but the way they speak them is totally different from me, so the communication became a big problem. when I had to ask for my way I will have to try to speak mandarin at first and then try English. This can work out 90% of the time but sometimes I still can’t get my answer. When this happend, the warm-hearted Hongkong people always try their best to help me some even gave me a ride to my destination. Thanks to them, my life in Hongkong became more and more colorful.

And also, the natural environment there impressed me a lot. Though Hongkong is a tiny place, the percent of green plant can be higher than 90%. The sky there is always blue and the street is always clean and pretty. No passengers on the bus would eat or drink. It is like an invisible god ruled everything that no one can obey without his permission. But we all know, there is not a god but a responsibility that has covered the whole society.

Wow...I just miss the days in Hongkong! The people,the food, the subway, the shopping mall, the college... Anyway I do think it is a great place to have a 2-week trip. Considering the weather there, I dont think it will be a good idea to live there. The winter vacation is around the corner, I wish I can visit there again on my way home. Hope I can make it^^. Does any of you guys want to go with me??
