First Day of Work!

Sunday was dedicated to site seeing and tourism :) I spent the morning walking around and trying to get myself with the area I live. I walked around a place near my building called Victoria Park. It is kind of like Central Park in that it is a park in the middle of a huge urban city.

In the afternoon I met up with Mandy to explore Hong Kong Island a bit further. We rode the trolley from causeway bay until the end. We rode on top so I could see each area of Hong Kong Island as we drove by. At the end we got off and took a bus around to some of the beaches on Hong Kong Island. We ended up staying at Stanley Beach for awhile. It is a very touristy place, but also very pretty and open. A nice break from the crowded, busy city.

Today (Monday) was my first official day at work at Ocean Park! It was busy but a lot of fun. Here is a link to a YouTube video of research similar to ours.

Tonight I went out to dinner and a movie with Mandy and Ken (another employee at Ocean Park). I again had soup noodles, which I learned how to say in Cantonese. I have learned how to say several things in Cantonese, like 'excuse me/thank you' 'no meat' 'instant noodles' 'good morning' and 'bathroom'. Mandy says she is very impressed with my pronunciation :) She is also impressed with how well I use chop sticks! I also tried Dim Sum for the first time tonight and really liked it.
The longer I am here the more I like it. So I'm finally settling in. Although I still wouldn't mind a larger room . . .

Love, Kels
