As requested here it is! By the
way, this is my second last post, since the end is near!
So let's start.
A normal working day for me here in Hong Kong looks
like the following:
Every week my day starts with wakening up from bed at
6:30.
I drink a coffee, get ready, brush my teeth, standard
procedure.
Then I take the Lift from the 29 Floor down and walk
out of the building, I walk another 10 minutes through the crowed life of Mong Kok's busy morning.
Many people stumble along. Concerning
their own routine working or school life.
After minutes of using the escalator and stairs to go
way below underground and I hop on to the MTR (Mass Transportation Railway,
which is the Underground Metro in Hong Kong)
It needs a bit luck to find somewhere to sit down.
After 20 Minutes with the MTR trough various stations
we halt at a place called Kwai Fong. That's where I get out. I then transfer
over to the Minibus which will take me to my destination. Those buses are
very old school seemingly, compared to the uber modern MTR.
The bus driver hardly speaks a word of English. So in
order to communicate, one shall say: the street (in my case "Wan Lung
Gei") and "Yau lok" (=get out) when approaching the bus stop, so
the bus driver knows, that at least one dudes gotta get out.
Time passes. Another 20 minutes
elapses. I look out of the window listening to my Ipod enjoying a small measure
of peace.
At my arrival in Tsuen Wan (where I work), it takes me
only 2 minutes to the office.
But since I've got about 20 minutes to spare I eat
breakfast in a Cha Chaan Tang (Yes!) near the office. Everyone's very friendly
to me and we can't really communicate but luckily I picked up a bit of Cantonese.
I do manage the order in native tongue. And everyone's always much exited once
they see me coming into the restaurant since they know right away I'm foreign
but that I know a few phrases and such. Since I'm a total milk tea junky
(haahaa!) It's never missing.
Afterwards I leave for work at 9:00 a.m.
Now I can't tell you too much about work, since it's
all about a security company. Top secret, stuff like that. I think the
best thing I can do is just show a picture of some ugly dude smiling silly in
the camera while sitting on his desk. :D
Time goes by, and lunch time is rolling in. At 1:00
I am acompanded by a good working College and we go to a nearby place to eat lunch.
After that, work work work till 6
P.M.
Then at around 6 P.M. I get to watch the sunset
going down, will I take the MTR in Tsuen Wan back home to eat dinner and
rest...
That's how my normal day looks like. :)
