A normal Day for me in Hong Kong!




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. :)
