Tradition

Hong Kong is one part of China, there is no question about that. Therefore, China has a huge influence on us. This time, I would like to share a festival to you all --'Chinese New Year'. Chinese New Year is an important festival to all Chinese. It is a relatively long festival (holiday? !haha). They will usually visit their own relatives during those days. It is not a big deal when train stations in China packed with plenty of people. In Hong Kong, we do the similar things as people in China do. For me, my parents brought me to my aunt house in my childhood. It is quite funny that we could get red pocket (money) from them! But later on, as I was busy at the study, my parents don't take me again. Still, there are lots of activities we can do during the festival, for example, my family play mahjong ( a gambling game). We usually play it overnight. All in all, it is a great festival that families can have fun and stick together.

Unhealthy food? Keep away from me!

Hong Kong is famous for its lifestyle, pace of life. We walk fast, do things quickly and talk in a hurry. What's more, Hong Kong people have an irregular diet, especially junk, fast and unhealthy food. Luckily, Hong Kong government plays a great role in order to encourage people to live healthily. Firstly, the government will hold some events on certain days, we can enjoy the public sports facilities without any payment. Secondly, it usually promotes the importance of healthy life on television during rush hour, for instance, the proportion of the meat, vegetables and rice. Thirdly, for the education, there is a topic about eating in our primary school, which help us to build up a good concept of meal from childhood. On the other hand, restaurants in Hong Kong make some campaign to encourage people to eat healthier. Eating too much rice may harm to us because it contains lots of sugar. Therefore, restaurants will recommend customers eat less and also less oily.

Time really flies fast. I have already been here for around a month and so far so good. I have explored some places in Liverpool, they are all great. Last weekend, my friend from Manchester came to visit me. It was so cheerful and excited to see a friend in a city that you are not familiar with. I showed him my home and I cooked for him. We had a nice chat about the study, lifestyle or even food! We also had a Skype chat with another friend who is studying in Southampton. We both three are thrilled to see each other again. Later, we had a walk to St. John and Liverpool one (Albert Dock) and we had a burger meal ( not McDonald or KFC!!). Lastly, I sent him to the Liverpool central station, said farewell and headed home.

4th week

Things are getting better now. I have already been here for more than one month and I am getting used to it.  Lessons are tough and more quizzes are coming. I can still handle it because I got a schedule for my study and my leisure time. Normally, I will go the gym after the lesson, it is a great chance to improve both my physical health and my language. I just met a massive guy last week. He taught me how to do the gym appropriately and he gave me a fist bump! What a nice guy he is. On the other side of my life here, I will usually go to the supermarket nearby, for instance, Idle, B&M bargaining, etc. All in all, I enjoy the life in here
