More Excitement

Hello - More excitement has been spreading around the school. More people are jumping up and down going, "Yay! Yay!" The play is coming up. I have only 1 more day to memorized my lines - but I'll be alright.
 
In 2 days, I will be going on a camping trip with my class, Primary 5, to Treasure Island. We will then hike over a mountain to the other side and camp in a beach in Lantau Island. We will be there for 3 days and 2 nights.

During the play, we have warm up people that will be telling corny jokes like - Q: What did the policeman say when the snowman was breaking the law? A: Freeze!

I hope I memorize my lines well enough!

My School Days!

Hello!

I've been having school these days... So fun! I like having a uniform because I can just change in the morning to my skirt and shirt without thinking. I don't have to worry about what I would wear, or what my friends or teacher would wear (but why would I have to think about that?), and I can't wait until December because I will be in a play at school! I felt proud because I won the main roll, although I wanted to be someone called Buttons. The play is called Cinderella and Rockerfella, and I am Cinderella.

Again, I am having a super fun time at school. We are about to end our first Thematic Study, Who We Are, which was about the cultures around us. (And to those that go to CSS, it is A LOT like Personal History.)  Our next study will be - How The World Works! I'm excited for the Science Fair, I learned we will be having one in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR).

Aloha!

Tonight in TST

Hello!

I haven't been blogging so I think I will do one now.

Since the last time I wrote, I got a uniform and school started. Exciting it is to be in Hong Kong! I like to open my windows in the morning so that I can hear the birds. I did that today. So, I have been having a GREAT time in CUHK, (Chinese University of Hong Kong) and tonight we will be seeing a show called the bubbleman in Central. Once we've done that, we will go to our favorite restaurant in TST (Tsim Tsa Tsoi) called Peking Garden. I'm so excited!
  Then we will go to the harbor and see the festival of lights! The festival of lights, is when the big buildings across the harbor light up and set lasers into the sky. It is really pretty!

This is all for today!

Cheers!

My Adventures at Tai Po Market

Hello Y'all!

I have been missing out my blog! So I will get going now.
I have been at Tai Po Market, one of my favorite places in Hong Kong! So, Tai Po is a part of Hong Kong where people hang laundry on wire over the streets, and people sell fried fish and vegetables in the streets. There was a beautiful outdoor Buddhist Temple that had incense burning. The walls were stained with black and brown because of all the smoke from all the years. People were bowing to the Buddha and chanting for offerings at the temple.

Now my little brother will bow when he sees a Buddha. He does it correctly, in the standing way. You put your hands together and slightly bow with your head.

While we were in Tai Po, we stopped off at a lot of wet markets. At many of them we would see stray cats sleeping and people feeding the ones that were awake. They are certainly cat-friendly!

I will tell you about more of my adventures in Tai Po some other time!

Bye-bye!

The T8

Hi Everybody!

I have missed out telling you about my adventures for a week, so I would like to get to it now! So, just a couple days ago, It was the middle of the afternoon. We were in Wan Chai, south of Tsim Tsa Tsui.
   So, I was on my way to the MTR station with my family. A Typhoon Number 3 was approaching, but it was already pouring. Suddenly, by the corner of my eye, I saw a man climbing a rail. WHY... My thought trailed off as I noticed a giant puddle, about 1 foot deep, forming below him. A flood. Uh-oh. I had to go in that direction to get to the MTR station. But after a couple moments, after considering how to get across, I just decided on using the same idea, climbing. So I tried. One foot here, one foot there... I was about to put my foot into a little notch when I saw by the corner of my eye a... Man. Just walking happily across. But believe me! This man did NOT have waterproof shoes. As he walked, splashes circled him. But I finally decided that it was not polite to stare at someone.

My Year in Hong Kong

Hello! My name is Mia.I am an 9-year-old girl and I am right now at the midst of leaving my Home in New Haven CT. We are living in Hong Kong! for ONE WHOLE YEAR!And as you read my blog I hope you feel the same excitement in YOUR bones as I have in mine.I hope you'll feel like you're with me in Hong Kong! Just as we were in the middle of getting our suitcases into a taxi, the phone rang. My brother, Dylan, picked it up. "Hello?" Were his first words. All that answered was,"Good Morning! Due to some circumstances, your flight has been delayed 6 hours. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I hoped this was figurative. But it was Literal. We pondered. But soon we were off, not caring at all. Well, ER... we were over-reacting. Our cats, (they are with us in Hong Kong) were crying out with despair. Elvis,One of our cats, even cried. I tried to keep them occupied with pipecleaners. But it was no use. Finally, we were at the Newark airport. We dropped the cats off and melted into our own customs. 8hours later... I smiled. We were getting on the plane.AT LAST. The 15 hour flight took a long time. but soon enough we at the Hong Kong airport... A taxi took us to our apartment. Once we got there, I raced to room 6A.I didn't cared what the apartment looked like. I just wanted to see the view out of the study window. Breathtaking. the mist was blanketing the tree covered trees. the dawn light reflected off the bay. I was in PARADISE. ***** I hope you enjoyed my blog! I will write something each couple of days... Zai Jian! Mia
