Sleepless Nights

So I don’t jet lag. Maybe it’s because I’ve been sleeping really late but have really early commitments. It’s throwing a world wind of odd naps here and there. I also have not a clue what to do with this wealth of time I’m supposed to be sleeping.


Don’t want to study just because I’m too tired. Don’t want to watch a movie, because truthfully I’m so bored of it. As much as “Hong Kong night life” goes, not too into that scene, well not without a good reason to go blow some dollars anyway.


Deterring from all that. Being back in HK currently is definitely a change. I don’t go seek out all my buddies and go hang out, I’m just flat out exhausted. The week coming back from my practicum was just way too packed with meet ups with people that I haven’t seen in ages and probably will not for the next year. The two week trip with my family was tiresome. So to kick back and relax, with the occasional studying and TV show. Sitting at home is pretty good.


Something too late to get into right now but definitely on the “to write about” list, is simply how spending quality times with ones you cherish dearly is pretty awesome. 

Here, There and Everywhere

One moment I was at home meeting up with friends, few days later in the Chinese mega-city of Shanghai eating kao fu. Few nights pass, and I find myself surrounded by red telephone booths, pubs and an area that radiates with architecture that sweeps you away. 

Enough said the travelling does toll on someone, the time differences, changes in culture. Very much so, it becomes a brick wall of new experiences and things you didn't imagine yourself doing. I guess things never really do settle when you're always on the move from one place to the next — it was a good experience. (Well other than the fact that there was much neglect to my online course). 

So what to start off with on this pretty crazy sounding 14 day adventure through the buzzing streets of Shanghai and London. Shanghai was all about food. I've been many here a time and really I'm not a tourist nor one to know my way around the city. I just go with the flow of things and eat what they make best here. Not really interesting since I didn't do anything really. 

London is a completely story. The time it took just to absorb everything that is going on. A large city filled with, museums, architecture, history and shops – there is seemingly an endless list of things to do. Quite frankly, it is from a tourists perspective, living here would be a completely different story. From eating from Soho, enjoying a beer in any pub, visiting where The Beatles started and who could forget the wealth of museums that I could have stayed for ages. It's been a wealth of knowledge in a very short amount of time. To share these, maybe I should have blogged more frequently.

As I take this plane trip back home, hearing two year old Liam scream, "No!! No!!", the last authentic British accents for awhile and worry a tad for my exam in a week, it's been a good family trip. One to remember, one to cherish and be grateful for. 

Random. They have a lot of rotaries on the roads of England.
