Post HK Trip Blog Entry

The second half of my HK trip was actually four days - not three, as I've previously mentioned to people. The last three days were pretty much days I spent by myself going to various places to shop and to meet people because my brother left on the Sunday. On Monday, I had the chance to shop in Stanley for cheap souvenirs, and then go to meet with Mandy (with Nick tagging along). It was great to see how she's doing and to hear that she'll visit Toronto this summer, and also how she's doing in terms of school and what she'll do as she prepares to graduate from high school soon. On Tuesday, I spent the day going to Kwun Tong, Kowloon Tong, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay. I pretty much went to four of the most crowded places in HK and shopped, took pictures, and just took in the urban atmosphere. I'm still amazed at the infrastructure and transportation system in HK and I keep comparing it to how bad Toronto is. Anyway, on Wednesday, I said my goodbye to Grandpa and actually prayed IN CHINESE with him before I left. Honestly, it was sad to say goodbye and I could tell he was a bit sad, but at least I had the opportunity to visit him this year and I hope and pray that he'll continue to stay strong and healthy for the next little while so I can visit him again. I also met up with Pris and Sam for sushi dinner and desserts. Once again, I love visiting friends who I haven't seen in a while and it was great to hear about how well he's doing in terms of job and just being able to live and earn money and be on his own. Anyway, that was pretty much the last thing I did in HK. I said my goodbyes to my Aunt, Uncle, and family before departing for the airport and then waiting 3 hours of my delayed flight out of HK. I admit it was sad to leave, but I was excited to come back to Toronto, especially to get back with Toronto people again! =) All in all, I praise God for the things He allowed me to experience in this short HK trip and I'm thankful for being able to visit my grandpa and hopefully a good witness to my relatives, and also for God's guidance and comfort in keeping Jon and me safe throughout the whole trip.
