This post I actually wrote on the night before I departed for Hong Kong...but internet was TOOOOOOO slow for me to upload on the blog, so I saved til now. hong kong journal is coming up one day at a time, so come back every day for new updates and pictures!!! It was an amzing trip
------------------------------------------------------
Tonight is the last night that I am staying in Guiyang. Everything is packed and I am flying out to Shenzhen (city next to Hong Kong) tomorrow morning. There is no direct fly from Guiyang to Hong Kong, but there is trans-border metro subway connecting the two cities.
I will be staying in Hong Kong for two weeks, and my shadowing program starts on Tuesday. I got 2 days prior to tour the city (and shopping)
GuiYang is considering my half home, where my mom’s from. I was actually born in this city and raised in Beijing. I spent every break since elementary school here at grandma’s house (or apartment, to be precise). So there are lots of local street foods filled up my childhood memory. Every time I return home, aunts and uncles always buys me loads of food or take me out for meals…needless to say, I gained a lots of weight just in the past few days…but it brought back childhood memory, and was some sweet memory.
Aunt's home-made sticky rice~
Tang Ma Yuan: fried sticky rice ball, cover with sesame seeds, taste sweet, my favorite street food!
Typical Dinner table (Grandma lives with aunt, uncle, their son and daughter-in-law, plus the year old nephew, and a housemaid)...minus the gold fish bowl :p
My 20 mon old nephew
YangMei (Waxberry??)
PiPa (Loquat??)
Chinese strawberry (smaller than the American ones, but has a WHOLE lot more starberry taste than the ones in America)
