It's my first week of summer in Hong Kong and I am sunburnt as red as a lobster. Been rushing around like a mad dog, climbing hills and slopes to reach the campus (which is a good way to slim down), and chasing railways and MTR to explore other parts of this island.

Adapting to the environment, lifestyle, habits here slowly because I am very slow to adapt anyway. The weather here is erratic. A moment it will be sunny and humid and the very next moment, it will be raining cats and dogs with typhoon alerts.

The only comfort is the food, countless stretches of shopping paradise, and nature greenery here. Even food from Cha Chan Teng (Chinese Tea dinner) are tasty. And other than some of those rude staffs from convenience stores, the retail service standard here is better. The salesperson in the stores will greet you sweetly with "Slowly choose your items" or "Take your time". When you say thank you to them for serving you, they will say, "You are welcome!"
