Hey Everyone,

Breakfast with MC
 Chinese buns toasted with sweetened condensed milk, and hot milk tea 

A few days ago, a friend from Winnipeg messaged me on Facebook saying that she was in Hong Kong, as well. I was surprised since we never hung out before, but honesty, I loved it! I had met MC only a few times before, years ago even. We had never hung out together since were both busy with school, and had different groups of friends. Both of us were with the mentality of "what the heck? why not?!", and so we decided to meet up before she left. MC and I met this past weekend at Mong Kok Station, and walked around. We found a place to grab breakfast while the shops were opening and ordered pretty much the same thing. We both found similar experiences in Hong Kong that differed from living in Winnipeg.


A few of the things that we learned from one another while exploring here were:



1. The water that dripped from the buildings was built up condensation from the AC,
     at least you HOPE its condensation from the AC and not someone who spat
     out the window

2. We apologized when we accidentally bumped into someone, but when bumped into...
     we still apologized!

3. There was such a thing as a First Class Train Car in the MTR... people did check to see if
     you had paid to be in there, and you WOULD be fined if you're not supposed
     to be there.

4. Squatter toilets were unpleasant to use

5. Finding a bathroom in a mall was difficult, but standing outside a locked bathroom
    door and waiting for someone with a key to walk in and out worked well



I just wanted to say thanks MC for reaching out and contacting me. I hope we'll stay in contact! Travel safely and I'll make sure to look you up if we're ever in the same city.

To those who find themselves in Hong Kong in the next couple of years, make sure to let me know! All the best!
