Hong Kong Museum of Art

I spent most of the morning looking up locations and hostel information. I talked to Arthur about it since he's the "local" from GuangZhou. Actually it has been about 15 years for him, so he put me in touch with his cousin who is there. I gave her the choice of two hostels which were listed under the international hostels site. She choose one away from the trainstation saying it was safer.

After that was settled I went to reschedule my Right of Abode appointment and also asked again about the need to bring in the original documents. I was told differently this time saying that they would accept certified/notarized documents. I rescheduled it temporary to the 25th of August. I probably need to reschedule it again but this gives me about a week to make the decision. I found out later that my mother plans to bring Carman the copies on Monday. Carman has been nice enough to bring the copies to me personally. She plans to leave Toronto on the 24th of August. I went right after to pick up my China visa which was stuck right to my passport.

I took the ferry across to TST again and headed to the Museum of Art. The exhibits were nice, and I found out I just missed a tour. The tour happens every Weds and Saturday, hopefully I can take it again the next Weds since Weds are free (just like the OAC). I went to teach my first class which was on Hospitality. The students were really shocked at the beginning, and a bit afraid. Afterwards since I tried to use Cantonese to explain the meaning of many different words they slowly got use to me. I think it will work out, and English conversational is much easier for me to teach. I met with Ada afterwards and we headed to McDonalds. She helped me plan out my trip a bit more. I've had way too much McDonalds recently.
