Easter Weekend in HK - Part 1

Everyone was looking forward to Easter holiday in HK. Thursday, the day before Good Friday, was the Ching Ming Holiday here in Hong Kong. So it was an extra long weekend; five days actually including the weekend. Many of my friends took advantage of this long weekend to get away. Jamie's in Korea, a number of Japanese people went back to Japan, and other friends went to China or Macau. I wanted to go to Korea, but none of my friends in Korea seem to be free this Easter. Though one of my friends in Korea might visit me in HK near the end of this month.

The start of the Easter holiday was a little rough. I received a letter, which I talked with many of my friends about. I want to post it online but I will hold off on that until I can confirm how it will legally affect me. As you can guess this seems to be somewhat of a serious matter. I never imagined something like this would happen to me. Stay tuned for more information.

Since it was a long holiday I took the opportunity to see some old friends whom I rarely get a chance to see. These friends I've known since University and you probably haven't read about them on my blog for quite some time. They live so far away that it seems like they travel back to main land China each time they go home.

Saturday was bike riding day with Raymond, Connie, Rick, Jackie, and Morris (Jackie's からし). Morris I found out is half Japanese, so I got to practice a little bit with him. Recently my Japanese seems to finally be at a level in which can be considered usable. Though any Japanese child would still beat me. I haven't ridden on a bike in the longest time, but it all came back to me once I got on. We went out near Sha Tin for our ride alone this long, seemingly endless, bike path. It was interesting though because Hong Kong people don't really know how to ride bikes. I suppose because the environment isn't really good for children to learn. There were a number of adults using training wheels on their bikes. I on the other hand was reckless and endangering the lives of the people around me. I was jumping all over the place, standing up on the frame of my bike, and riding it in illegal areas. Next time I might just take my roller blades out instead.

Afterwards I headed down to Lan Kwai Fong to meet up with Sandra and her Taiwanese friend Chelsy. The intention was to take her around Hong Kong, but they ended up spending hours doing their beauty stuff (like 3 hours on nails) and then the rest shopping. I guess there isn't a Zara or H&M in Taiwan yet. I took Michelle and Kazue down to Volar afterwards and were lucky enough to run into Emile and some of the other models that were still in Hong Kong. Jackie and Morris joined us afterwards as well. The big surprise though was running into Doug and LeHoa. I haven't seen either of them in the longest time, I didn't even know Doug came back to Hong Kong. Over all it was a fun night for everyone. I had a couple of things on my mind, and was a little moody, but actually I had fun as well.
