My name is “Lemon Tea”
In less than 24 hours since we’ve arrived in Hong Kong, we’ve managed to hit the streets at night looking for dinner, wander the heights of Victoria Peak, ate Dim Sum on a floating restaurant on beautiful clear water in Aberdeen, toured City University, took the MTR/subway home and roam the streets some more for nearby banks, restaurants, shops, and offices. I did not feel the jetlag until 4, 5 pm but waking up at 8 in the morning for a huge day would have made anyone sleepy by then.
One of my student ambassadors who showed us the school and city introduced herself as “Lemon Tea”. The first time I heard it, I thought it was a Chinese name and I’m hearing it wrong, but she gave me a contact card and apparently it’s really her nickname. Never got to ask why that’s so.
Many fellow students in the program who’ve learned I’m Thai wants me to help them tour Bangkok. I’ve no problem with that, in fact, that’ll be exciting … but I don’t know how to handle large crowds. It feels like if everyone who’ve asked me to take them around goes, I’ll have a group of about 10 people to lug around. But I suppose the Japanese girl feels the same. Hey—at least I know for sure some people do want to go which is so, so exciting!
Photos as soon as I get my hand on USB wire. Yes, I forgot it. Yes, I’ll borrow it from someone or buy a new one for cheap here. No, I’m not stupid, some things slipped my mind!
