Night 6: Time to myself and dinner for 1.

This morning was very busy and hectic.
I met new people and also discovered a tad more at HKU.
I really do enjoy being at the university. Its very welcoming and cool (as in every building, including the lifts are air-conditioned to the max).

But today is the day I wanted to take in what HK has to offer and be more aware of my surroundings.
I took the last couple hours before dinner to take advantage of the bus system, so far I have managed to find a bus that takes me from HKU to a short walk to my dorm, but I am yet to find a bus that takes me from my dorm to HKU. This is probably a good sign tho, a sign that i need to at least find the time to exercise and get some kind of physical activity in my daily routine.  
Especially from all the great food I have been feasting on the past couple days :)

Once I had reached my dorm from my trip to HKU, I took the time to again familiarise myself around the streets...

...and importantly to find a place to eat.


I went to a place called "KAI KEE RESTAURANT" at the corner of Smithfield Rd.


This restaurant, surprisingly had an array of Asian and Western cuisines.


I ended up ordering one of their selected baked dishes.

Baked Bolognese and Tomato Sauce with Spaghetti.


It was delicious :)

... & only costed me HKD$52.00/AUD$8.00

Which is quite reasonable. 


In addition, there were quite a few people eating there too, as i was glancing to the side, the person next to me had like a 4 dish meal for only HKD$30.00/AUD$4.60 :) I will definitely come back again. Especially to check out their specials...haha!

As it got late I took the bus home, instead of walking because 1. it was a up hill walk which I am not prepared for after a full stomach, 2. it was simply late and it got dark. 

Till next time...


Good night! ~

Ready for Hong Kong

After much delay, I have finally managed to book my tickets. The only reason it took so long was that there wasn't any return flights back to Melbourne. 
My parents, being who they are, was worried that I would've rebelled and stayed in HK.

Yes, ... it's silly, I know. 

But I love home too much to ever leave haha,
so they do not need to worry about a thing :)

Even though I won't be leaving till a few months time, 
I can't help to stop and think what would everyday life be like in HK - 
the food, the people, the culture, expenses, travel, occasional study here and then, 
...and lastly SHOPPING!!

All in time, I guess, the experience will be exciting, both the good and the bad will make up of my travels and time being as an exchange student :)
