Welcoming
Another new HK blog with the inevitable title: Hello, Kitty!. Written by an American exchange student studying at CUHK, Rachel seems to be enjoying herself: Where else but in HK could a single evening consist of a ride on the longest covered outdoor escalator system in the world, authentic Russian food, two absolutely awesome renditions of "I Can Boogie [Boogie Woogie]" by a pseudo-traditionally attired Ukrainian duo (that I'm currently pretty much in love with), a shot of spicy vodka in a "Snow Room" where the ambient temperature is -15 Celsius, a mad dash after a terrible Chinese Elvis impersonator, a full-on ass grab by a confrontational, flamingly gay guy, HK$35 mojitos, and fun at La Bodega with four Japanese women, two gweilos, one Norwegian, and a Korean?

the student is from CHUK? posted by: da on 08.16.04 at 02:11 PM [permalink]Thanks a lot for noting my blog in yours, Simon. I've been in Yangshuo for the past few days, so I haven't updated. I just wanted to clarify: I'm actually a TEACHER at CUHK in the English department. I just finished university in the USA and I'm here on a teaching/public service fellowship from the Yale-China Association. I did spend my summer studying Cantonese at CUHK, though, and I'm going to continue with that. I really enjoy your blog. It's remarkably thorough. |
