| is it still called a city? Haha... I'm just kidding. It's seriously my first time living in such a simple place. I see traces of developments or attempts of them going on here and there.... but it's still got a long way to go comparing to what I'm used to seeing in Hong Kong.
It's been two weeks and, embarrassed to say this, it's actually my longest time to be away from home & parents. I've never really lived away from home that long (no matter where home might be for me... it keeps changing for some reason). Even when I was training in Guangzhou, I returned home promptly on weekends.
I think I've settled in quite well, yet I must say there are still things that I'm not quite used to here, like:
Crossing roads. With or without lights, it doesn't really make a difference. If I follow the rule which I was taught since kindergarten which is to look left and right. I'll never cross over. Yet if I do the seemingly dangerous action of sticking my foot in despite cars coming in full speed, I'll surprisingly reach the opposite side without even getting honked at.
Bicycles & Mopeds. They are everywhere!! On the roads, on freeways, on pedestrian sidewalks, in tunnels, on the wrong side of the road, in wrong directions etc. The bad part of taking a stroll down the streets in Fuzhou is that you'll still have high risks of being run over even when you're just walking on the sidewalks....
Food. I need to hit Walmart one of these days to grab a bunch of my comfort food (as Annique puts it haha). Food is great here, but I really really really miss HK style food or dim sum.
sigh. I miss home. I miss parents. I miss being annoyed by Merian. I miss speaking in Cantonese. I miss hearing Cantonese. I miss HK food. I miss dim sum. I'll be home soon enough hehe.
But... I'm still anxious to see what life here would be like when September comes around =) |
