Shenzhen Daze

I am at the end of my two days off and I am shattered. I have so much to pack into my days off that I end trying to do too much. That being said I did actually accomplish quite a bit. I finally got my internet access organised so I hope to be online a lot more often with more updates and photos. I also have been on a bit of a shopping frenzy. I went to Lohu, which is the sea port most tourists coming from Hong Kong go to. There is a huge shopping complex there with hundreds of items, clothes, jewellery, handbags, shoes, electronics and tailors (including a massive fabric market). I found some large size shoes at long last and got a couple of designer knock-off handbags at an outrageously low price! My working week starts tomorrow, I am currently averaging 28 hours teaching over 5 days with many hours in between doing lesson plans. I am still sharing my apartment but hope to have to it to myself soon. That's all for now, it's late and I must get some beauty rest. Love and God Bless! x

Hong Kong Spree

I finally made it to Hong Kong, this time last week I was pounding the pavement in search of some bargains. I certainly was not disappointed with Hong Kong, it lives up to it's title of shopping Mecca! I bought some wonderful clothes, cosmetics and other essentials. I spent most of the first day with a work colleague who knew HK well and showed me around. The second day I explored on my own after spending the night in a low rent hostel (cheap but clean!). The photos show the weather was a little dreary but my mood was very up and I enjoyed being able to converse with shop assistants in English and find clothes in my size at an unbeatable price. I hope to get away to HK again soon. On the homefront it looks like my flatmates are moving out so I will take on the apartment lease where I am currently living. It's 2 bedrooms, views of the park on the 10th floor, and very close to school. Will update my progress again soon. Love and peace to all! xo
