Sounds funny huh? Well China has this vacation thing called "Golden Week" where we get a week off for vacation. It's awesome... but the bad thing is that the weekend before you go on this holiday, you have to work. Therefore, I worked a total of 7 days straight and that is so beyond tiring. However, I knew that there was going to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I was off to spend a week in Taiwan and Hong Kong. First was Taiwan to see my grandma. She's 90 this year and has Alzheimer's and that sucks. I love my grandma dearly so whenever I have time to go, I go. It is tough to see her this way, but it's better to see her than to not. So, my parents and I headed off to Taiwan for a mini vacation. I was only there for two days and three nights but was able to see my cousins and my grandma. Then off to Hong Kong. My sister has moved there so I thought I'd go and visit her and my friends as well. Found out a month ago that a friend of mine from GW is living in Hong Kong so it was a great to see him (Ryan) as well. I'm sure those of you from GW will laugh when you see these photos. I was also able to see Gavin (who I normally see when I'm in HK) and we partied like rock stars :) I love HK. It's just so different than Shanghai, but it is wayyyy more expensive. I was able to go to a new restaurant called Aqua with Ry and we had a great time. We of course also went to the infamous Lan Kwei Fang. Drinking....what else can we do? I went hiking for a day on Lamma Island and got my legs bitten by a million mosquitos. It was a gorgeous hike, with the exception of these damn critters. I will have to find some photos to post of that as well.
Anyhow, back to work tomorrow...so not excited for that :) Until my next post...miss you guys. xoxo
