My day-to-day

[kristelfromthemoon-blog]

I am very complicated when it comes to food. I think it must be something related with me studying nutrition and trying to eat as healthy as possible. However, sometimes It’s hard for me to find something to eat and I get frustrated. It has been really hard here in Hong Kong as they do not eat enough vegetables. If you see their Food Pyramid, they have fruits as vegetables above rice, pasta and starchy carbohydrates. Yes, that means they eat more rice than vegetables. These past few days I have been struggling, but today I finally decided that I was going to make my own way to any restaurant that serves salad. And I found one. It feels so great to eat vegetables when you have not done it in a while.

First day and I’ve already seen different and new things. Starting from the money. It is SO COLOURFUL!

Food here is also very interesting. So many variety of cakes.

I really have nothing to say about the toilet. Just look at it.

And finally, funny messages n the streets.

We just arrived and we wanted to spend every single minute on visiting the city.

My longest flight

As an international student from Ecuador, I’ve taken long flights to Manchester in the past; however they have never felt this way.

This flight to Hong Kong felt like the longest and the most tiring I’ve taken in my whole life. I seriously don’t know why.

I woke up at 5:20 am and I went to the gym because I knew it was going to be a long flight and I need to FEEL TIRED TO FALL ASLEEP during the flight. I went to the airport at 9:00 am and the flight was not until 12:40 pm.

I hade a big breakfast and I took some food with me because I hate the food they always give in planes. I was ready for everything.

We boarded the plane and departed on time. Surprising, right? I wasn’t feeling tired yet. It was only 1:00pm. How on earth was I supposed to feel ready to sleep?

The food service was 2 hours after we departed and they turned out the lights at around 4:00pm to force us to sleep. But it was only 4:00pm. I didn’t want to sleep yet. My friends who were sitting next to me were also very very chatty so we talked for almost 11/12 hours of the flight.

I usually go to sleep at around 10:00pm, but the problem was that it was 10:00pm England when we arrived in Hong Kong , where it was the morning of the next day. SO I WANTED AND NEEDED TO SLEEP. But it was the first day and everyone was excited to go and explore Hong Kong.

Lucky me!

After a long 12-hours flight, I can finally say Hello Hong Kong.

Hello world!

I will be documenting my experience participating in the Enhanced Third Term where I am doing a short exchange abroad in Hong Kong. This blog is a way to capture my experiences over the time I will be here through photos, videos and much more. I hope you enjoy every single post because you can be sure that I am doing it with my whole heart.
