The kids have finally arrived! The past few days I have spent going through orientation and welcoming the students. My typical weekday schedule is: taking the kids to breakfast and then dropping them off at class; attending an RA meeting; free time until 5; taking the kids to dinner; activities; social time; hall time. We are given about 8 hours of free time during the day to explore!
Yesterday, some of the RAs and I took a ten minute bus ride to the fishing town of Sai Kung. I'll tell the rest of the story through these pictures:
We were very excited with the different kinds of seafood they had in this town. One store owner happily let us stand in his store and take pictures...as long as we promised to come back and eat there!
We found the beautiful harbor to be a perfect backdrop (we are the only female RAs at camp).
As we were gazing at the beautiful harbor, we fantasized about taking a boat trip...
As we were fantasizing, one woman approached us and told us an hour ride would cost $200 Hong Kong dollars...so splitting it would be about $3 American dollars per RA. We had to take her up on the offer! This was our boat.
Our captain didn't speak any English, but we managed to communicate with him that we would like to be dropped off at our University. He agreed (how convenient!).
The water was pretty open, and we saw that the driver was pretty nonchalant (he was driving with his foot, see the above picture). So we decided to ask if we could steer...
Score! All in all, a very successful outing.
