A Broad Reference

I finally got all my paperwork together for my student visa. I am in Hong Kong trying to get processed. Thankfully my aunt lives in Kowloon, and I'm staying with her. It's New Year Sales here, all the shelves are empty and being restocked or priced to go go go. Hong Kong is such a bustling and busy place compared to Taipei, it feels like 2x or 3x more people in every square inch, and they all happened to get into the same train car as me. The weather is warmer too altho it may just be warmer back in Taipei and I'm missing it.
Ducked into the Peninsula Hotel to make use of the facilities. So decadent and plush, here I am documenting the event with one of the bellhops.

I've already made my first pit stop at "healthy dessert" place on Jordan Road near my aunt's office. I had the regular mango coconut concoction and an interesting curry dish that was the sum of parts- fish balls, squid, pork skin, intestine etc. Very yummy.

Tomorrow I'll wander around and check out the real estate, I'm feeling like I'd love to live in Hong Kong too.
