Glitter and Grey

{My own photo of the famous Hong Kong skyline on my first night}

Welcome to Glitter and Grey! After having been in Hong Kong for two weeks, on Friday (has time really gone by that quickly?), and many long emails (er, novels) to family and friends later, I thought to start a blog. Although the main motivation behind this idea was to keep loved ones updated, I also hope to post about new things that I have learned about living in this international metropolis and about my experiences as a Canadian far from home in Hong Kong(crete) <---to be explained in a later post.

The reason behind the name "Glitter and Grey" is because of the glorious, glittery lights that welcomed me on the night that I arrived in Hong Kong (see picture above) but also because of the grey skies that seem to be more of a common sight here than the clear blue that I know exists beyond the dense layer of smog.

While I am here, I endeavour to be seeing more of Hong Kong's glitter than grey, and that you (whoever decides to read my ramblings) enjoy the adventure with me through this blog. With this, I say 唔該 / M̀h'gōi (my go-to/only phrase that I use with HK'ers... so far...) for reading my first post on Glitter and Grey.
