Mornings

I know many people who do not consider themselves morning persons, but for me, I love my mornings! I've been enjoying the a.m. a lot more now that I've been making delicious Starbucks coffee at home with this baby: the Chambord French coffee press by Bodum. Mmm, coffee!

A Lovely Sunday

 

I had a lovely day with a good friend and colleague (from Edmonton!) that I have been blessed enough to meet here in Hong Kong. We spent a not so lazy Sunday having a teppanyaki lunch and then my wonderful and patient friend taught me how to skate! It's shameful, I know, being an Ottawa girl with the Rideau Canal in my backyard for all of my life, and not knowing how to skate. But she successfully taught me how today. It is never too late to learn something that you have always wanted to do.

Some CNY Glitter

When I came to Hong Kong, I promised myself that I would endeavour to see the "glitter" that living here has to offer. I must be honest and say that I have seen a lot more grey than I had hoped to see, but now with Chinese New Year just around the corner, there is still a chance for a new and better beginning. I've been greeted by these blossoms on a daily basis while on my way to work, and lately, it's what has been helping me remember that there is always "glitter" in everything; I just have to be willing to see it.

Avenue of (HK) Stars

It's free evenings to myself in Hong Kong when I get to stroll along the harbour and view the beautiful skyline that I truly love the city. Even though I've been here since August, I sometimes still feel (and act) like a tourist. While walking along the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui after a curriculum meeting on the Kowloon side, I decided to take advantage of my time and spend it as a tourist, snapping photos and taking in the sights.
