Free to feel
Today is Chung Yeung Festival holiday. I don' t need to sweep the grave as my family has already done it at Ching Ming Festival. Therefore I dated with my friends to go shopping as the autumn is coming. ^^ We went to TST first. And then, we caught the MTR to Mong Kok. We bought some snacks as our lunch. We went shopping started at about 2 o' clock, then we finished at 6 o' clock. All of us felt very tired. We went to KFC having our dinner.
John, do you remember you asked me why hongkongers always need to wait? I know the answer, but it just about eating aspects. During the dinner, I saw a westerner ate a lot of food and he finished very fast. Then, he went away. Actucally, we started the dinner before the man. Moreover, I discovered hongkongers like talking while we have a meal. After the meal, we are still talking.
Hence, we spend a lot of time on talking, not eating. If there are many people need to wait the seats for meal, we have to wait until the people stop talking.

Yes I have noticed that Hong Kongers really talk a lot :-) I suppose the lifestyle we have in the West is much more active than here. People always say HK is a fast-paced place but I really think they confuse fast with crowded. A crowded place may look busy and active but it isn't necessarily fast moving. I know my life in England and Australia is much faster than the one I have here.

Right! Hong Kongers impresses people that is a fast-paced place, but most, we always filled with people everywhere, especially in holiday. In fact, Hong Kongers walk fast as we want to catch up to the time that we lost. We are waiting for everything so that we would walk fast. Campared with England and Australia, they would have to arrange the time as better as our Hong Kong.
