Visiting Wan Chai (1)
Hee... As I study in RS, I had a causal dressing day as I need to go Wan Chai sightseeing at the lunchtime till the evening. By the way, through the visiting, we can learn about HK's culture. And I think it is really funny for me because we can learn something that we can't learn from the book!
First, we gathered together to go outside. Due to the lunchtime, we decided to go Wan Chai having a lunch at 'Lung Moon Restaurant'. ( I don't know the English name of the Chinese restaurant, but it is so famous as the restaurant has already build near a half century ) Then, we walked to the Wan Chai Market. There are a various of things for the residents. Walked along the road, we arrived a special place - Blue House. Oh, that's really different from other buildings. The whole building is almost blue, but 1/4 of the building is not blue as it is private land. However, this amazing building will be taken apart. :-(
On the other hand, Lee Tung Street ( Wedding Card street) is also faced the same problem. Most residents are the elders, why the government can't hear their voice giving a good response to them? I think the treatment is so miserable for the elders. If the elders leave their living places, they will not adapt the new life and will not know their new neightbous. Therefore, the elders will lose the connection with the whole society.
Finally, we went to a restaurant to enjoy egg-tart & cold milk tea. That's quite special for me as I could go outside school learning about HK. John, will we have an English lesson to go outside? I am looking forword to having the free day.

So you can see why I love Wanchai so so much and why I hate the Urban Renewal (Destruction) Authority. They are DESTROYING the history of Hong Kong - the thing that makes HK so special. And for what???? To build boring airconditioned shopping malls and offices the same as everywhere else in the world. Arghhhhhhhhhh!
I took my Form 4 class out last month. I would love to take 6A out but not sure where and what for. The A level rules our lives :-(

Actually,this was my first time to go to Wanchai although I am living in HK for a long time.I can see the residents love their living place very much.
'They are DESTROYING the history of Hong Kong' <---that's really ture!Thinking about Wanchai,we would get a lot of questions and would ask WHY.
Maybe HK government thinks that boring airconditioned shopping malls and offices = INTERNATIONAL IMAGE in the world.So miserable!!!
I hate A level rules :-( If we would go somewhere, could we go in the holiday?
