Make new friends

We met Auntie Betty and her children last Saturday in a morning “Yum Cha”. Her three children are in the school winter break, they came to Hong Kong from Canada to have a reunion with their mom.
They are one young woman and two young men in their middle to late twenty. This is the last school year to all from them, the boys are studying economics, and the girl is a Phd student of Nerve science. Cool!!

Jeff and I went out with them at late night for drinks in Knutford Terrace. We chatted a lot. They are quite different with people I meet everyday. They are very cheerful, sincere and appreciative, less criticizing, and take all the chances to learn and to experience humbly. The girl kept saying she respects Hongkongeses a lot as we work very hard, even she experiences cultural shock here (for example, people just stand very close with each other when they line up, and rush everywhere), she still think Hong Kong is an amazing and dynamic place.

The greatest discovery that night is I found three discovery channel freaks who speak the same language of mine. That was a very great night. I would love to visit Canada one day!
