Meeting Jenny's Students!


Hi everyone! I hope you've enjoyed the posts so far!

After getting to explore downtown Hong Kong for a night, I had an even more exciting night the next night! Jenny took me to meet some of her students! Jenny is a teacher in Hong Kong, where she teaches college students English and History. We all went out to dinner together in an area called "Tsim Sha Tsui," or "TST." TST is famous for having lots of good restaurants and good shopping areas, but most of all for its view of the Hong Kong Skyline. This is Jenny's favorite part of the city, and I think it is my favorite part too!

Here are pictures with all of my new Hong Kong friends:






Jenny introducing me to her students. We had a delicious meal at an Indian food restaurant that night!













Half of her students: (from left) Vina, Luisa, Felix, Me, Billy, Alice, Jacqueline, and Betty.



















Jenny wanted to pop in for a picture too.














The other half of her students, plus two of her best friends from college who were visiting Hong Kong: (from left) Joyce, Crystal, Max, Me, Ellie, Martin, Shelley, and Grace.









Jenny and I told everyone all about Texas and how far I had traveled. They wanted the chance to say hi to all of you, so we made a video for you! If you listen carefully, you will even hear some Cantonese! Jenny managed to hold the camera right side up this time, but she apologizes for her loud laughter in the background!





After dinner, we walked over to the lookout over Victoria Harbour (the body of water that separates Hong Kong Island - where we were yesterday - from Kowloon - where we that tonight).





This is Jenny and I in front of Nathan Road. Nathan Road goes all the way through Kowloon and into the New Territories, another region of Hong Kong. It is one of the longest streets in Hong Kong, as well as one of the most famous!









Here we all are in front of the Peninsula Hotel, the most beautiful and most famous hotel in Hong Kong. They have their own luxury shopping mall inside (you can order diamonds from your room!), and they have their own army of dark green Rolls-Royces, one of the fanciest cars on Earth! It is a pretty fancy place!











Here is the Hong Kong skyline and Victoria Harbour! This isn't even the entire skyline, just about 1/3 of it. It would be impossible to get the whole skyline in one picture!











Here is the whole class together in front of the skyline! It's very blurry, but that just shows you how fast everything moves in Hong Kong!









I hope you have enjoyed meeting Jenny's students with me! See you again soon!
