Greetings from Hong Kong

I can't believe hdw time flies! lt has already been a month and a half since [ left Castlepar for Hong Kong. | thought I'd better write now or I'd be on the plane home before I knew it!

Life here in Hong Kong is wonderful but definitely differ ent. Sometimes J wonder if I'm living in dream world where everything is opposite. Having come from a small town and living in a big house with a big yard on.a quiet street and having attended a small school where | knew practically everyone, I found coming to a-magsive city, living in an apartment, sharing a room and going to a school with 3,000 Students quite a shock. At first I thought I'd never adjust, but in no time at all it has become a way of life. | have adapted and am very happy with my new life here

It took me quite a while to get used to some things, particularly the people. Their reaction to me was the hard. est to understand. They treated Heather (she's the other student from B.C.) and myself like movie stars. At school students would follow us everywhere; asking questions, Staring and touching our hair and asking to be our friends. In the beginning it was very unnerving as I didn’t know how to react. Now I just smile and keep walking! It was at this time, however, that I realized that no matter how much Chinese I learned or how well I adapted to their way of life, I would just always be “white”. I think it is hard for Canadians to understand this concept as we come from a multicultural country where it is normal to see people of different cultures and races in our school. In Hong Kong this is not so. Every single person in my

It was a learn. ing experience for them too

I am often asked by teachers and other interested people which country has the better standard of living, Canada or Hong Kong. I have come to the con clusion that it is the values that you put on your own life that makes the differ ence. The emphasis here is-mainly on making money. Living in a tiny apart ment, in a polluted area, is a small sacri fice for making a lot of money

Businessmen tell me that they'd like to come to Canada and live in a big house, but if they did, they'd make less money To Hong Kong people that's the key to happiness—moncy! School is definitely a different experience. The school system is totally foreign to me.

It seems to be a money oriented move for many peo ple. They want to stay in Hong Kong if they are going to make the same amount of money. But if China is going to cause them to make less money then they want to go somewhere ¢lse. It seems that the only people I talk to who are not thinking of leaving, haven't got enough money to move if they wanted to. Any way, I'd better go now as I still have many things to do.
