I jumped on a bus and I went and I went

 Last Sathurday I went to visit my rommate Cammy's home. On the way I went all nerdy and listen to Harry Potter on audio book while watching the view, so great.

 Tried to catch some of the scenery on picture.


 Cammy's family was the best and brought me out for dinner. After that we went back to the appartment and celebrated Cammy who had her birthday the day after. Happy birthday Cammy!

 They also offered me some "yàn wō" soup, which translates literally as "swallow's nest". Quite good, but also a bit strange.

 Then Cammy and her brother Felix showed me some local bands to check out.

 We went out for breakfast, or more like brunch.

 And ate dim sum. Afterwards I was so full that I didn't eat more until late night...

 Cammy and I.

Here all the time

 This Sathurday we took the whole day of from studying and headed into Central for some tasty breakfast, sightseeing and shopping. It felt really good to be out in the city again, we have not had a lot of time to do that lately with all our mid terms.
 
 It's always busy in Hong Kong.




 It was a quite chilly and humid day, still the city is warmer than our campus which is located on a mountain.






 We went to this café in Shueng Wan for our breakfast, the food was nothing speciall really. It was nice with some proper bread and some yoghurt though.

 I had sourdough bread.

 Diana.

 Lena.




 I am always so amazed by the scaffolds made of bamboo.

 One of many outdoor restaurants.



 In Central the buildngs are very fancy indeed.

 Diana and I spent the rest of the day running around in Jordan and Mong Kok, doing some errands and then eating som rather tasty Taiwanese fastfood. In the evening we had korean bbq buffé and then a party at an underground club back in Shueng Wan.

When days are the same, but we try to change our steps


 So, since all we seem to be doing this days are spending time on campus, studying for our mid-terms, I though I'd give you a tour. I'd like to call this piece 'Diana walkes around Campus' since she is my most faithful photo object.

So, first of all here is my hostel called Chan Chun Ha Hostel.

 We have an awsome terrasse whit a great view. Unfortainly my room is on this side of the building, so I can't see it.

 My elevator, because there are just so many elevators on this campus...

 And always something fun going on.

 Here we have Diana's building; Bethlehem Hall.

 At the entrance to our 'college' there is a waterfall.

 This is one of many great shortcuts we got to know.

I just never get tired of this view.

 On our way to class we usually pass by I-center which is one the administrative areas. There is a crazy lot of stairs, if you're lazy there is escalators though.

 The pond, I've only been down there once.

 A part of Chung Chi College, where most of our classes are.

 Sino building is also part of Chung Chi, and here we have our 'Christianity and Islam in the Global Order' class and alse the one about 'New Security Challenges'.

 Diana and our class mate Yuki, in one of our (less nice) class rooms.

 This is the CC canteen where it's always busy. At campus I usually eat in one of the canteens which is like a mix between a cheap restaurant and a school dining hall.

 The afternoons are usually spend at central campus in this library.

 The engineering building 'William M. W. Wong', also a shortcut.

 Since our campus is located on kind of a mountain, there are many stairs. This part is very nice since there is a lot of vegetation.


Here is the view from Esther Lee building and it shows some of the cenral parts of campus too. The yellow thing is another elevator where we usually pass most days (the shortcut from the beginning of the post).
