Wonderings
I can't believe it's just about 140 days until I leave Hong Kong.
It seems like such a short time and I can't even speak Chinese... yet.
I don't want to leave Hong Kong.... even if I do miss the people in Iceland, I love living in this big city and being here, I have a whole life here and I don't want to leave so soon.
My family is truly wonderful, the whole family, and my brother and sister... ae :)
School I like, I really really like, even if I'm not studying... I have a good class, an exceptionally good class and know a few marvelous people besides.
Sometimes I wonder whether the people at Ti-I think I'm a loner, I'm sure my Icelandic and English friends would laugh at the mere idea... It's so funny to think that I used to be surprised if I walked home from school alone when I lived in Iceland but now it's like "I have a free lesson" and again and again and again.
Before I came here I didn't think anybody studied so much. I mean sure people study but they all do other things aswell. Not just study study study but in Hong Kong you really have to.
I'm not looking forward to going back to Iceland and starting my school again, my friends are now getting much lower grades than they're used to and I'll be taking it after a year on break. Apart from 2 of my friends who get truly outstanding grades. The guy who gives me the fantastic gifts is getting As in EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT but he's not really a normal person.
The weekend was fabulous though we did say goodbye to Gabe. Gabe is Alexander's friend from Austria who decided to visit him for 2 weeks and live in a hotel. Obviously we had a party in his hotel room :) But this is strange, Alexander's best friend visits him now and his family wants to come just before he goes back. Also Dominic's father, sister and ex-girlfriend will visit him and then later his mother but nobody is coming to visit me! My parents signed an agreement not to visit me and my friends aren't "filthy rich" :( But still, it'll be more fun to come home I guess :)
On my Icelandic blogg I did a review over the year of 2004 that I can't be bothered to translate since now 2005 is well on it's way. 2004 was a fantastic year, I travelled to 8 countries and I love travelling and I came to Hong Kong and I love Hong Kong and I made new friends and I love making new friends.... My friends really made 2004 special, I have such good friends and as my mother put it so well in the Christmas card for Dominic.... "Friendship is a treasure, thanks".
