Tsim Sha Tsui's

Started my training for my new job today and back in the classroom for some observing tomorrow.No longer will I be called Miss Marshall but Miss Roseanna,part of the training so far has been a fun process putting method into practise by playing English Drama games suitable for the pupils.
After work I took a trip down to Kowloon Park to go swimming.The complex has roughly four outdoor pools and four indoor training pools.So by the time I did my 'serious' swim in the indoor pool ,It was dark enough to see Tsim Sha Tsui's skyline whilst relaxing in the humid heated outdoor pools. I  was very impressed with the fact that you can pay with your Octopus Card (Hong Kong's alternative to London's Oyster card) to enter the complex.
Infact you can almost pay for anything on the Octopus card within reason from McDonalds to groceries from 7/11.

And I have arrived....

After the emotional goodbyes from Mum and Dad ,I landed in Hong Kong on Friday Evening.Currently living in a hostel in Tsim Sha Tsui with Lizzie my colleague to be.

It feels refreshing to be back in this wonderful city.I have already ventured out to Mongkok,IFC via the blistering trek from the Starferry terminal and I have ventured to the infamous Lan Kwai Fong.

The hostel I am staying in is reasonably priced and is in a very central and busy part of the city.

Last night me and my future colleagues got a taxi from North Point to the Lan Kwai Fong.It felt like I'd never left the buzz and bustle of the cantonese and foreigners drinking outside 7/11 since I last visited four years ago.

Off to see the famous extravagant but tacky famous light show on the harbour front before I start training for my job tomorrow.

Three days to go...

Three days till I move to Hong Kong.I shall be keeping you all updated of my travels on here.

I am going to be working for a company that teaches English as a foreign language through Drama around various schools in Hong Kong.

Two years after graduating and moving back home from university ,I have decided that it is time to flee the nest again.
