Leih hou, ngohdeih puhngyauh!! I know I say this every single week, but I learned so much this past week! Sometimes it’s the same lesson over and over that you have to learn, even when you think that you’ve finally got the hang of it. And sometimes it’s a new one that you never…

Another week flown by! One exciting thing that happened since last time is that we finally got our name tags that we’ll wear in Hong Kong!! They have one half in English and the other half in Cantonese, so pretty much they’re super cool. And also it means that we’re getting closer and closer to…
