After sleeping for 13 hours last night, I am hopeful that the jetlag has run its course. With such an accomplishment, I begin settling into my new life in Hong Kong for the next couple of months. I will attempt to update this blog as a way to keep in touch with those in faraway lands (hi, mom and dad!) and also to remember the adventures of this place.
Since arriving 4 days ago, Sam and I have spent a lot of time outside - enjoying the warmth and humidity that is just getting started for this Hong Kong summer. My legs have received special attention thanks to the 97-step climb to the apartment, the overall hilly landscape of the city and yesterday's hike up Pottinger Peak.
What's new:
I got my first tutoring gig lined up! I will be working with a 3-year-old boy 5 days per week from 8-9pm. Late, right? He and his parents are very sweet and I'm excited to get to get to know them.
What I've learned:
Trying to find free wifi at a cafe is a real challenge and finding one with an outlet feels like winning a gold medal. I found one today, but of course someone beat me to it.
