22.04.10, Thanks Laurent for taking the pic
It's becoming more and more real. As more and more friends leave Hong Kong, reality begins to hit and yes... exchange is almost over...
A couple of my friends organized a farewell dinner for a bunch of exchange students that we have met (and stayed in contact with) during the past 4 months. If you thought Chinese people were loud, having 30+ English speaking friends in the corner of a Chinese restaurant is something else... haha.

Canadians doing the moose and the beaver... haha
Had some really delicious food at this Shanghai restaurant, all for about $120HKD ($16CAD)!
Above is this "tofu pocket" dish - tofu stuffed with cabbage. Had to order this one day in advance!
After dinner we just chilled in the area, loitered around and went to admire the Hong Kong skyline, even though many of the buildings turned off their lights by that time. Still nice to reminisce about the good times we've had so far :)
Food buddies... thanks for getting fat with me... haha
Alter egos: Agnes, Amy, Anita... :)
Taken on the way down an escalator.. lol!
Near Avenue of Stars, TST
We stayed out until 2am and it was kinda hard to find a way home, especially when not all the taxis go across to Hong Kong Island where we all live. We've heard of a 24-hour minibus from Mong Kok which is supposed to be one of the craziest minibus routes in Hong Kong (someone read it from somewhere, very reliable ya? Unfortunately in this aspect the ride was a complete letdown - it takes the same route I take every week to MK haha.). Ended up taking a taxi to Mong Kok and found the bus stop with a huge line, even at 2am. Our party pretty much filled the whole minibus and the driver had to tell us to be quiet... haha! We all got home safely in the end in our fancy clothes and sore feet :)
Really really REALLY going to miss everyone here. I met so many awesome people and it's just unreal that we'll be leaving in a few weeks and may never see each other again. I really think that the best part of this exchange was all the friendships that I've made... sigh... Reunion in 3 years right guys? :)
