I ♥ HK.

It's been raining in Singapore for three days now. So I felt compelled to show a photo I took when it was raining in Hong Kong as well. Perhaps it was the years of watching TVB dramas, but I couldn't help but felt the strange sense of familiarity when I stepped foot onto Hong Kong, like I was a native.

But darn those formulating years of having to watch dubbed Hong Kong dramas, perhaps now my Cantonese would have been decent enough. I hated having to turn around at some salesperson going on in their native tongue and then in my faltering Mandarin mentioned my incapacity to speak any of it.

The colourful dialect aside, I found myself inspired by the messy nucleated metropolis that is Hong Kong. The tall buildings crammed so close to each other, the dull, washed-away facade of the walls and the bright neon signs at night. Hong Kong is so unlike Singapore, where everything is so neatly organised. I could go on gushing about the food, too.

Somehow I see myself going back to Hong Kong pretty often.
