ournal with Stanley-

Day one with Stanley:

Today I received Stanley from Terence, Stanley is really cute. I wonder if he had recovered from the bulletin board accident. I really like the tie with spots, it was so attractive.
Tonight Stanley and I ate dinner together, it was really fun.

Day two with Stanley:

Today Stanley has been stepped by my sister. Because Stanley is really little and we can’t see him. But then my sister played with Stanley. Later on today, Stanley and my family went to go yam cha. It is a cantonese way to say drink tea and to eat some snacks. Stanley is kept in my sister’s bag all the time just in-case he got lost. We had a pretty good time enjoying our cup of Chinese tea.

Day three:

Today Stanley and I went to the park near by. When we got home Stanley got lost!
I hope I can find him tomorrow!

Day four:

Today, I found Stanley hiding behind my computer. Stanley scared me! Later on Stanley really got flat my grandpa’s visitor sat on him! hahaha

Day five:

Today, Stanley went to pick a new phone with me. The phone looks a gold and white! It was really fun having him here!
Stanley is one cute boy! :)

Learning about Hong Kong

Hong Kong is located on China’s south coast on the Pearl River Delta. It has a population of 6.9 million people, and is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Hong Kong was a dependent territory of the United Kingdom for approx. 150 years. It was handover (the transfer of its sovereignty) from United Kingdom to China in 1997.

95% of population of Hong Kong is Chinese; remaining 5% of population is composed of non-ethnic Chinese such as Sindhis, Indians, Pakistanis, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Indonesia, Europeans, Americans, Australians,
Canadians, Japanese, and Koreans.

Hong Kong’s official dialect is Cantonese. English is also an official language. Signs displaying both Chinese and English are common throughout the territory.   Since the 1997 handover, an increase in immigrants
from mainland China and greater integration with the mainland economy have brought an increasing amount of Mandarin speakers to Hong Kong.
