It seems that once in 2 weeks has become the standard of writing for me... So what has happened?  The time just flies without anything going on that would feel so special that it would be worth writing. Just basic going to school (every now and then), going to gym or doing sports (quite actively, 5 times/week), going to LKF or wanchai ("only" once a week or so), watching movies (too many lately) and anxiously trying to download the latest episodes of Prison Break and Lost when they come out. Plan to go and explore Hong Kong more hasn't really realized itself, since there really isn't that much of things and places to go to that would really interest me.

Oh, well perhaps the life still isn't all that ordinary, but it certainly feels a lot less extraordinary than in the 1st semester. So the highlight of last two weeks? Last Friday I finally went to Disneyland with Huiqin. It was pretty nice. Everything is very nicely built and decorated, the staff is very friendly (which is not that common in China) and at least during weekdays the queues were very minimal. But the place is really small and the rides are more for children, so not very thrilling ones. Nevertheless I liked the place, and since the weather and company were both very nice it was worth the staggering 300hk$ ticket price.

Lion King show, which was really nice:


Me and Huiqin with Winnie the Pooh:



To the Shenzhen:

My first 6 months China visa expired some time ago, so I had to get a new one. For the investment not to go in vain so on Saturday we (Henkka&Genie, AJ, Huiqin, Katri, Heta, Enni and I) once again went to Shenzhen. And when you go to Shenzhen it's obvious what happens... I ended up ordering a tailor made winter jacket and one shirt... Well at least I don't need to buy any clothes for some time when I get back to Finland... In addition we visited Window of the World amusement park, where they have built quite big miniature models of allmost all the biggest tourist attractions in the world. Some liked the place, but I didn't that much. They could try to clean up and do some maintenance for most of the models. With little extra effort it could be really nice. The ticket price was 110rmb:s which I think is way too much for what it was.

When we got in we thought that the monkey got screwed really bad:


But it wasn't that bad after all, at least if you haven't seen the real ones, here Taj Mahal:


Angkor Wat, in 3 weeks we will be wondering the real thing, perhaps slightly more wonderous:


Of course from Paris the Triumphal arch and Eiffel tower:


The crappiest attempt, savanna from Africa with all the animals (can u spot the mating elephants?):


The even tried to imitate the Alps and had built a skiing tube similar to one in Vuokatti (my home town):


And last but not least, the only thing to remind of Finland:
