One week in Oradea, Romania


Hello Hong Kong!! I've arrived in Oradea for a week already. Everything here is so European. They have lots of, lots of church. Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish Church, you name it. The church here is beautiful, especially Catholic and Orthodox. They have a huge Catholic church here and it is the biggest Catholic church around these region. So one of the most common thing here is religion. Everyone has their own religion here, even another intern Galvin from Singapore is a Protestant, so I am kind of the only "no religion" person in the town. By the way, the buildings around here are very European and there are lots of them.

The LC reception here is good. We have an AIESEC member called Ady who accompanies us a lot. Since not everyone here knows English here, it is hard to get around without knowing the route beforehand. Ady is actually not a Romanian, but Hungarian. He is really really nice. He even accompanied us to the dinner without having food for himself. Also there are other AIESEC members who are really cool. I can introduce them later.

We had a busy schedule here. We delivered training session for the NGO conference and we went to high school to present our country and AIESEC exchange. Also we walked a lot and I do mean A LOT. The transportation here is complicated, with no english, so walking is the most easiest way for foreigner to get around. Anyway we got a tight schedule nearly everyday (and kind of random), so many things happened in this week.

So far I like this place, I think I will have a hard time when I go back to HK.

You can checkout the photo in my facebook. I still got lots of photo and video to upload. :P

Audrey @ Thailand

This is 8:00 am in the morning in Thailand. I have wake up at 7:30am this morning.
Why I wake up so early, it is because the life style is totally different from Hong Kong.
When it was 11:30pm last night, I was pushed to sleep.
I think that Thailand do not have night life (夜生活). plaza closed at 9:20 p.m. and when it is only 10 sth at night, the atmosphere just like 1 or 2 am in Hong Kong.
Last night (the night that I arrived here), we went to the central plaza 3 to have dinner. the meal is 30 Baht (without drink), It is around HKD 8.
and I bought some daily necessary here. The prices are acceptable. But for water, because I bought some imported ones, so it cause me around HKD 16.5/L. But for a local one, it is around HKD 2.6/L only.

First week in Beijing

很開心黎到北京已經有幾日了!
由昨天開始,我已經上班了~
因為交通的問題,我們第一天上班就遲左大約10 分鐘,才回到!
真係不太好意思!
之後就開始工作! 昨日的工作主要都是serach 一些information 是關於condom restaurant in Thailand.因為這裡的NGO,想開一間頖似的Cafe,由於我有係酒店工作的經驗,所以我的工作是寫一個Proposal 是關於一個這樣的cafe 咖!之後讓他們去實行這件事咖! 這些就是我工作了! 這裡其實是一些胡同的地方,有時間的時候,我會拍下一些照片,讓你們看看的!

講番生活先,
係我正式返工的前一天,我們去左家樂福Shopping,買左很多很多日用品和食物!這邊的家樂福很似吉之島呀! 但是價錢都唔係好貴! 都可以接受的!
我和kate(美國來的女仔)一齊住在一個叫太平家園的地方,都離我們返工的地方幾遠咖!但是那裡的環境都很好! 跟香港的大型屋苑差不多! 我有少少覺得這裡的環境比我家還要好一些! 除左無Lifti之外! 依家我每天上落來回要走10層樓,因為我住係5樓呀! 唉! 真的苦了我一雙腳!
其他都好好! 有街市係附近,可以買餸煮飯!

另外,這邊的消費,特別是食物都比較便宜,
早餐,只需要$2-3
午餐,大約$5-9左右
晚餐,大約$20-30左右
所以都可以節省一點!

另外,交通都可以la~
因為我們坐地鐵返工咖!
這裡是坐幾遠都只是$2 咖!
而且都幾快咖!不過上班的時候,太多人啦!
好像香港咁樣,但是我們都無辦法,
因為我們都一定是這個時間出門口
仲有,佢哋這裡有一個叫交通卡的card,是用來搭車用
好像我們的八達通一樣!不過唔可以來買野lor~~~
都幾方便咖!

大致上都係咁啦!
內衣褲,我每天都會洗,其他就應該一星期才會洗一次吧!
都無咩其他大的問題,只係掛住屋企,掛住大家,掛住香港的一切!
他們都話,很想很想過來香港玩! 到時要我帶佢哋佢玩wor~~
暫時就係咁多啦!
