⭐ Weekly 22/2024 Weekly update from Hong Kong! ⭐ 💕😮 My week started like many before. On Monday, I had to clean up the house and do laundry after my kids and family members visited over the weekend. I also had some pain in my stomach and back because of periods 🙄

But the exciting part is, I started packing up for my trip to Hong Kong! I had a total of 1 big luggage, 1 smaller one, cabin size luggage and a computer bag. Lots of stuff for a small girl and only a 1-week trip! 🤣🧳💼🧳💼

I also managed to get travel insurance fast. I read that it is not a good idea to travel without insurance. If something happens or I get sick on the trip it can be very expensive to get treatment for me outside of Thailand. Learning something new every day 🤭

Originally, I planned a South-Thailand trip, but that was not possible, and the weather is likely going to be bad (at this time of year, it would be raining almost every day for the next month). I have told a couple, who are friends of mine, many times that I want to travel outside of Thailand, but I'm afraid to go alone because I don't know what to do. They told me that they have to go to take care of business there and asked if I want to go at the same time and they can help with basic things to get me started. So now my first trip outside Thailand is finally coming after many years of waiting! 🥳

Tuesday was a big day! With a short night’s sleep after long hours on the computer and making sure my mother's sister has my keys and she remembers everything about how to take care of the house and puppies, and then it was off in a taxi to the airport, and I worked online until getting to the airplane. Then I found out that there is internet available, but it was quite slow. So, I still got something done and I watched part of the Wall-E cartoon while eating food. Food was very good. I heard people say that food on airplanes is not good, but I liked it! 😍

When I got to Hong Kong my eSim activated and I had the internet working right away! That is amazing how easy that is to do. Fast airport train to city and then a short taxi drive to hotel. Online work and then later a little bit walking around the hotel and eating noodles 🍲(my first time to have food outside of Thailand 🤭).

My hotel room is small, but modern, very clean and the hotel internet is super-fast even with VPN. That is very good for me and makes being online easy 😀

Wednesday, I learned how to use the bus and subway. Then, using a cable car, I went to a mountain where I could see Hong Kong fully. I got some nice pictures and there were even a few minutes of sunshine too! 🌞 Then the best ever bus drove back to the city from the mountain and I went on a Ferris wheel ride near the beach. After that, I had a short ferry trip to Kowloon and then back across and back to the hotel and rest of the day and night online.

Thursday was a cloudy and rainy day. I took a long bus ride to see different parts of Hong Kong. I then stopped at the space museum near the harbor before going back to the hotel. In the evening, I went to go watch a light show at the harbor, but it was raining and cold! ⛈️🥶 I tried to get some videos and pictures, but they were not very good.

Friday was cloudy and rainy again, and I hurt my stomach and back quite a lot (periods) and I stayed at the hotel and worked on the computer almost all day. Originally, I was hoping to go to Ocean Park. I hope the weather is better Monday and I can go there then. In the evening, I walked to the local market near the hotel just to look around and buy little presents for my kids and the rest of the evening and night I was online.

Saturday's weather was still the same. Quite dark, cloudy and rainy. I spent most of the day at the hotel and online again. I went to visit the Hong Kong Museum of Art and eat noodles. Both times I got wet and cold because of the rain and then ended up feeling a little bit sick.

Sunday morning it was raining, but then by about 11 am the weather got better, the sun was shining and felt warm! 😎🌞 Almost like in Thailand! I made a trip to Ngong Ping and took a gondola lift (cable car) to the top of the mountain and visited 2 temples. Lots of walking, but it was nice to have a day with good weather! 😀

Only a couple of days more before returning to Thailand! I miss kids, puppies and home, so it feels very good to go back!

I spent a lot of time on the computer chatting, editing and taking care of accounts, but as some of you noticed I was offline a little bit more than usual and you had to wait for answers for messages. Sorry about that, but next week I will be back to normal! And thank you for keeping me company and chatting with me and asking questions! 💋💋💋💖

Those were my first days outside of Thailand! How was your week? Please remember that I am here for you and happy to chat with you! 🥰💕🤗

Thanks for being with me on this journey and thank you for all of your support and messages! 💋🤗💖💋
