City Life

Well, I have been living in Hong Kong for a little over a week now, and though I am semi getting used to it, I know that there is still a lot of stuff to come. It still amazes me to walk down the street and to see so many people. I love it though. It may sound typical, but at first I couldn't stand the crowds. I felt so rushed and I felt as though I was in everyone's way. As time has gone on though, I have experienced the strangest feeling. I feel very comfortable around the large groups of people. I literally feel a warmth of the people; as if we are connecting. I am enjoying so much these people and this place, though at the same time I have been reliving my college semesters in my mind. I miss BPC so much. I miss my H100 guys from last year, and I miss J200 from this year. I miss Sunday nights at the little chapel, small groups, smoothie night; but I know my time will come when I will be called to return. So for now, I am learning new things, meeting new people, and trying new things. Today I went to some basket ball court and played with some of my new friends. Though I definitely need practice, I enjoyed myself and I really had a great time. Though I tripped and fell on my back, jammed my thumb, bruised my hand, and my nose bled, I had a great time haha. I am sitting in my apartment watching the only english channel we have, and I am just resting fromt he day. It is pretty crazy to think that even though I am in Hong Kong, I can basically get western food anytime i want. However, I am going to try and stick with asian food for a while. Its so crazy to see chickens and ducks hanging in windows, and to see full fish on a platter for a meal. Though its different, its not bad; just different. Hopefully this week I will be able to meet many more students on the campuses so that I can get to know them. I really enjoyed our gathering time last night where we played the guitar and sang some awesome songs. I am getting ready for church tomorrow where I can hopefuly hang out with students. At the moment I am reading through James and when I finish reading through the short book, I plan on doing a much deeper study.

Well thats about it for now,

I will try and keep in touch more often,

Yours truly,

Andrew
