Hong Kong Trip 2014





Clark International Airport Departure area
   
 After 2 years, I visited Hong Kong again but this time with my husband dearest. We went to Hong Kong twice in year 2014. First was in September for my hubby's written exam for right hand driving license. Then we went back in November for hubby's actual right hand driving practical exam.  We stayed in HK for 14 days each trip. We went to several places in Hong Kong and it was really a dream come true for me to be able to travel with my hubby!

 On our second trip in November 2014, I got the chance to have a job interview with one of the popular language schools in New Territories. It's such a once-in-a-life-time opportunity for me to be able to pursue my teaching career internationally. I went to several kindergarten and intermediate schools in Hong Kong as part of my practicum through my language school prospective employer. I learned several teaching practices and techniques used in Hong Kong schools. I was able to witness first hand how they conduct language teaching and had the chance to do practical teaching myself as an English language teacher with kindergarten students. Then I got the job offer and signed the contract and my work visa has been processed just right before we head back to Manila.

As per Immigration, it usually takes 8 weeks for work visa to process. We went back to Manila full of joy and we're indeed grateful for all our experiences in Hong Kong. It was a promised blessing for my hubby for passing his right hand driving license exams and for me having a future English language teaching career in Hong Kong. I guess, we are both ready to work and live  as a couple  in Hong Kong sooner or later. We are so blessed for all those opportunities in our lives. I can't wait to visit my favorite theme parks in HK again and again with family and friends when we are already settled in HK someday.

During our trip in Hong Kong, I became more acquainted with Hong Kong itself and it's most convenient forms of transportation such as MTR, tram, bus and taxi. We often take the MTR  and tram ride. 
Another thing that I really love about Hong Kong is the reloadable card called "Octopus" because you don't have to worry about bringing too much cash on hand, you just have to swipe it and off you go...You can ride any transpo or buy any goods using that Octopus card.
