Have you ever learned about Hong Kong and Tokyo? If you did not, then you should find out more about it. Lucky for you this article is about Tokyo and Hong Kong. So, if you are not going to Hong Kong and Tokyo then you should know about them because they are both amazing places. Read on to unlock secrets that you never knew before and if you ever go to either place then you will already be a pro!
First, Tokyo is an amazing place to visit but to be polite then here is a rule that might seem easy to you but trust me is not. In Japan, which is where Tokyo is located, it is rude to eat while walking. You might be super shocked like me when I first heard the news. Or, you might think it is not shocking, but simple. But to be polite then you should not eat while walking but if you see a bench then you can eat there. Overall, Tokyo is a beautiful place to visit. I visited Tokyo and there are pet cafes such as pig cafes, cat cafes, and so many more!
Second, Hong Kong is an amazing place to visit but summers are hot like so, so, so hot! I mean it. You do not want to go there in the summer. And are the winters ice cold? No! The winters feel like summer! I can prove it. If you go to Central Park, there are birds inside a net. And those birds were not crows they were colorful birds everywhere! I also learned that in Hong Kong there is the longest escalator in the world! We were able to ride it and we did not have to walk much at all. Also, Hong Kong is a wonderful place to get Dim Sum also known as yum cha. Dim Sum is one of my favorite foods! Hong Kong also has Victoria peak. There is also the star fairy and even a Disneyland!
Lastly, we also got to go to an alley that sold stampers in Hong Kong. The stampers were carved out of wood or stone. I picked wood. Also, my zodiac animal was on top of the stamp. I am a monkey. Gong gong (my mama's dada) told the person who sold the stampers my Chinese name and he wrote it down. He then told us to come back once it was done. My Chinese name is Han Lai Ming. In Chinese, your last name is in front of your first name, so Hon stands as Hanley my last name. Lai means polite and Ming means smart. Lai Ming is my western middle name.
I hope by now you know a little more about Hong Kong, Tokyo, and my Chinese name and if you ever visit ether place then you will know a little more about them and what I learned from my experience.
