Time flies. How are you these days?
Please let me express my sincere appreciation to you for the meetings you have organised for us – thank you very much. You are a kind host and we enjoy ourselves in this Family Sharing Programme. Together with Ben from the UK and Cathy from Beijing, we formed a “family” with very different cultures and backgrounds. It’s an amazing chance to get together and share our experiences around the table.
Our first gathering was unforgettable for me. You invited us for an afternoon tea or “yum cha”, a traditional and usual activity of Hong Kong people. Ben and I missed the bus stop that day and were almost lost in the hustle and bustle of Causeway Bay. Luckily we were able to find our way to meet you and Cathy. Spry for being late on our first meet-up.
It was my first time tasting such delicate snacks in Hong Kong. I remember we had a hard time deciding on what to order when reading the menu. All the dishes sounded so attractive. We wanted to try them all! Steamed vermicelli rolls, creamy custard buns, shrimp dumplings, chicken feet… I truly admired the cook who had worked wonders in these small steamers. They were a feast for both the mouth and the eyes.
Thank you for your efforts to have us together, eating, talking, and sharing. I feel like we are brothers and sisters in a family.
Best regards,
Tom
