Jumbo Floating Restaurant

Jumbo Kingdom is a famed restaurant in Hong Kong. According to a post from CNN , Jumbo Kingdom is the World’s largest floating restaurant. That’s why we have to try it. Everyone is welcome to join for a hangout among Local Guides in HK. Welcome to bring your own friends even they are not LGs yet. (Surely they will be one after the gathering.)

加油 @TonyChu !:)

希望這次舉辦的Meet-up會很多新的在地嚮導加入我們的“小”Connect家庭。

我一直想問你,你現在繼續捐血嗎?我覺得這是一件有道德的事情,我自己從來沒有捐血,但打算把它當一個好的習慣。

非常佩服你們 @TonyChu 、@SampsonF。希望很多當地在地嚮導會去參與你們的活動。

這次舉辦的活動你估計參與的人大概多少?

Hi @Shirley, do you go back often to Hong Kong? I was there this year in June, hopefully I will make it one day soon and could meet all of you there.

We can try out night mode on the phone @TonyChu !!!

@TsekoV : It totally depends, I have been back more recently in the last few years. Partly because flights to Asia at much cheaper than flights to Europe! It’ll be great to meet you somewhere, Europe or Asia!

@TonyChu 你們經常聚聚嗎?香港相當大城市當地的在地嚮導應該也不少。我也好希望能來參與這次的活動。很想認識你們,也希望認識其他的在地嚮導。

The restaurant that you chose as a meeting spot also looks great, hopefully next time we can also come with @Shirley . : )

As for the flights @Shirley , indeed it looks like recently flights got cheaper to Asia and I am happy about it. : ) I am also very curious to learn more and more about Canada. I have studied French language for many years and I know people there do speak this language. What is more I know there winters are quite snowy and white and I am a winter-loving person.

我同意你的想法 @TonyChu 。我也希望捐血能成為恒常的活動。你知不知道捐血一年能做幾次?好像男人和女人捐血的數次不一樣。

我也期待看很多你們拍的精彩照片。也期待認識很多香港在地嚮導。

Hello @KarenVChin , may I ask are you also located in Hong Kong? And I am a bit curious, do you speak Chinese? :slight_smile:

@TsekoV : Canada is very different depending on where you are. I spent many years learning French but cannot really speak because very few people are fluent outside of Quebec province. Vancouver is also one of the few cities that doesn’t get very much snow, but plenty in the mountains, which is only 30 minutes away from the city! Most of us don’t enjoy the snow on the roads, but will go to the mountains for snowboarding or skiing! I have a trip coming up soon myself!

It is great when you can practice a language with natives @Shirley , but if it is hard to find them, learning it indeed is quite hard.

I am really looking forward to knowing more about those great mountains. These two words mountains and snow are of the things I like the most. Still, snow on the roads is a problem for everyone, but when you can enjoy it out of the city is simply beautiful and peaceful. Today will be the first day it is going to snow here in Bulgaria and I can’t wait to see the first snowflakes for the winter. I am so much excited about it.

Hopefully later you could share some great photos of those mountains.

@TsekoV , I live in the San Francisco Bay Area where a lot of the descendants of Hong Kongers, Macau, and from Canton (now Guangdong province) came from post California Gold Rush of 1849 to work as laborers for building the railroads, farms, ranches, flowers (prior to Silicon Valley being known for what it is today, there were fruit orchards and cut flower cultivation all along San Jose up to Menlo Park).

i am one of those descendants, 5 generations, born here in San Francisco. They came because of famine and for a better life. The Chinese name for San Francisco translates to “Gold Mountain.” My family is from Guangdong, what was known as Toishan and Macau. They came and never left the area.

Speak a little Cantonese. Studied Mandarin for years (but no one in my family speaks so that was hard). My Chinese comes in handy when I am in Hong Kong or mainland China. I get smiles from both.

We celebrate all of the Chinese holidays and customs that go along with them. We even incorporate “Chinese” into major American holidays - such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Hope this helps explain a little little more about me.

Cheers,

Karen

I understand, thank you @KarenVChin . So 旧金山 is San Francisco. I like the meaning of those words.

Do you like getting back to your origins and visiting those places? It is more than great that you and your family remembers where exactly you come from and keep it inside you.

In Cantonese, “hello” is “leihou” if I am not mistaken? :slight_smile:

謝謝你的解釋 @TonyChu 。 在香港人的眼裡捐血是經常見的事情嗎?
