Life as a Hong Kongese

Sorry and embarrassed enough to say that I haven't updated my blog. To conclude my life in Hong Kong so far, I have a couple elements :)

Before 1/30, it was all about waffles, workout, dancing, chilling with friends, afternoon tea, hiking, getting massages and family.

Since 1/30, it has been about work, wine tasting, learning about wine, workout a little and family.

Monday through Friday from 9 to 6, I have interned at a wine distributor in Hong Kong for almost a month now. To be honest, it has been quite interesting. I have been doing a lot of different types of work in the office but everything has been a learning experience for me.

Week first was mainly training about wine, so I would go in the office in the morning then start wine tasting then be tipsy at work and all that. Wine tasting is not simple at all. Timing, what glasses to use, temperature and all that can make a difference into the wine. Also, I learn a lot about my company's wine - white wine, red wine, brady, cognac, riesling ... so much to learn and never enough time.

Week two was a lot of my energy into the company's website. All I can say about it is public imagine is very important to a company, so a good website equals to a good future ;)

Anyway,  now I have to start getting back to my social life :) meeting up with friends in Hong Kong!
