As you can probably guess by the title, I am a book worm Since I'm exploring Hong Konh, I went to the famous book fair today and I was surprised that they had so many English books! Went out at 9 and came back at 3. Although it was the typical Hong Kong people everywhere day, you still can't imagine how many people there were! It felt like I was a drop of water in the sea! There were different sections of books with different "stalls" which were individual bookstores from all around Hong Kong. Each stall would have it's special prices and promotions, with prices you can't imagine. I didn't like the part when I had to queue up for half an hour... but I spent less than HKD700 (£60 today) haha! Just a shame that they didn't have a LGBT corner :/ other than that, it was amazing! Here's a list of what I bought: -What Money Can't Buy (Michael J. Sandel) -Volume (Kenneth FitzGerald) -Thinking, Fast and Slow (Daniel Kahneman) -Hinge (Architecture Interior Design) -Life of Pi (Yann Martel) -Les Misérables (Victor Hugo) -The Power of Habit (Charles Duhigg) -Learning to Live (Luc Ferry) -Sabe (FYS Crew) -1984 (George Orwell) -Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Jonathan Safran Foer) -Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury) -MWM VectorFunk
Hong Kong (Meaning Fragrant Harbour) It was not until 29 August 1842 that the island was formally ceded in perpetuity to the United Kingdom under the Treaty of Nanking. The British established a crown colony with the founding of Victoria City the following year, the British handed over Hong Kong in 1997 to China, this is why there was probably a lot of books in writen in English
You bought those out of interest at 14? Well, you should have an ball in high school English courses; You might end up reading all of the literature in advance.
