i want to tell about my last winter vacation. because i spend spectacular vacance.
At first , i just wanted to have a special experience  and i found the way that i can earn the money, ,learn english ,and travel in foreing country. it was working holiday program. but, unusually, the country that i went with this interesting program, it was Hongkong, it sounds a little weird.
but i'd had stupid thought that there was colony of the England, so they must speak English fluently.
this expectation made me go there. the real life in there during about 2 months, it was really opposite of my thought. In the Honkong i worked in the Korean reastaurants just as a waitress.

what's more surprising is the true that the residents can't speak and understand english well. even though i've lived in the real local town, it was severly surprising. there is one episode.
Actually, during that time,  me and my friend , we had no choice but to go to the Mcdonald to alleviate our hungers. One day, we really wanted to eat ice cream, so we naturally ordered the ice cream in english to the employee. omg, she didn't understand it. i don't know exactly whether there was a problem for us or not. anyway, we were shocked about it. finally we couldn't help ordering it by pointing out it's image. like this case, there were so many problems about the language because we didn't know any chinese.

but it doesn't mean it was a terrible experience. there were also good things,

Honkong's people were so nice and kind. whenever we had difficulty to work in the restaurant they gave us some helps.
and the owner also was nice to us. He could get us eat some delicious and exprensive foods.
in addition, we could travel so many. around 11 times. so we used to visite unknown placesin which the tourists don't go easily.
any way, it is the amazing experience that i'll never forget in my life.
