Something Interesting That Happen During The Holiday

During the last December, I went to Hong Kong.The main reason was not to go sightseeing or visiting places like Disney Land, Ocean Park or anywhere. I went to Hong Kong just to celebrate with my grandmother a day which people of Hong Kong must celebrate,'guo dong'.Its a day where people of Hong Kong celebrate the passing by of winter and welcoming the new year.
As my father was a citizen of Hong Kong, we have to celebrate every year.If I ahd remember correctly, the plane that i was taking took off at 4.30pm and i reach Hong Kong around 10pm. The temperature of Hong Kong was icy cold.From my estimation, it was about 14 degree. As my grandmother stays in Hong Kong, we do not have to stay in the hotel. My grandmother has also moved her house which is much smaller. One thing that is weird about Hong Kong was all of houses that people staying was like a 2 room flat.Only very rich people like the celebrities could buy a house 5 room flat.When I reach my grandmother house,I was really shocked as her house was so small that it was only my room. My grandmother's toliet, kitchen and her living room was the size of my room.When I sleep, i do not need to on the air-conditioner as 14 degree is very cold.
About one week later, the day has finally arrived. My father book two tables for my whole family and my aunts,uncles and my cousins who stay in Hong Kong too.As the waiter walk to our tables, I could smell the aroma of the food. There were abalones,shark fin soup and roasted duck. My favourite part was the desert because the dish was called custard jelly skikn bun and custard was my favourite desert.I was very full after eating those delicious food but unfortunaley, I found that I was getting older. My cousin who was married had pregnant and for 7 months. I am about to become an uncle. I felt more sad for my cousin as he was only 8 years old and had to be an uncle. I am so sad to leave Hong Kong but it was a holiday that i will never forget.
