Hi everyone, I am the Phoebe who mentioned by Tiana before.
Working with Tiana and Natalie makes me feel like I am a Hong Kong people who never go to UK to study, because Tiana is not familiar in reading Cantonese and Natalie looks like foreigner XD
But the only problem is everyone will get confused about which one of us can read Cantonese, and therefore they will ask this question every time "You know how to read Cantonese right?"
Let talk about some interesting moments during my internship.
It is so lucky that I have chance to see dolphin sky-hopping at the second day of my internship and it seems like looking straight into my eyes. During that time, I was searching for dolphins and suddenly one of the dolphins sky-hopping and I feel so exciting because I never see that so close by my own eyes, I become speechless at that moment. After that, Vincent and Heyman said that I was the only one have eye contact with the dolphins, then I realized I forgot to say hi to the dolphin, if I do so maybe it will remember me and come over every time I go there. (Day-dreaming ><)
Oh yes, another interesting moment is to listen every single word when others are gossiping quietly, you will get lots of information about everyone including eating habit (some of them like to eat a lot, basically everything while some do not like to eat vegetable XPP) or relationship between different people (so you can laugh or involve when they are gossiping about one particular person)
It is so happy for me to get involve into this big family and just forgive me for not speaking sometimes, this funny working environment makes me feel more comfortable and looking forward to the following months.
Let's fight together for dolphins in the coming month!!!

The Start of Summer!
I’m Tiana, one of the current summer
interns along with Phoebe and Natalie. Though I study in the states I’ve grown
up in Hong Kong. Samuel keeps saying that I am practically a “gui mui”
(foreigner) but I’m really from Hong Kong! My Cantonese is just a little iffy
sometimes.
My first week (plus the two days from the
week before) working with HKDCS staff have been very enlightening. It has given
me a good overview of what things are like thought I hope to soon start to be
able to be of helpful contribution. All the staff are super nice and
approachable which helped us interns adjust really quickly. Big shout out to
Yuki who I’ve been with everyday at HKDCS. Apart from always making sure to
explain things to us interns and give us advice, she was also very friendly and
would try to strike conversations with us when we were still relatively shy
during our first few days. Everyone seems to be a part of such a family and it
makes the working environment very encouraging and fun. I look forward to a
great 2 months with everyone!
