Hong Kong 2024 Travel Log: Day 2 — Walking Through Kowloon Park

Okay, so my mom and I decided to just take a stroll through the Jordan neighbourhood after breakfast because nothing was open yet and somehow ended up walking into Kowloon Park and guess what we found?

Flamingos!

So I went out for a smoke around 4:30AM and heard a really loud growling sound. Thought it might be a fox getting ready to attack its prey. (The neighbourhood I live in has quite a number of foxes. Apparently one gave birth to nine pups last year, so they're just roaming around now. When you hear one of them attacking an animal and tearing it apart, it's... disturbing, to say the least.) Anyway, I quickly went back inside and went upstairs to my bedroom, 'cause like, growling animals in the middle of the night is gonna be a no from me, dawg. As I got ready for bed, I heard even louder growling coming from the direction of my windows (which faces the front of the house) and was wondering what the fuck it was because it sounded pretty close but I was on the second level. So I turned off the lights in the bedroom, opened the blinds, and saw this raccoon on the neighbour's roof. He totally saw me, too, and started acting all innocent and shit. DON'T EVEN GIVE ME THAT LOOK, YOU FUCKING FURRY BANDIT. I KNOW YOU'RE UP TO NO GOOD.

Went over to my friend Chelsea's this afternoon to hang out. She made us some tasty snacks.


And we played with her new four-month-old puppy, Selina, who is a rescue dog from the Dominican. She is adorable.


It was a great day.

(Doesn't this post sound like something you'd write in a diary in elementary school?)
