Next door to our school is a local Chinese school. We have to walk past to it in order to get to our train station.For the past month, some student artwork by a second grade class has been hanging in one of the windows. The artwork faces inward, so we pedestrians walking by see the students' name and class section on the back of the artwork. Apparently there are two Annikas living in our little corner of Hong Kong.
Most people in Hong Kong have a Chinese first name that they use on official paperwork and a western-inspired first name that they use on a day-to-day basis. That's how you end up with local Chinese girl called Annika Wu.
In my class, I have Hammond Tong, Florence Lau, Queenie Hon, Hazel Chan, CoCo Tin, Peony Tan, Desmond Wong, and Vaughan Lo.
