International

Financial

Center.

The first day's I came to HK, the IFC was one of the first buildings I visited. My mom told me it would be like a famous mall in Seoul, Korea. WRONG! It was cleaner, bigger, straighter, and quieter. I was shocked, I thought "Is this actually what a mall looks like?" My mom told me "Lotte is suitable for younger children, this place is more business." Just then, I saw a American family walk by with a young child my age, staring at me as if I were an alien. I stared back angrily. He turned away. I backed away but my mom was gone. I was lost. I went looking as fast as I could for an information stand. I found one. But I found a stand, and spoke Korean. Then I remembered, this was Hong Kong. I said very simply "I lost." Luckily, Hong Kong was populated with Koreans, and it also happened a Korean lady was walking past. She immediatley took action. In english, she said "I speak korean, please let me use the microphone." I told the lady my mother's name. I thanked her and just as she left, my mom came. She said "Where were you?" I told her "I was here, and a lady helped me." I never saw that lady again.
