My parents come to Shanghai with me I have to spend more time to be with them.
My parents and my husband and me went to Japan for 10 days in July. Very good we have been 3 places in Japan there is many beautiful mountain view they lived in a Japanese style hotel for 2 nights in this hotel there is 2 very beautiful hot springs. it is very comfortable and feel refresh

tomorrow is the due. This homework requires to use our language which is data analysis computing language. So I didn’t use this language before I need to learn the basics informations about it so it takes about 3 to 4 days to learn the new skills and many English documents need to be reviewed. I have to coding a lot.

Im in the retail industry, our company has about 10 stores in HK and I am the person who watch the sales data everyday. In the recent 2 months the data of revenue comparing last year is about negative 30% at least so I think the HK protest affects HK’s business a lot.
I don’t think specific brands have the higher affection because the negative effect / influence Is on the whole retail industry.
Many people including HK citizens or the people who coming from mainland. Even didn’t dare to go the street for exemplary my husband’s nephew studied in HK for about 1 year, recently he graduate from the HK uni and in that days he want to come back to SH but the airport closed and they also have the negative point of view about HK economic atmosphere. He found the price of the hotel is very low, one day they lived in a hotel booking a long time ago because the price is very high so the hotel improved the type of room for him. it is a huge suite so there is not so many people living in the hotels.

I don’t know so many info but in our company we have no online channels for HK business and I heard some people say that online commercial is not very popular in HK as in mainland.
I think the problem will solved in a few months but scars remain in HK an the time will last very long.Because this very hard situation in HK many leader of companies solve the hard situation in HK which will affect their decision to invest more in this place. Last many years HK is a very convenient place to hold a meeting and economic center for the communication between mainland and South Asia but recently they feel very inconvenient to stay in this city. I heard some companies moved upcoming conferences to Singapore so I think many things will happened like this in the future and this will have a very negative affect on the HK economy.

from my point of view they are in the same situation. At the beginning we discussed this situation to our HK colleagues. everyone have their own point of view but we just discussed a little not so many political topics and I feel this HK people worked in our company for many years I treat them the same as mainland colleagues because we all speak Chinese.
we show the polite way to express but they sent us traditional Chinese we can understand because it includes more meaning than simplified so we can guess from the shape of the character.
simplified Chinese will more popular in the whole world . For example Singapore uses traditional Chinese. He is very turn to close the western culture so he decide to change the official language from Chinese to English and he also close the university who teaching the students teach Chinese. they close the university.   So young Singapore citizens they can understand Chinese but they refuse to speak Chinese and can’t write Chinese but the people older than about 40 years old they can speak and write Chinese. For many the president want to have more close to China so they recover the Chinese education and accept the simplified Chinese.

they have not enough pension to live in a comfortable life so the elder person have to earn some money so the popular way is to taxi driver.
