Hello my name is Niels and I’m 13. I was born in Paris and lived there for 8 years. I’ve been in Hong Kong for 5 years. I personally prefer Hong Kong because there is a lot more freedom. My dad is Taiwanese and my mom is French so I’m half Taiwanese and half French. My hobbies are listening and playing music because I play guitar. I also play rugby two times a week. I have two sisters (one big and one small) and one small brother. My small sister and brother are twins.
Hey guys, my name is Maud I’m 13. I’m sooo excited about the fact that I’m going to India and about the fact that I’m going to meet you all. I’m extremely tall and I love having a good laugh ! I really love reading action books. I also love dogs (I have one, he’s so cute) and horses, actually I love horse riding too. I’ve been living in Hong Kong for a little more than a year and I’m getting used to it. Before I lived in London for 7 years.

Hello, my name is Quentin, I am French and I lived all my life in Asia. I turned 13 this summer while I was in France near Bordeaux in a place called Lacanau-Ocean for surfing. I have a lot of hobbies like surfing, wakeboarding and body boarding. In fact, I love sports when you’re in the water! I have a brother who’s 15 years old and he’s sometimes really annoying with me and so am I! I also like viewing my Facebook and play computer games and Xbox but I’m not a No-Life! I also love to hang out with my friends in Stanley at night… I arrived in Hong Kong when I was 11 years old but I’ve also lived in Hong Kong when I was 5 and 6 years old, I don’t really remember these times… That’s all!

To the people IN India.
Hi, my name is Thomas. I’m 12 years old and I’ve been living in Hong Kong for 5 years now, I think it’s amazing. I really wish I could meet all of you, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to come to such a fantastic place. My favorite hobby is surfing, I’ve been doing it for a long time and I really enjoy it. Other than that I play rugby, it’s a lot of fun. And when I’m at home, I play guitar, both acoustic and electric. I’m half French, and half Danish. I can speak French, English, Danish and a bit of Chinese.

Hello fellow students,
I am addressed as Margaux, and I am aged thirteen. I love ballet, and I practice 4 hours a week, but I would prefer to do 2 hours a day. The only problem is that school is in the way, so I can’t. Anyways, I used to have boring Sundays, because I would go to my brother’s rugby training, and do pretty much nothing. So I decided to start rugby, and it became a passion for me, but I still prefer ballet. I know, ballet and rugby don’t match, so what, I like them both! I also enjoy reading and going out with my friends (shopping, eating…). My father is English, and my mother is French. I have three brothers: one is 16, the other is 15, and the youngest is 12. I was born in Hong-Kong so I am local not an expat and I think I will still be here for quite a long time.
Greetings people of planet Earth!

Who am I?
My name is Diane! I have lived in Hong Kong for my entire 13 years of youth, but I am mixed French and Chinese. I have red hair; I’m left handed and have Asian eyes, so I am a strange creation. I have an 11 year old brother who looks Asian, so people in China talk to him because they think that he can understand them, but really, he doesn’t.

Here are some questions that people ask me:

What do you like?
I like music, candy, food, computers, books and IPods. Yes, typical teenager, I know. Oh, I also like mangas.

What are you hobbies?
See above.

What do you want to be when you are older?
Well… I’ll sum it up in a few words: psychological architect with a clothing line, video game, Japanese comic series and a wide range of books.

What do you do in your free time?
Go on the Internet, write, draw, read and do forced labor like homework. Then, I write some more.

What do you think is the strangest thing about yourself?
My two copies of a recessive gene on Chromosome 16 which causes a mutation in my MC1R protein (
alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone receptor). Or, in other words, my red hair (the other way sounded much cooler though). Wait, is having voices in your head ‘strange’?

Do you like Hong Kong?
Absolutely.

What are the things you are good at?
I am good at school work, writing, drawing and observation.

What are the things you are not good at?
Faking accents. No comment.

If there was one thing you wanted to accomplish, what would it be?
Get over my fear of moths. Or invent some sort of cure for cancer.

This is my first time in Asia and it is a big change from the cold New-York! I had a dog, Ginger, a cockapoo (mix between poodle and cocker-spaniel) in New-York but I left her in France with my grandmother because of the quarantine.
My interest are hanging out with my friends, watching movies, playing with my baby sister, ect…
I have three huge fears: spiders, sharks and rollercoaster.
