I vaguely remember a trip to Hong Kong... visiting from mainland China.
Like I remember the double decker bus... the 輕鐵, 纜車...
I remember a Hotel Room and it need some keycard thing to unlock the door and you need the keycard placed in the... idk what you call it... like a slot you leave the keycard in order for the electricity to work, I guess they want to save electricity, since you need to the keycard to get back in. I remember a bunch of relatives being there but its all a blur.
Idk when the trip happened honestly, but saw some photos in a photo album and the date printed is something like 2005 (I think?, I kinda doubt my memories of looking at the photos), and I was born in 2002, so my earliest memories is about 3 years old I guess...
I vaguely remember kindergarden, remember having naps there...
1st 2nd grade slightly more to remember... but its still blurry.
Remember one time going to McDonalds...
Sometimes visiting parents villages
Some memories at the store/supermarket
The mall area
Exploring the mountains with dad
Honestly every memory before arriving in the US is all a blur, its like a past life.
Well I have a traumatic memory at around age 6 when I was in China... I commented that a lot here you can search through post history, but basically my older brother chased me around the apartment so I ran out the apartment and out the building... idk what exactly I was thinking at the time but probably something like home scary so I ended up going to my mom's workplace only to find here not there, when I got home, there was a bunch of cops looking for me since I was reported missing.
...
Anyways my most vibrant memories are of NYC, its merely like 3-4 years and those were my happiest and most interesting memories.
I felt like my life really began in NYC at 8 years old...
Perhaps that traumatic incident made it hard to remember China
Edit: I still remember the layout of the apartment I used to live in...
