Today, my parents took me on a plane ride for a vacation in Hong Kong. What they didn't tell me was that the "vacation" is extended for three years. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, I was awakened by knocking on my door, only to find my parents standing there. Turns out, they booked two one-way tickets to visit me from another country. Their plan? I should scrap my upcoming 2-week vacation to hang out because they invested in this trip. Oh, and they didn't book a hotel. I'm 31. FML
Today, my parents tricked me by claiming we were going on holiday, but stopped at grandma"s first, "just to say hi", then left me there with my bags. They dumped me with grandma and went on holiday without me. FML
Today, I was denied entry into Hong Kong after flying here from Canada and paying thousands of uncancellable dollars for quarantine hotel and other plans, because the immigration company fucked up. FML
Today, I found out that my mother in-law's flight home is canceled, and that she's staying three more days. FML
Today, I found out that my family has paid for and booked a trip to Dubai without me. They weren't going to tell me until they were about to board but since I was crying that my friend ditched me for my holiday, they thought they would let me know. FML
Today, I told my mom about how my friend is going to China for a year instead of college. My mom suggested that I could do the same. When I told her that a trip to China is probably more expensive than my college tuition, my mom replied, "Not for a one way ticket". FML
Today, I flew my wife, myself and three kids to pay a surprise visit to my parents who were going to be alone for Christmas. When we arrived, we found out they decided to go on vacation. We have nowhere to go. FML
Today, my family returned from a holiday in Egypt. A holiday that I really wanted to spend with them. As if leaving me behind wasn't bad enough, they then made me watch a 200-picture slideshow of how much fun they had. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. FML
Today, I woke up excited for my trip to Jamaica with my friends. We went to the airport, and I gave them my passport to check in. They gave it back. It had expired three weeks ago. I watched my friends board the plane while I'm stuck in the city. FML

Thank-you. Most of them understand English too, but you'd have to speak really slowly and if they speak it it's a little fobbish..

Not necessarily. A lot of people there speak workable English.

Hong Kong is quite different to China, it has access to youtube and google and other sites like that. There are also a lot of European people left over from the time Hong Kong belonged to the UK. There are also a ton of international schools which don't speak or teach Chinese but only speak English so those kids know English pretty well. So basically, you can live in HK speaking English.

I don't understand how OP was unable to notice that they packed three years of clothes for a "vacation"
Yarrachel 16
Maybe they didn't pack that much. They may return to get more stuff or get new stuff in Hong Kong.

...there is no such language as Chinese... He would need to know Cantonese.
TheRealPeter 6
^He's correct. Chinese is a bunch of Asian languages, No one actually speaks "Chinese"
juicedboi 7
But it's not only canto, there are many dialects. Canto and mandarin being the common. Along with shaolin and many others. Either way it's going to be difficult to learn without prior knowledge of the language.

luckily china has laundry machines ;)

47. most people don't have 3 years worth of clothes. he has a week or two worths like a long vacation, and he will have to wash them, if you have over 1000 pairs of clothes and can carry it in a suitcase onto an airplane, I'd be very impressed
Cereal_Is_Good 5
I don't know about you, but I don't need three years of clothing. My clothes last me about a week and a half and then I wash them. OP could have packed all their clothes thinking it was a weeklong vacation or something.

Chinese is a language. Cantonese, Mandarin, Hokkien, Wu, etc are all dialects of Chinese. The reason Chinese is considered as a language is because they all use the same writing system.

Honestly, it's not even that urgent. Everyone speaks English in Hong Kong, anyway. So he can learn as he goes . . .

106 - being that OP apparently wasn't aware of the long period of time he'd be staying in Hong Kong.. it does suck. imagine one day packing up, getting on a flight, and later being informed that wherever you landed, you'd be living for a few years. if you previously thought the trip was going to be short, I'd imagine you wouldn't have said the proper "This may be the last time I see you" goodbyes to all of the important people in your life.
