"My Day out in Hong Kong with Shawn Mendes" by Sherina Mahtani
We asked our readers to write an essay titled "My Day out with Shawn Mendes". Here is one of the entries. It has not been edited.
Cooking in Hong Kong would be a terrific different adventure for Shawn. I would take him to the ABC cooking school and to City Super cooking school in Tsim Sha Tsui. Shawn can learn to cook a variety of diverse dishes, symbolising Hong Kong’s diversity. Afterwards, I would treat him to his indulgence:- chocolate desserts at the award winning Restaurant Atelier de Joel Robuchon. I am sure Shawn will be so giddy with envy and would feel he is free falling to Chocolate heaven.
Hong Kong being such a gorgeous city and blessed with the most beautiful skyline in the entire world, Shawn will see the modern Hong Kong on an evening cruise on the Star Ferry to appreciate the beauty of the Victoria Harbour and be impressed by all the lasers, search lights, skylights and sometimes fireworks of the Symphony of the Lights, the multi media show, involving more than 40 buildings on both sides of the harbours which I will show him from the vantage of the Avenue of the Stars. Maybe just maybe, Hong Kong can help inspire Shawn to creating some original HK style lighting in his upcoming show, that is totally wicked, rad and breathtaking!
