I'm also a Hong Konger but been living here in the US for quite some time now. God I miss hong kong. The food, the night life... so much reminiscence =(

[thediddy]

I Love that she couldn't do Math because she "ALMOST finished that beer" haha

[Shungabali]

thank you for documenting your quarentine in HK a city I love, by the way your Spanish is great as fas as I can see, congratulations!!

[cfagil]

Thank you for sharing your HK quarantine experience. I bet your parents were very pleased to see you. I guess Hong Kong is one of the safest places right now. I hope you are still having a great time in Hong Kong. If I have to travel back to Hong Kong to see my folks from London, I now know what to expect. That said, 3 weeks in a hotel room would be challenging. Stay safe.

[chickhabit]

This is by far one my my favorite vids from buzzfeed in a while. You’re a wonderful person to watch and would love to see more of you!

[todddanforth]

Dear Helen Lee, thank you for sharing your experience in HK hotel quarantine. You did a great job with the video!!! I'm impressed by your ability to remain so positive, at least for the most part, during this 14 day isolation. Good job!

[xlynx]

What a great positive attitude! So refreshing. HK is a special place.

[good_to_be_gold]

Just two years a go I was in HK. Glad I went without any restrictions now.

[dreamxpaili]

i'm so impressed with the way they're taking care of all the safety procedures!

[pgplaysvidya]

5:54 huh you can eat out of the kettle lol that's amazing

[ramimroueh]

I swear this made me miss Hong Kong and the food so much! I felt I was gonna drool 🤤

[taroshibuya]

Shes so bubbly, does she have her own channel?

[ohjiraporn]

I'm watching your VDO during my quarantined in a hotel in Bangkok. Just one more day to go!!

[PanicCookie]

OMG I live in Hong Kong to I was trying to to find a video that traveled to Hong Kong thanks 😊 謝謝這意味著很多

[rodrigo]

Here I am, watching a person doing a 2 weeks quarantine while I am on my 18th day of the 3 weeks quarantine that they have put in place now... luckily my hotel room is a bit better

[mexw.__]

I'm live in hong kong and my brother came back from UK. he had to quarantine and I never realised that is was so difficult for him.

[mjuarez]

Omg half of beer its all it took. Hahahaha very entertaining video, exelente trabajo con tu español

[FrilShek]

Thanks for sharing. I considered going back to HK from London for holiday, but I feel like it will be too much fuse. It's good to see those 14 days are not as horrible as I thought it would be. I am happy for you that you get home safe and sound.

[jessicam]

America could never. This is why other countries are doing so much better!

[davidng]

Cool video! You're a good woman for keeping the room clean!
