Summer in Hong Kong for Teen... Help?!?

Okay, so this summer (2011), my parents want me to go back to Hong Kong. I do have relatives in Hong Kong to stay with and all, but it's not like I'm staying for a week. I'm staying there for almost my whole summer vacation. I'm fourteen, by the way. :) I speak fluent English, considering English is my first language, and me being a New Yorker almost my whole life. (New Yorker at heart. :D) I do speak Cantonese. I speak enough Cantonese to find my way around. However, my biggest fear: Boredom. Is there anything for me to do there over the summer. I've considered tutoring English, but no. Most people who would pay to have there child take expensive English lessons wouldn't like it if the tutor was an Asian American fourteen-year-old. I'm too young for internship and jobs. I can't find any day summer programs. I'm not allowed to attend a residential camp. YMCA? I'm as athletic as cork. I just don't know what to do. I'm so desperate at this point. Plus, many summer programs are super costly, only adding to my cons list for summer programs. My aunt can only take me out on weekends. On weekdays, I'm not allowed to stray long distances around Hong Kong. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :(
