Returning Hong Kong to the Kongers

1-22-06

Today, I only like my Strong Ties. Strong ties are the people that are in your inner circle according to my Societal Networks on Business prof. Yes, this is the quality education I am currently receiving. I digress.

After a failed trip to the Visa office to get our China Visas, my ST’s (Meg and Kevin) and I walked to Victoria Park for the New Year’s Market. It was closed. That doesn’t mean the park was empty though. 10,557 Philippine women filled the park and 7,984,826,221 people filled the rest of Hong Kong Island. Similar to the British in 1997, I officially decided to return Hong Kong Island to the people of China on Sundays for the rest of my stay. Kongers work every day except for Sunday and they take over the city on that day. They are not warm and friendly as I initially thought. Not on a Sunday in HKI. They can have it. My ST’s and I are hanging out at the Horizon Suites on Sundays from now on.

Sorry... no fun pictures today, so I threw up a typical grocery store scene.

Today’s Food – Pizza Hut Pepperoni Pizza. Thank God for international quality standards. Sorry to disappoint, but surviving was today’s sole adventure.
