• Hong Kong for a Breather

  I went to Hong Kong to attend a friend's wedding this weekend, and let me tell you how great it is to get out of China for a breath of civilized air. Yes, no more elbowing in line, no more screaming at taxi drivers, no more dodging random bikes. Hong Kong is fast paced and very organized and very civil.

  Congratulations to Andy and Polly who tied the knot this April 22, 2006. Their website: http://www.andynpolly.com/

  Yes, Hong Kong is busy, and the thing is that things are much more predictable there. So no, the car to the left won't veer onto your lane unexpectedly because the driver will have the courtesy to signal. And no, you won't have to jump away from spit because people generally don't spit all over the place in HK (unless you're a tourist from China - sheyit).

  My cousin's kid, Ryan, is arguably the cutest kid on this planet right now.  I know.  Runs in the family

  

  I don't think I've ever spoilt a kid before, but this one is a perfect excuse to do so. I bought him a toy car at Toys 'R' Us, it was only 20 bucks!

  

  I don't know if you care or not, but Robin Gibbs of the Bee Gees is coming to sing in Shanghai.  Concert is May 15, 2006.  No, it's not a joke, and even if it were, I didn't start it. Tee hee!
