So I was talking to someone the other day, and realized that alot of people who read this (yeah the whole three of you) don’t actually live in Hong Kong and are quite surprised when I talk about, what I feel, are normal everyday occurrences. For example, I had this conversation back in December with a friend from Toronto:

me: Dude, there was another acid attack today
ColdSoup: Oh did you know..
ColdSoup: … wait, WHAT?
me: Yeah some guy threw acid off a roof into a crowd, again!
ColdSoup: Uhh wow. AGAIN!? I was just gonna tell you about how there was a shooting down the street from me, but … wow.
me: I miss shootings and stabbings. It sure is a whole lot less scary sounding.

So my point is, I’ll try to talk more about the randomness I see here in Hong Kong. Now I know… Hong Kong is not like Japan or Korea where they got some crazy stuff happening every other day, but Hong Kong can be interesting too!! I was down in Causeway Bay yesterday when I saw these huge crowds under this bridge so I went to check it out. Apparently it was a special day for something I only know how to say in Chinese. Its a form of voodoo I guess, and what happens is you write a name on this paper and then the lady will smack it to oblivion with a slipper, set it on fire and … yeah. Kind of crazy if you ask me, but hey, I don’t judge.

Down the street from the bridge, I was in this alleyway market and got stuck there for about 15 minutes because infront of me was this lion dance, and behind me a crowd had formed to watch.

Oh and I got an R2D2 bag from UNIQLO! Their clothes maybe as plain as vanilla ice cream, but I love their paper bags!! And I actually, I <3 clothes from UNIQLO …

And huzzah! for Big Bang Theory season 1 was on sale at HMV. Couldn’t resist ^__^y
