More Shopping with Mr. Kranky

Good morning =) ... or should I say good evening ... it is about Sunday 8pm EST (Monday 9am here) ... man, I’m this trying go get over this jet lag. My body really don’t know when to sleep or to wake up ... (@_@) I slept around 2 am (yes, a lot of shop are still open) and woke up around 6am ... I cannot fall asleep, no matter what I do. Plus, I hungry at the wrong time ...

I did a lot shopping today ... bought a suit that fits me best ... I like the slim fit that they sell here as “regular.” If you like shopping cheap stuff or bargaining, this is the place to be.

Several unique things in HK that are not like the states...

1) You do not throw away your garbage after eating a McDonald ... I was told that you get yelled at if you try to talk away they “job”. Oh ... McD unique dish ... “rice”-tastic (say it in Cantonese) ... which is a sandwich with sticky rice as buns ... hehe. Or you can have the pepper sauces 2x patter burger – spicy.

2) People are always in a rush ... stick to the right side on the escalator if you are “slow mo” ... like me =P ... or else you get run over.

3) Subway platform has glass wall/doors to prevent you from falling (or pushed) on to the tracks. All the subway cars are interconnected with each other to form a long tube (yes, you can walk from one end of the train to another without opening a single door.)

4) Joe and Vivi keep pointing out gals that look like guys ... I think they are guys.

Btw ... I was “Mr. Kranky” ... cranky at the beginning and the end of the day ... the lack of sleep, overwhelming atmosphere and with Joe bugging me every so often ... man, I’m really showing the bad side of my nature ... I keep praying to God to allow me to have some peace ... but Joe pushes my buttons ... the “do not touch” button =P and I get all nutty on him every times I tell him to stop and he would not ... he does not know the meaning of the word “NO!!!”. =(

He has not changed since I meet him ... same exact thing in the past ... but this time, the guys are not here to distract him and I’m his main focus ... haha ... you can say he is the only friend that can drive me this crazy ... he is definitely a unique friend. I wish I can keep a lighter mood ... actually, this is as serious and stress out as I can get ... lol ... and I’m on vacation =P ... with God’s help, I will do better ... happier and relax. I can be that happy person ... just watch ... I pop a 180 on Joe and get rid of this old grouchy self.

Oh ... I did not take any pics yet ... to afraid to put myself as target as a “tourist” in the market area ... too many stories about pick pockets and other crimes. But I will try to do some later when I get the hang of the layout of the land.

Are your friends trying to be funny or mean by calling Hong Kong girls ugly? Yes, some are not the best looking girls but,they couldn't be so ugly that they are mistaken for guys.
