Weather is pretty decent. It's a bit cooler now, but it's still T-shirts and shorts climate for another month or so

Cool, I take it that you sold it for a profit?

younwun, you wouldn't have so much as a problem of communicating, as most ppl have at least a bare minimum knowledge of english these days, as ppl thinking you're arrogant for speaking english to them.
At the new place I used to work I thought the office language was english and on my second day a colleague flat out told me "don't speak to me in English, our mother tongue is Chinese". I was shocked for 2 seconds before I told her in english "well then that's just too bad for you isn't it? cause I'm not gonna change the way I speak". Anyway we get along fine now that I set my rules with ppl
But on the other hand, you'd get faster/better services if you spoke english and also they can't hold an arguement with you lol

Been away and back again for 2 months.... wrote down a long train of thought while I was on the plane the other day but it's still on my laptop, will post that later...
On another note, finally found a Zero Halliburton in HK and someone stole it out of my car after only 2 months..... only satisfaction I get is the look on the damn bastard's face when he opens up my case expecting $$$$ and only finds a camera and some docs.... on the down side, I had to reapply for my passport (pain in the ass since they tried to grill me on how it was stolen, etc and I asked them if I SOLD my passport to someone, would I have sent an email to a customs supt to be on the look out for ME?)

Anyway, here's more pics!

Charity function


mMmMm road side strawberry stands in China.... yes I'm still alive after eating them and surprisingly they're quite good

After


Airport in China

Hello Kitty lovers, eat your heart out lol
apparently they're holding a mass wedding at the HK MTR station on valentine day... hmm... how romantic..... NOT...
on their website, they posted the story of a guy who met his wife through the MTR system, but I was more creeped out by the fact that he STALKED her by waiting for her at the MTR everyday in order to get a chance to talk to her.....


Political ad in HK


Canadian consulate... can't take pictures outside


Canadian international school


Lawn mowing in HK... POWERED BY HONDA! lol =p


The water fall lined entrance to the building of the Canadian consulate in HK.... tax dollars well spent... lol

I must admit, even though the longest I can stay in HK is like a week (before getting super homesick), seeing all these pics are making me wanna go back again! Too bad the plane ride takes too damn long...
