Hong Kong is crazy!

Hong Kong is crazy , i love it! the flight was all good, went by pretty fast. the plane was filled at like half its capacity so i had room to stretch out. we all had individual tv's and a choice of 10 movie channels, like 20 radio stations (they had an urban and latin station so i was set) and 15 video games. good thing the kid beside me didn't speak english cause and couldn't complain about me cause i was cussin at the the dang thing every time i lost a game and singing along to the tunes. only slept 4 hrs on the flight but it was all good.
lucys's house is half way up this mountain on hong kong island. below her are all poshy condos which are more like all inclusive hotels, above her house is the famed Victoria Peak. downtown is a 5 minute walk away. its mad busy here but i like the energy of it. i feel like andre the giant here, i get funky looks here and there but nuffin crazy. fanny's boyfriend is chinese-colombian so when we exchanged a few words in spanish people were kind of shocked, lol a chinese guy and a polish girl speaking spanish in hong kong lol. anyways, i woke up this morning and left my room, when i came back a strange woman was making my bed. little did i know that lucy has a live in maid here. anyways, she cooks and cleans and i gotta do nothing all day. tomorrow lucy's sister's maids are coming over to cook me curry chicken, dang right, i got it made, soooooo good to be nat =)
today i had lunch at a traditional chinese restaurant, we were sititng in these crazy long benches chuck e. cheese style. my chopstick skills earned me soup stains all over my jacket. the central district, which is a 5 minute walk from lucy's crib, is packed with a ton of things, a complete shock to the senses. they got international cuisine from all over the place in case i decide to give up the dang chopsticks. the central district has these crazy escalators out in the open. they carry the commuters up and down the moutain through the district. they run down until 10 am and then up for the rest of the day. they stop every here and there so you can access different levels and streets of the district. people don't drive a lot here but when they do its noice cars. all i have seen in polished up black and red bmws and mercedes. they drive on the left side of the road, i keep thinking we're driving into oncoming traffic and i forget that i have to look right not left when crossing the street. checked out some markets today too, had to buy grub for din din and went to check out some chinese silks and tings. went to a couple of buddhist temples, they burn incense there like its going out of style and you can buy origami like offerings to burn for the buddha. public transport system here is mad fast. you buy this octapus card thats accepted on subways, busses, ferries and trams and just swipe as you go in and out of stations. toronto subways are crawling compared to the ones here and you can't get lost cause everything is digitized and tells you where you are at all times and how to get where you are going. we took the ferry across the harbour to the kowloon hood and checked out the avenue of stars (its like the hollywood walk of fame gone chinese). the downtown kowlooon area is so freakin lit up my eyeballs were hurting. it was night time but you couldn't even tell cause it was so damn lit up and bright, the lights and advertisments are nuts and the buildings are like nothing i;ve seen before. they're all massive and high tech and lit up like a christmas tree. the city is disgustingly clean, everything is polished and i have not seen a single piece of garbage on the floor. most people here speak some form of english so language barries are virtually non existent, all signs are posted in cantonese as well as english. there's actually a considerable amount of westerners here, i thought i was gonna be the only white kid on the block. all in all its all good here. its very safe and i can wonder all i want. i think i am off to beijing on saturday for 5 days, went to the travel agency today but like the amensiad dumb ass i am i left my credit card here so i gotta go back tomorrow to book everything.
oh yeah, for all you hectors freezing your asses off right now, its 20 C here =)
aight, imma eat dim sum til i get the itis and pass out.
