My day (two days ago)
Two days ago I woke up from a semi-long sleep watching a VCD I bought for $4CDN (Yeah, $4) of "The Whole Nine Yards. I bought it because it's one of 2 Hollywood movies I know of that takes place in my native Montreal. I can't recall the name of the other one- (looking it up on IMDB) here it is, The Score (2001) with Edward Norton.
The day before that I went to check out a Teaching English job at a Language Center. Sat in on a class with a group. Ended up telling them of my perspectives on Hong Kong. Recording my thoughts in a journal/e-mail updates/blog sure helped. ("And what's with all the minorities? They're everywhere! Ha!") I told them I think the Chinese food here is pretty good, and although it seems Hong Kong has everything, I can't seem to find the Chinatown! Ba-doom-boom.
So...I was supposed to go in but there was a typhoon warning and like Christmas in Canada everything was closed. I bet Christmas here is like Chinese New Year in Canada and vice versa. (Think about that.)
Meanwhile, in Canada dept.
Been keeping up-to-date with the news back home in Canada. At night I put on the CBC news National. Like everything else on the CBC, it gets me to sleep pretty fast. If I want entertainment I'll tune into CTV and if I want fiction I'll tune into CNN.
Preview dept.
I'll write a bit about the politics of Hong Kong. It's about time, eh?
Well it'll be published soon...but it's a long post.
My aunt-cousin (my mother's cousin) says the people of Hong Kong have no choice but to like the Commander-in-Chief ("Chief Executive") of Hong Kong; he's placed by Beijing and things could be worse. She says that China paid off a huge debt owed by his father. I'll have to look into this.
