Umbrella-ella-ella

It's raining in Hong Kong today which means that all of us Westerners risk losing an eye, ear, tooth or possibly all three by merely stepping out of our front doors. The wonderful - but short - people of this island nation are scurrying around the overcrowded streets like a pile of ants whose home has just been kicked in by an 8-year old with a magnifying glass. So that chaos combined with the fact that they're at the perfect height to smack us in the face with their rain shielding devices creates battlefield-esque conditions for anyone 5'5" and taller.

As we giants persevere - determined to make it to our respective destinations in one piece - we develop the cat-like reflexes of Muhammad Ali on speed as we're continually forced to make the split-second decision to dodge up-down-left-or-right to try and avoid the onslaught of vicious Hello Kitty's that are trying to take us down.

One false move and we’ll be asking, “Hey, have you seen my glass eye?” for the rest of our lives.

















This blinding bitch comes out of nowhere
