So Long!

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted. As soon as I got back from Beijing I got so busy!!!

My cousin is permanently moving away from HK this weekend so I've been swamped preparing for their departure. And then I've had a busy social calendar as well. I'm really enjoying HK and am going to be SO SAD to leave!!!

I've been hiking and/or camping every weekend for the past 3 weekends with my friend Brigitte. And when we hike we end up at a beach where there's always a good restaurant and good people watching. Here's a link to my camping photos. We had the best time! Everyone was laid back and just had fun.

I'm getting used to this outdoor/active/beach lifestyle that HK offers. I had no idea there were so many cool hikes and things to do here! I thought HK was just the area where I live which is very NYC-ish.

The only bad thing about HK right now is there's a cockroach living in my bathroom and he won't leave! Although I can't blame that on HK really...this could happen anywhere. I try to hit him with my shoe and he cralls into this space where I can't reach him and then disappears. Then I'm creeped out for a day or two...forget about him...then one night I flick on the light and he's in my sink! Fucker!!!!

This is why I need a man. To kill the bugs.

I still don't have a flight to London yet for my move but it'll probably happen at the end of June. I'm just waiting to find out when all of my cousin's belongings will arrive in London since I have to be there when they get there.

I went to yoga today for the first time in at least 2 months. Felt SO GOOD! I need to look back at this post to remind myself of how good it feels the next time I get lazy.

Things I'm excited about that are happening this week:

(1) American Idol finale
(2) Indiana Jones premiere
(3) My cousin's move will be complete (on the HK end anyway)
(4) A mexican fiesta party on Saturday (hopefully I'll meet some new fun people)


I watched "The World of Suzie Wong" last night with Brigitte. It's about a prostitute who falls in love with a guy staying in the hotel where she picks up her men. It takes place in HK but in the 50's or so. It was so cool to see HK without all the skyscrapers and pollution. Beautiful!

Gotsta go to bed!
