so... it's been 11 days since i last blogged.

it's a start.  at least it's not a month or a year.

so far, nothing crazy has happened other than my friends and i have gone for sushi.  if mother found out, she definitely will be disappointed.  there have been protocols forbidding restaurants from importing food that may create a potential risk - not sure about the sanctions tho...  look for the safety sticker on veggies and other products!

there's something that does bother me however... imagine someone wearing dishwasher gloves to mop the floor, dust the apartment, clean your toilet and then later folding your clothes and making your bed wearing the EXACT SAME gloves.  i thought it was just purely common sense to keep one pair of gloves for absolute use in cleaning the floor and toilet.  use other gloves for other places?!?!

i don't know how to tell the helper it's unsanitary and hella disgusting...  so i've just told her not to touch my stuff period.  really, i'd much rather clean my own room.

the first step

yet once again, i have abandoned this blog. for some unknown reason, i'm very good at abandoning blogs. so under tumultuous stress, i've decided to pick it blogging once again. i'll treat this as an outlet for stress relief or potential anger management control.

hong kong is probably as foreign to me as it might be to everyone else who finds it foreign. huh. and you just stopped and said what did she say? well, the only difference may be that i am of chinese ethnic background. hailing from north america, i was raised in a cultural mosaic/melting pot. for some odd reason, the chinese people from north america - even those who have lived there for a long time - are slightly different from those in asia. i'm not trying to raise a potentially controversial remark here - other than what i observe.

ironic as it may be, being able to speak the language, i still stick out like a sore thumb. i've been told it's my face and my accent - though i don't think my accent would sell me out, it has to locals.

so here's a blog to discovering myself while in a foreign city, hong kong - asia's concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
