Hong Kong Day 2
Image by Danny Choo
Absolutely love walking around the city. So much goes through my mind just from being here. Reminds me a lot of when I first visited Japan. I could sit at Shibuya Hachiko crossing and watch the world go by all afternoon without getting bored. Spent an afternoon in Mong Kok having some bubble tea while watching people, trends and the way of life here. Rides on the bus looking out from the top floor have also been inspiring the next goals in life.

Bus stop

The bus stops in Macau were totally different from Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there are different lines to stand in for each bus route. Macau was a bit more like the US, where you just wait for your bus in a mass of people and tried to make your way through the mass when your bus came before it decided to take off without you. Actually, it isn’t much like the US because here there usually aren’t that many people using busses.

Because of Friendfeed, I’ve found myself using the World Clock a lot lately:
+ Hong Kong
+ London (mainly for David Bausola (zeroinfluencer)
+ Paris (mainly for Véronique Rabuteau)
+ Istanbul (for the uber large design community on Friendfeed. A great find!)

The bus ride from Shenzhen to Enping was long, like watching a freight train chug by, except it doesn’t. We had to have been on that bus for seven hours, sometimes napping, and at times, staring out our windows, looking at a world standing still. Traffic was not only a nightmare, but also a mystery, for as many instances in which we could plainly see another egregiously bad vehicular accident, that which has become commonplace, ubiquitous in Chinese travel culture, there were other inexplicable stops in movement, when all of a sudden, as though finishing a swift countdown, our speed dropped so precipitously as to let out a collective lurch, if not in body, then definitely in mind. Calvin, thankfully, in his perspicacity, in his wide-angled, unique view of things, saw beyond the myriad vehicles which lay unmoving as if rocks on a dry riverbed; view the periphery, he bade us, and when we looked to the edges of the road, indeed we witnessed the most peculiar instigator of traffic congestion in the world – men en masse pissing on the side of the road! Men taking leaks creates a domino effect; that one sees another enjoying the relief of an unburdened, easy bladder, so seductive a yoke, that the only retort to the entreaty of this blissful state is to join in with abandon, and impunity. And so soon as the last few shakes are made, back into the cars do these men go, and a few hasty minutes later, traffic flows again!

We had a week on the island, and spent a bit of time wandering around seeing it. The weather was a bit iffy, but it was a wonderful place. No cars allowed, so very peaceful, for Hong Kong!
