Being in Hong Kong
Um, 80% of my pictures are about drinking and eating... Maybe I should seriously thinking about getting a new camera. My new boss from Sydney, Taro-san is obviously not giving him any break.

Hong Kong amazes me in may ways. People live in a way not like Japanese or Westerners, they bravely and courageously show their true selves. Not trying to cover up being a Chinese, for example. Not trying to be "White". Funny thing is that I think this is one of the few places where girls do not prefer western guys (belive me you see many of those in Tokyo or Taipei). I guess the reason is complex, Hong Kong has been a British colony for almost hundred of years, long history of communication with English speaking world. Nothing is really too fancy in Hong Kong girls' eyes. They are also very practical, these English official or expats hang around in the maid serviced high-end apartment all because they are expats. When they return home, the living standard is very questionable. What's so cool to marry a foreigner and move away from the convenient, exciting and volatile Hong Kong? Find a rich local guy is their first priority. One thing I cannot understand is that Hong Kong ladies are trendy and very fashionable before certain age. But after that threshold, their taste or fashion sense are just like some wire snapping. Seeing many middle age ladies wearing tights (ok, tights that you cannot see thru, but they are still tights) walking on the streets as if that's just normal casual dress. I almost want to shake them into their sense, tights are called tights because they are designed to be worn inside something!!!
