Well I'm heading home to the US tomorrow night, only have 1 day left...flight leaves @ 11pm. I'm ready to have a rest; if only for 10days. I've had very little time to myself; even my weekends...either I'm being bothered with issues in the US or I'm being taken someplace. Days start at 9am and finish at 10pm...It's jut been tiring...
These past few days in Kowloon/HK Island have also been tiring, more people then I'm used to...as compared with Shatin/Sheung Shui. During the work week everyone is moving swiftly, come the weekend and people move a leisurely crawl...to the point I'm ready to run them over or strangle them. I'm 6'4" so I do have a longer gait, but can't people just walk a little quicker. Plus when it's raining, no one pays attention to their umbrella, so I'm having to keep my head ducked to prevent having my eyes poked out.
A few days ago in Shenzhen, I did have a happy moment. The people in mainland, more so then in HK, bump into everyone whilst walking. So I chose to hold my ground on one such A$$ and well he nearly fell down. I know what I did was rude, but he was bumping into elderly people and making them quite angry...so I did take some joy out of making him wake up.
The picture to the right is the soles of my shoes, in 5 weeks walking I've killed these shoes. . you can see in the middle what the sole used to be like, now the front/rear are smooth and useless for walking on wet granite sidewalks. So they've been trashed; need to get some new Merrells before I head back; great walking shoes, waterproof, and very comfortable.
