One Full Week

This will be my last post for my adventures in Hong Kong.  This week was full of events and I had a blast.  Tuesday, we went "boating".  Boating here is a little different.  My cousin's friend too us on her yacht where we stationed just outside the beach.  From there, we took a smaller boat to go to a beach about 40 minutes away where the water is clear and we shared the beach with only another group of people.  While I don't dig romantic walks on the beach, it was a good time.  From there, we went "wakeboarding".  Well, no one knew how to and I (if you knew me) had only the slightest clue.  However, I was a like a superstar! haha, getting up off the water at will and making my famous "jump" across the wake (I had 0 inches of air), it was awesome. Afterwards, we went back to the yacht and had dinner.  It is not everyday that you get to go on a yacht and had a whole crew serving you so it was a new/good experience.

Thursday was another normal night at LKF.  We got a table at the club which had similar rules to the clubs back in the states.  With a table, meeting people is quite easy :).  I danced like I was in a Jay-Z video (so obviously I was hammered) and got a few numbers. My friends danced as well, but they were sober.....I don't know how they do it. They asked me the same thing when I was drinking the bottle of whiskey we had to open at the table by myself.  I am also starting to wonder why I keep getting numbers wen I know I won't call them and they probably won't call me either. Especially when I am not staying here for much longer.  Maybe in Korea, getting a number will be more meaningful.  But overall, a great night, plus I made it home.

Friday, Hong Kong was hit by a typhoon 9 (10 being the strongest).  Winds were going at like 80mphs and no one had to work.  But public transportation was all shut down as well.  Luckily, we have a car and we went to my uncles house to eat and play majong (favorite pass-time, especially during a typhoon).  So I got to witnessed a typhoon while I was here.  The next day, the city was trashed with fallen trees and garbage was everywhere.  

Saturday, was a odd/expensive night.  My friends and I jokingly said we would go to Macau.  It is pretty much the Asian Las Vegas located about an hour boat ride from Hong Kong.  It is a place where girls are pretty and you lose a lot of money, which were both true in my case.  We didn't get over till 1am and didn't get back till 9am.  I don't want to go in to details but 1. I went to a club and got drunk off United States bar prices (which is considered really cheap)>  2. We went to the casino where a minimum bet was $13 dollars.  So I lost rather quickly and with great amount (Emac, this was worst than the night at Grand Casino).  The reason being I lost a great amount in probably less than 2 hours.  Where at Grand, I played for 10 hours and got a sandwhich out of it.  Here, I got 5 glasses of cheap red wine and 3 beers.  After 3 out of 4 of us lost all our money, it was 5:30am and my cousin took me to a place much like the place in Rush Hour 2.  It was very un-characteristic of me but I was hammered (that was my excuse).  It was also very expensive.  Macau was fun but at a very high cost (much like Vegas).  I think I plan on going back on Monday, haha, with my two cousins.  I think it will be a good time again but I think I might just stay away from the tables.  

It is now Sunday and it is a day of recovery and rest.  I had 3 hours of sleep before my aunts came to my house and woke me up from my rest.  It is time to go celebrate my cousin's son's birthday I guess.....again it is 3 o'clock (PM) and I wanna go to bed.  If anything crazy happens Monday, I will be sure to let you know.  But Korea is coming on Wednesday!
