Autumn in Hong Kong Update

so this is a bit of a miscellaneous update as it has been a while since i wrote anything.

i am very much looking forward to being back in new york in november but hong kong has finally cooled a bit and it is nice - warm and sunny.  the funniest thing about shopping here is that they stock from the west (us and europe) and therefore the styles are all very hot.  i went into a store the other day and they had wool trousers.  i thought how that could be a messy situation here as it never really gets that cold.

so anyway, this past weekend i was on a junk and this loud mouthed english girl was going on and on about how she was to spend 3 months in new york.  she said she was looking forward to it other than the americans and their ridiculous "black people names like sheniqua - i just dont get that!"  after i spoke a bit more with her, she realised i am american and said she thought i was vietnamese...um...ok.  after telling her i was american but korean descent, "take off your sunnies" she demanded.  i did and she said, "oh, youre very beautiful."  nice save...kinda...not really.

and we had a work event to kick of the race season in hong kong.  i put down 80hkd on two horses and won 340hkd.  not too shabby of a return.  here are some pictures from that (somewhat boring) work event:
