Christmas Thoughts

tis the season!  hong kong has all of its tacky christmas decorations up and my little city has started to empty out of people.  i like it when cities free themselves of their inhabitants.  i used to love it when manhattan emptied out.  however, here in hong kong, much like the tourists from the midwest, it doesnt stop the mainlanders from coming in, shouting loudly, pushing, shoving and hawking on the groud.  lovely.  merry freaking christmas to you, too.

the good news is that i havent been too crazy this year on the drinking front so much so, i almost feel like an adult...but not TOO much like an adult, so dont you worry your pretty little head.  i have, however, replaced it with copious amounts of food and i feel my little belly growing at a steady pace.  hopefully she won't be here for too long.

of the highlights of this holiday season has been seeing the main partner i work with sing and play the...wait for it...waaaaiiit...the keyboard in his band.  it was fun, actually.  and he was good, actually.  i envision the rest of his bandmates are all successful businessmen as well, like, the head of risk at some bank and the founder of a private equity firm, or something of that ilk.  there is a picture of the band below.

other than that, the boys mum arrived on friday night from london and weve been entertaining since.  she is quite funny and its been nice to have her here.  this weekend we went to stanley market where the weather was so fine i wore a tank top!  ive lined up high tea for the two of us, a show in macau for all four of us (including little bro) and of course, christmas dinners and new years eve.  now all i need is my little brother to pop along!

happy christmas loves!
