saturday night i went out with a colleague to a "proper dress party" with a a theme of "heros and villains". i went as bananaman (and it needs to be said with british accent since, as i am told, it was an old british cartoon of a boy named eric who eats a banana and turns into a superhero) in a yellow dress. it was pouring on saturday and i had no desire to trek the streets of hk looking for costume kit so this was the resolution we came to. we hit up a couple of "white bars" called heat and mes amis both in the wanchai district. and no, heat is not a gay club although i did tell my colleague it certainly sounded that way. anyway, it was good fun and i got completely zonked. i also met loads of nice brits but was told time and time again that i should lose my "american twang". oh well, whatcha gonna do?
on sunday, with a complete hangover, i left the hotel with all 200 lbs. of luggage and went to the company flat. it is much better as it is a hop skip and a jump from the office but my room is beyond tiny and it smells of cigarette smoke despite the fact that it is a smoke free apartment. i should be there for a couple of months so at least that feels a bit more settled than being in a hotel. to date, there are 2 girls there, one whom is quite spunky but leaving tomorrow and the other who tends to keep to herself and i believe she is leaving mid-july. hmmmm, wouldn't it be nice to have it all to myself and then i can have proper naked time...
