Today was an interesting one. It seems that most people in HK have never seen anyone quite like me. I made the fatal error of walking around showing my stomach. Those that know a little of me, will know that i've got a love affair with tattoos and body piercing, so today, being a warm day, some showed :)
Picture this - walking along quite happily and the women were all staring, disapprovingly, sucking air in between their teeth, shaking their heads, looking horrified and looking scared. Made me smile. The Thai girl grabbing her mate and moving her round so she could get a better look. Then there was the men. Actually turning round and coming back for a second look. Rus looked quite agitated at one point, but when I explained that I didn't care and that it was more likely they were staring because its not common place here, that he relaxed.
After relaxing a bit too much, an Indian came up to Rus and proceeded to tell him intimate details about his life, his past and about things he should avoid. He was an astrologer. The outcome is (according to the indian) that Rus is a honest, good, kind man and he'll live to 89
There I was thinking that in my 70's i'd be having an easy time of it. There's that idea out of the window.
Anyway, off for pizza now. We won't be using chop sticks xx Emma xx

ReplyDeleteIt was an extremely freaky experience!!, he wrote a load of stuff down before he even spoke to me, gave it to me to hold in my hand the whole time, then asked me a load of questions and when finished he told me to open my hand and the answers were all written down. Favourite colour, age, experiences, Partners name, other names, all 100% correct....very very weird!!
