I'm going to Disneyland!!!

Yep, it's true folks. I'm going to Disneyland... in Hong Kong.



Well, I just got back form 3 weeks in Canada, it was great. Now, I'm in Hong Kong with Candy and it's great. We're going to Disneyland.



I had a moment today, a very strange moment.



I was having lunch with Candy at Burger King in the Hong Kong airport and I wanted to pinch myself. I had never conceived the idea of being anywhere even remotely close to China. I was sitting, eating a burger, and talking to Candy in Chinese. Some Germans were talking with us and I had to translate, it was easy. I never believed I would speak Chinese, maybe French... not much luck. Anyways, I figured I must be dreaming, I'm in Hong Kong, speaking Chinese, with my Taiwanese girlfriend. What the hell am I doing?



Anyways, on a funny note. Candy thinks she's lost it. She's reading all the signs for the subway stations and she's completely off, she reads "Mong Koy Shing station" but in Cantonese (Hong Kong Chinese), it's "Fong Chang Chu" station, thye write the same, but read it differently. Also, people are coming up to talk to her (because she's the Chinese one of us) and yapping away in Cantonese of which she doesn't understand a word... she says that Cantonese sounds very "noisy", I told her I agree, but so did Chinese before I could speak it. So, the stuff she does know, is wrong; everyone likes to speak gibberish to her and the double dekker busses are all driving on the wrong side of the road.

Anyways, I'm at the 36 Hotel. Our room is 7 feet wide (serious) and about 12 feet long, very comfortable, and nicely done, but it's a box... a very pretty, comfortable box. It's about the size of Mom's bathroom.
