The Complicated Lives of Hong Kongers

The day was relatively uneventful except I met up with a friend afterwork who works down in Causeway Bay. I hang around with her on occasion when she's done work. I probably should have gotten some sleep for Friday but I waited until she was done work (almost 12) and went out to meet her anyways. We use to go out to eat once in a while, she told me she had a boyfriend out in Vancouver and I use to just poke fun at their relationship (a little bit). Well, she told me that night that she needed to prepare for her grandfather's funeral because he apparently passed away about 2 months ago. I don't know the details, but of course I stayed by her side while she talked about it. We went to the park afterwards because she didn't quite want to go home yet and there we kind of over stepped the friendship boundry a little.

She then revealed to me that her boyfriend actually jumped from an apartment and so is now dead (some time ago, not recently) but when she holds me I remind her of him.

Okay, that's weird ... so we talked about it and I figured it was better not to complicate my life right now, I just got into Hong Kong. Don't get me wrong, she is a playful and a good sometimes kind girl and really presses me to improve my Chinese.
