Welcome Back Ricky

Since I have this new web design class, I've been a bit worried. I've made a couple of web sites in my time, but it hasn't been my primary job. Also since this web design class is taught completely in Chinese, I really need to think about what I will teach. I made an arrangement to meet up with Raymond today over in Sham Shui Po. He meets many students in his class and one of them works at a computer store. He hooked me up with some discounted prices for a pair of Microlab USB powered speakers ($40 HKD) and a generic USB 2.0 4 port active hub ($85 HKD).

We sat in McDonalds talking over how he deals with the class and then headed back to SME to help him with one of his work assignments. He needed Adobe Illustrator so I managed to pull a copy off of easynews (thanks Arthur). Too bad SME education has a screwed up admin setup for their computers so we couldn't even install it. I guess they are all students just learning but they should really get the setup right.

We met up right afterwards with Ricky, his girl friend Carol, Raymond's girl friend Connie, and another waterlooer Heidi. We went out for drinks at a place called M1 where we met up with a few other people. M1 was pretty nice, we got a promotional lighter that looked like a gel cap (pill). I took a picture, I think I'll ask Kevin later if he produces these things. We went out afterwards to eat hotpot. A good portion of the night was spent laughing at my Chinese. This is typically the case but is okay since it brings joy and happiness to the group. I pointed out a cockroach on the street to Heidi and she freaked out, almost pushing me onto the street infront of a taxi. Mental note, if a girl doesn't see a cockroach walking towards her, don't point it out.
