Clubbing x2

As the WTO is nearing the end some violence has errupted in Hong Kong. I met a guy tonight who owns a store in the area where all the action was. It sounded pretty interesting. It was a long day, I was tired already from clubbing the previous night and I didn't think of anything to teach for my webdesign class so I researched some tutorials while I was eating lunch. I broke the news to the students that this will be my last class. I don't know how they took it really. Yeah I don't like teaching webdesign, I demand nothing but perfection and these students weren't living up to my expectations. Granted I should've given them more practical work instead of teaching so much theory.

During my break I ran out to McDonalds to meet up with Raymond, Connie, and John Yuen! I haven't seen him in ages. He also came back to HK to prepare for his wedding! So Mike Yam is in town, and so is John Yuen all shopping for wedding dresses. Well, obviously they're not shopping for the dress. He hasn't changed a bit. Neither have I apparently though that is pretty interesting considering my acceptance in Hong Kong.

Tomorrow is my first nature hike in Hong Kong. I promised Ada I would meet her at 9am sharp. I got home all ready to go to sleep and decided to call Priscilla to see how her ball was going. Because the protestors had caused so many problems and delays on the Hong Kong side everything was way behind for her. She didn't seem to want to wake up early the next day to go hiking either. I thought it would be cool to call out Natsu. Gloria seemed to get along well with her and I know from experience and from my international friends that when you're in a new country it really helps to have locals call you out. You don't feel inclined to invite yourself to other people's events so making friends is kind of hard. The language barrier is a big issue for Natsu from what I see, Hong Kong isn't exactly the strongest place for English or Japanese. Since I had to wake up early to go hiking I got ready for bed. That's when temptation called. Well more specifically "messaged" on MSN. "Wanna come to Volar tonight? I think we have space on the guest list". Yup, that was Tiff over at Tina's place. Based on previous experiences I can pretty much guess I'm not getting out until after 4. But, you only live once and my clubbing nights are always fun. Besides Tiffany pressured me into going. I even got a call from a local HK friend, whom I haven't spoke to in a while, and was specifically warned not to go over to the Hong Kong side. Aside from lots of police and "Uniformity Officers" I really didn't see anything else.

Volar was only okay, Met up with Terrance again inside and was introduced to a few more people. I'm starting to get to know people in the clubbing scene. Which may or may not be a good sign. We stayed at Volar for a bit then headed over to Hei Hei again. I'll throw in a little something for De. The girls headed to the bar to get drinks and left me standing there by myself. The next thing I know some guy comes over and starts trying to chat with me. Seriously all I can do is pick up guys here. I ran into someone whom I never though I would really run into in HK. Clark. Wow I haven't seen that guy for years, we didn't exactly part ways on a good note. I thought I saw him at Hei Hei once before but surprisingly he dresses so casual I just thought he was one of the other youngsters. Oh well, these days I'm pretty happy with what's going on in Hong Kong. I get a long with clubbing and dancing (sans alcohol) as long as my good friends are around. Priscilla and I were talking about how we miss clubbing with the Toronto group. You should call come visit.
