Well I've been here for 2 months now, and even if I can't get into the Karaoke scene, I think this trip is having a permanent cultural impact...in fact, I've started to list the effects in a posting called...
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A HONG KONGER WHEN...
10.) You change your shirt to match your flip-flops.
9.) You carry a pocket umbrella wherever you go.
8.) Your American friends ask you to translate all Asian characters (even if it's not Chinese, which you can't read anyway).
7.) To get anywhere, you consider whether to take the MTR, KCR, Bus, Minibus, Tram, Taxi, Ferry, Tunnel, or just walk.
6.) You consider 90F and 80% humidity a nice, cool day.
5.) You drink sake like the Japanese meant you to drink it - toss it back like a shot!
4.) You wear your cell phone on a cord around your neck.
3.) You link your Octopus card to your bank account.
2.) You request extra sea urchin with your sashimi salad.
1.) You tell the cab driver "Haa-baa See-tee" because you know it will get you to Harbor City faster.

Ok, I know the one about translation was directed at me, I apologize! This post really made me laugh - except for the part that made me feel like a moron - but I am sure you were going more for the laughter, so there you go. Speaking of those annoying friends, how's my flag translation coming? :)
Love, Jess
