i spent most of today in causeway bay just walking around and looking for awesome shit. the proverbial games may now begin as I bought my first pair of sneakers at the new nike sportswear store in times square.
not to be confused with times square in ny; it's an area/mall that has 2 nike stores in it. if you want to know what i'm talking about, check out the new nsw store @ 21 mercer st it has some of the same stuff. i had seen these online but can't remember if they had them in the soho location. fuck it, these are gonna look good with everything. they're grey and have velcro like the aarp recommends and have rubber soles. butterdrums.
i went to look at a studio apartment today near the aforementioned times square. i was greeted by a white guy named david who was somewhat polish and couldn't understand how my family has polish roots but i wasn't fluent in the language. i said i knew the word "shvitz" and he didn't even laugh. i was expecting an asian guy given we're in hong kong and i'm looking at apartments but hey whatever's good. this "studio" was not the advertised 130 sq ft. it was a room the size of a double bed + 9 square feet. the bathroom was also in the room (great feature!) except the shower wasn't separated from the room with the toilet in it. the showerhead was literally above the toilet. i guess the drain on the floor of this room is good for both the shower and any potential toilet floods that may occur. needless to say, i happily passed on this location. i'm going to look at a few more tomorrow. i'm starting to think sharing an apartment with someone else may allow me to have a reasonable amount of space vs just a studio. tomorrow's space sounds promising though so we'll see how it goes.
i've seen all kinds of shirts on guys here since i've arrived. the nite i got here i met a friend for dinner and saw a local guy wearing a shirt that just said BALLS. my friend didn't understand why i thought it was so funny. i said "what if there was a shirt that just said DICKS?" she thought that was funnier. watch out causal 6, for all you know i'm gonna get into the t shirt design business. "draft beer not soldiers" was today's favorite, which ironically was on the same block as the BALLS shirt. maybe that's just sweet t-shirt row over there. now i know where to hang out.
tonight i'm trying to re-visit this bar i went to twice last time i was here. x bar. i think theres a facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=565839351&ref=frmf#/group.php?gid=5523625747&ref=mf). make sure you quote "eric" for that special discount.

I need a "BALLS" t-shirt. Get one for me, esp now that the $ is worth more - should have a good exchange rate.
I really hope you're kidding about the sneaks - H.S., you'll look like the Caucasian version of Urkel, knowing the rest of your wardrobe to go with!

Remember that you're not too cooth with the women. If the local women like you, they are probably prostitutes. If they come back with you to your place, your liver is probably safe given the damage you have done to it - your kidneys are another story altogether.
Oh, and don't drink the water unless it has been boiled. The Brits thought tea was medicinal - schmucks - they didn't get sick because the water used to make tea was boiled - had nothing to do with the leaves. Same goes for ice - NO ICE - freezing water doesn't kill the bacteria, and your ass WILL fall off if you get that kind of bacteria. Promise.
