I started this blog for when I was teaching in China. Then I moved to Hong Kong and taught second grade for five years. After seven years in Asia, it was time for me to return to my country. These are my adventures of living, working and repatriating myself.

Meeting a Stranger at the Ritz
So today after work I went to the Ritz for a nice afternoon tea. I enjoy the ambiance and the live music. The musicians know me and they were like you're late today. I worked later than usual....Anyways as I was leaving, I struck up a conversation with an American in the elevator. We ended up sitting down at the lobby for a conversation. Turns out he doesn't like HK very much, because he has been staying in Chung King Mansions. Now I am going to highly advise anyone wanting to come and stay for cheap in HK DO NOT stay in Chung King Mansions. That place is out of a horror movie. Super creepy, gross and dirty. Plus you feel like you are being followed by people from India and Africa, as that is a hang out for a lot of under cover black market deals. So no wonder this guy thought HK was waco. I ended up giving him a ride on my scooter to meet someone and thought that was it. But after several emails turns out he is coming over to spend the night. Yep I am letting a stranger spend the night on my couch. I have a roommate and both our doors lock. So you never know what will happen when you start a conversation with a stranger at the Ritz. PS You may never hear from me again as I have been murdered....just kidding.;)
