I’m in Hong Kong!

Kinda slow on the updates, but really not that much interesting stuff has been going on with me. Right now I’m in Hong Kong with a Thai friend of mine. I’m helping him sell some Ruby rough to the Chinese stone cutters. It’s been an interesting trip, although carrying rough stone around can get a little strenuous. My Thai friend is kinda old, so I end up carrying the heavy bags. This is pretty low grade stone, so we have a lot of it. The first couple days I was walking around Hong Kong with around 30 pounds of Ruby in my backpack. Hong Kong has lots of public transport which is convenient, but we end up walking for days. I’m definitely getting some exercise.
It’s been a while since I’ve been here, and I’ve forgotten how funny Hong Kong is. I just can’t help but laugh to myself when I read some of the signs and menus…like when we drove past “Man Fuk Road”, or a Latte described as a rich cup of coffee stained with milk…Hmmm milk stained coffee, sounds good huh?…..I wonder if there’s a Lady Fuk Road. It’s only fair right?
Anyway I hope you are all well, take care.
