amber red (black)

Rotting at the comp now waiting to go down to KoolPurpleSkool, which I immensely do not feel like going to today because I'm exhausted from too much walking in the rain in HongKong.

It isn't supposed to be raining at this time of the year, but unfortunately and fortunately, it was. And it wasn't just rain. It was Amber Rain, and Red Rain, just short of Black Rain, the codes they give for different degrees of rain storms. But the rain cleared the crowds, which is good because I can't stand crowds. And thanks to Hongkong I can avoid the whole Great Singapore Sale crowd because it's not like I'm going to buy anymore clothes in the near future. I have shopping phobia now.

Travelling alone was liberating, because you get to do whatever you want, whenever, You have the liberty to get lost, to scrap plans whenever, to not shop, to walk through the residential areas, the small roads with the wet markets, and see how people live.

But of course, having someone there makes a difference because of the energy boost in times of flagging enthusiasm. And knowledge of bus routes helps immensely. I think buses, in all forms, are better for getting around than trains that let you see nothing except black tunnels.

Photos following soon.
