Friday October 30 - Day 3
We woke up early to go to the US Embassy and make it so Michelle isn’t an illegal Mexican anymore. We hired her at Lolz to help us out on marketing/branding stuff so now we’re all official!
While she was in the embassy interview I strolled around the financial part of Central, snapping photos of my favorite building in the world: The Bank of China Tower. This thing is supremely intense, and is even cooler at night. Hong Kong is famous for having the best skyline of any city in the world, and Bank of China building is the crown jewel.
We spent the rest of the day shopping for my Halloween costume, and never found anything I needed. So I bought an Elvis wig and called it a day. Yeah, I suck, but it’s better than the year I dressed up as a graphic designer (aka my regular clothes + a photoshop book).
We had dinner at a kewl Korean restaurant that overlooked Victoria harbor and then went to Kowloon for the Hong Kong Wine and Food festival. We never found it so we went “clubbing” in Lan Kwai Fong. That’s basically the equivalent of the Meatpacking District over here and it’s filled to the brim with complete assholes.
We found some non-dickhead clubs, one of which was filled almost exclusively with dudes. I couldn’t tell if it was a gay club or the worst radio bar in the world. There were definitely dudes in there drinking white wine so you know what that means. The dj was getting on my nerves because he was only playing underground hip hop (aka white people hip hop) and had on a graffiti t-shirt. It’s like dude, shut the fuck up and play some Biggie ASAP. I wanted to go up to the booth and be like YO SON I’M FROM BROOKLYN, YOU BETTER PLAY SOME MUSIC WITH THE N WORD IN IT. We bounced out to a kewl techno club with a very happening bathroom area, and then crashed out.
Great Photo! Makes me miss my time living in Hong Kong!
