Now two weeks a resident of Hong Kong it has dawned on me that my adjustment to the
new land has distracted me from my writings and that an update was necessary. I live
in a hotel with two bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchenette. There's a bathroom
with shower and I suppose it has everything one could need to survive here minus
cooking pots and pans. There is a pool, small gym, and computer room with 3 computers
that you can usually use as you please. The best part of the hotel is the shuttle bus
to the MTR (subway) stations.
The neighborhood I live in is mostly Chinese speaking persons with the occasional
European which is a nice change of scenery from my place in Brooklyn. Rather than
seeing hacidic jews walking around my abode there are loads of elderly chinese and
children. Also, I live right on a sea which is surrounded by mountains so I constantly
have this feeling of being in some exotic land, a place I once saw on the national
geographic channel or in travel advertisements and wished that I were there. But I
don't have the mentality of a tourist, I have a pressing fear that I owe someone loads
of money if I don't acquire enough work and it's a shame because I feel that in years
I will look back and say it wasn't so bad...
