How many miles to Babylon?

Talking to my pal who says she is suffering in Hong Kong right now. How come I don't believe suffering is possible when you're in one of the most capitalist places on earth? Okay we're forgetting many other places here but.. The most capitalist place closest to home. Is that better?

On the food,

the real Dorian Gray says:
i HATE chinese food
the real Dorian Gray says:
not like i love jap
the real Dorian Gray says:
but desperate times call for desperate measures..

Sidetracking aside (ha ha I'll not even say anything in my defense), there hasn't been much goings-on in the land of the very uncivilised over here. For one, Operation Small Appetite has not made much progress - what with the carbs galore and lack of mobility. Secondly, my visa is not done STILL after months of preparing and submitting the documents. Thirdly, I am losing the ability to converse in proper English. Okay that's about it.

Wah you like it when you are all the way across the globe (maybe a little dramatisation here but you know what I'm saying) and your HK pal says this,

the real Dorian Gray says:
u nv tell me when u come back
the real Dorian Gray says:
damn alot to gossip la my god
the real Dorian Gray says:
really ALOT

Thanks a lot Jiawen!
