I mentioned my job was for a jewellery company, but did I mention the diamonds?

a chronicle of my life of magic & adventure and everything in between
Day three to come...
Just got back from a long day in Guangzhou, 3rd most populous city in China if you believe the rumours. The video below is mostly me pointing out the obvious...such as the sun...which does look different from China afterall (due to all the smog)
We found the subway station, my translator left me partway to my destination in order to catch her bus home, and I made a friend! The oddity of seeing another young foreigner on a Guangzhou subway was enough to merit a conversation, which led to a tour of a nearby park and brief stop at starbucks before boarding my train back to HK
Raul is from Ecuador and has been living in Guangzhou for about FIVE months studying mandarin and enjoying it (!!!) Considering that this is a place many models dread and which had been described to me previously as 'either the armpit or asshole of China, not sure which one...' I find that quite the feat...but then again, I thoroughly enjoyed my Guangzhou Experience as well.

Another thing I'm loving about HK right now: this newly discovered snack food available (as far as my searches have uncovered) exclusively at Circle K convenience stores (best convenience store chain in HK, no contest). Ingredients: sweet potatoes, maltose, red bean. And yes, that's me dipping this turd-resembling snack food in ketchup. mmmmm
I was also not happy about how many holes got poked in my flesh.
Nevertheless there are a few things that I am already missing about St. Paul's hospital...
-the reprieve from the Daily Quest to Find Toilet while out of the house during the day between castings
-the window over my bed (I lived in a windowless cave of a room for a month when I first arrived in HK)
-the lack of spiders in my bed which lead to hospitalizations, as well as the lack of roaches, ants, and small unidentifiable bugs which I squish whenever I spot small black specks moving across my computer screen
-not having to pay for water or TP
-operational and sanitary plumbing (aka a toilet that doesn't plug and shower that doesn't flood)...I'm noticing a recurring toilet-based theme in this list...
-the other luxuries of living somewhere where other people do everything for you
-last but not least, this menu...
This was from a job for a glitzy HK mall...I saw the current ads plastered all over the corridors of an MTR (metro) station here. Hopefully I will stay in HK long enough to take ridiculous pictures of myself in front of what I anticipate will likely be photoshopped masterpieces...
I don't know where the makeup artist on this shoot got the patience to draw little lines on my face for over an hour, but I certainly admire such dedication nonetheless.
