Just another day at the office. This morning I found out that when "no taxis are available" via phone, one can request to pay an additional HK$10 and there will be a taxi outside in four minutes. Quite interesting how that works over here. Mary pointed out some gyms I can join on the way to work. One is called California Fitness with a three story high picture of Jackie Chan on its sign. The other, slightly closer to work, Fitness First also boasts three stories but no gaudy Asian figures on their sign. Upon arrival at work we were joking about the gyms here and the overall consensus was Fitness First. But working out will have to wait, I have to make it through my first week before I seriously think about working out. Today's lunch with nothing special, just a turkey sandwich and a diet coke. I should be exploring more, but wow does the jet take it out of you. I did finally get on Skype and was able to say hi to Matthew, Chris, Mom, Dad, Blitz, and Behr. It's truly different being over 8,000 miles and a couple hundred apart from home. That sounds trivial, but being completely on the other side of the world makes it hard to get in touch with people. Right as I'm ready to go to bed, everyone is waking up and right as everyone is able to talk in the evening, I am busy at work. I now see why it's so hard to get in touch with Mary via phone. Oh well, I'm rambling. Tomorrow should bring some interesting conversation, dinner party here with a luxury real estate agent and a former coworker of Alasdair's. Should be quite interesting.
