Mainlanders

Was on the MTR train to work today and was in the same cabin as 4 elderly mainland chinese who were on their way to North Point (it's a MTR station - a stop before Quarry Bay where the office is - NOT the shopping mall at Yishun) and they, as all Mainland Chinese do, were talking at the top of their voice arguing whether they were heading the right direction, whether they've passed the station, analyzing the route map above the door (those who have taken the MTR in HK would know what I'm talking) and that got me thinking 'Why do they all talk so damn loudly?'

Someone (I don't remember who, sorry) once told me the reason why they talk that loudly is coz they come from a country of 1 billion people and it's too crowded and the only way they can get heard is to talk at the top of their voices. I think that's funny. Considering the volume of their voices, it seems ironic that most of their opinions hold so little weight. But I'm no political expert and would never claim to be.

Anyhow, back to mainlanders. I was at Sasa helping Cardin buy something and checking out something for Diana and the store is just swarming with mainlanders. They come in and ask the sales assistants about almost every single freaking product on the counters, at the TOP OF THEIR VOICES NO LESS......"WHAT IS THIS FOR?", "DO YOU HAVE 2 MORE OF THIS?" "HEY COME OVER HERE LOOK AT THIS!" U get the picture. And it's not even JUST the women, imagine those mainlander chinese men trying to sniff at perfume, analysing facial products, it's quite funny actually.

So how many of you ARE gonna come to HK post April to come help me retain my sanity? Apart from Kai who said Aug, SJ who said Aug too, my cousin Evelyn & sister Shirley (Aug too) - hang on, WHASSUP with Aug? Oh, summer sale... apparently that's really good.

Alright - gotta get back to work! I have this heavy metal music campaign to work on and I can't figure it out.

'Satan's Goat!' :P
