Soooo, after a month away from the gym, my GP has given me the official "thumbs up" to begin exercising again.
I went to the gym this AM and started the usual workout (one hour on the elliptical). Could only last for 40 minutes, huffing and puffing like a steam engine (or maybe like someone inside a soapland!).
Getting back into this is going to take some time. And will probably be painful too. But it's necessary! Tis almost travel season!
Like many things in life, being a good traveler requires the proper amounts of planning and equipment, both in proper balance, of course!
If you've got all the equipment but not enough (research and) planning done, your trip will be too disorganized and you'll end up looking like a doofus. On the other hand, if you've planned too much and you don't have the right equipment, it can make your trip downright stressful because you won't be able to do everything you planned...
So, after being under the weather for about a month, I'm got an appetite and it's cold and rainy.
It's time for ma-bo-to-fu!
It's time for Spices!
But not the one on 6th Avenue, the original one on 8th!
Nice spicy burn your tongue goodness just waiting to be poured over faan and devoured!
Burp.
Yup, still missing Hong Kong. That could have something to do with the fact that it's 8 degrees C (47 degrees F) outside right now...which means it is cold inside the house too!
Yes, San Francisco does get cold too!
Tonight we are walking on the overpass crossing Connaught Road Central on the way to IFC 1. The traffic is fierce going toward Central; chill going toward Sheung Wan...
Here's a sign that I saw in Mong Kok, at the intersection of Nathan Road and Argyle Street.
For those of you that don't get it, here is what it means. Ready?
The sign is a red bordered triangle which usually means "Warning"! Inside the triangle is a ped who did not pay attention to his surroundings and as a result, got hit by the very old looking car. So the sign is basically saying, "Warning! Pay attention otherwise a very old car will hit you". But, if you look closely, you will notice that there is no one inside the car. So maybe it's a warning to stupid peds to be careful, otherwise they will walk into a very old car that is parked.
Which only someone really dumb would do.
We need a LOT of these signs in San Francisco.
Yeah, I do. I'll admit it.
I miss the food. The sights. The energy. The lights and the sounds.
Well, this webpage has a lot of the sounds that makes my brain think "Hong Kong, waaaah!". And just for positive reinforcement, here's an awesome panorama of Hong Kong side on a clear clear day at sunset, which is by itself, totally awesome! (link via Shaky).
Note: Sound page uses an imbedded RealPlayer and it apparently works only in Windows...bah!
