You know how some people like to jump out of airplanes armed only with a handkerchief, throw themselves off tall buildings tied to an elastic band or spend weeks wrapped in cellophane and stapled to the north wall of K2 just because it makes them feel alive?Â
You’ll be glad to know there’s a cheaper, more convenient way – if you live in or visit Hong Kong. All you have to do is take First Ferry from Mui Wo to Hong Kong Island.Â
Because of incessant reclamation, the waves in the harbour are now so big that every trip is a near-death experience. As the ferry comes hurtling into the narrow strip of brackish water between the Kowloon peninsula and Hong Kong, slamming down on the water like it wants to punish it, passengers fly around the cabin arse over tit, screaming with … joy, I suppose. The joy of having people puking all around them and being hit by flying cups of coffee and laptops.Â
It’s certainly better than a lull. But why pay for breakfast only to lose it twenty minutes later, I wonder.
every day fun, woaahh …. what a wonderful life
Sounds like a bit of fun. I should give this ferry a try next time I’m in HK.
Well it’s an ill wind blah blah blah. Those big waves are really fun in an outrigger canoe. Si ha laaaaaaaaa.
Big news. Three new poddy casties up and running. Toast, Bras, Nipples. I’m tuning in postie hastie.
A bit of a gross overstatment if you ask me. Of course, if you don’t have ‘sea legs’ like Ah-Sin, it may well appear a bit rough.
how about a new episode from a shenzhen massage center. this weekend we will go there and i believe nody can understand my cantonese, AGAIN
I was in Hong Kong last year and I almost had my foot taken off as I tried to board one of those things! Like the videos by the way…
I have sea legs! I used to be a tuna fisherman in Australia. It’s the sitting down inside those plane-like, smelly cabins that gets me.
And Tomahahahaha, if you believe nobody will understand your Cantonese, then chances are they won’t. Confidence is everything in this game.
Cheers Kelly, please subscribe to YouTube. We need support. And extras!
Tomaha, they all speak Putonghua in Shenzhen, especially in the massage parlours – or so fumie tells me.
@ Ulaca: long time ago i wrote Cecilie that i wanna go to SZ for massage. And i asked her how to say a few things. Cecilie didn’t mention that i can’t use Cantonese there………
Just listen to the podcasts. Yes you can use Cantonese there. If you couldn’t, why would I go there? Of course Shenzhen has a lot of immigrants but many of them are learning Cantonese and speaking it quite well. And of course there are millions of Cantonese natives there, except maybe in the massage places where most workers seem to be from Hubei.
The reason everybody speaks to you in Mando is that it’s the new English and nobody can believe any whitey can learn Canto. Just persevere. Or perverse-ere, he he.
God, the excuses some people come up with to avoid things they secretly want to do?
I think it’s time you started taking live lessons from me. Have two other people starting next week.
Did you learn how to say half past six in Mandarin in Shenzhen, Ulie?
They kept telling me it was high noon for some reason, old chap.
