Dear Leanne,
If this does not tighten up my hips, then only god knows if I'll escape
heart disease.
The scenario was simple. The search, also simple. It was so simple compared to my
other forays and problems on this trip. Well, you know, it's all about balance.
I wanted a cell phone. Oh yes, Hong Kong is known for its good deals, so I asked
my cousin who happens to live in Hong Kong to take me to one of his favourite cell
phone places in Mong Kok.
After passing an Indian roti stand, and how heavenly is the smell of roti slowly
cooking at night, my cousin started walking at his pace.
Compared to you and I, he's Donavan Bailey for god's sake.
"Dashing through the asphalt,
hauling a hundred pounds of flesh..."
Anyways, the dashing was more or less necessary due to the huge crowds that befall
this district. I know, I know, I have liberally described situations in letters to you with the word
"befall", but this takes the icing. After twenty minutes of... exhaustive... dashing, I found
a deal on a Sony Ericsson phone.
Oh, eat your heart out... baby.
Sincerely,
Phil
