If you build, it they will come. If they come, will you build it? (cycling infrastructure)

“we went to Disneyland and we kept getting cut in front of in line. The people will bum rush an open spot in line.”

Most of the guys cutting in lines are probably mainland Chinese tourists, as Disney attracts mostly mainland tourists who cut lines as a norm in their homeland. Disney’s local rep stinks, so rather you get little HKers who go.

Very keen observation mate, or 朋友, dude, or chap? It’s really wild when you put it all down on paper, uh I mean screen, like that. This criss-crossing of cultures and products so intensely over lapping, exchanging, mixing and doing it all over again in a sort of perpetual mash-up is mind boggling.

I wonder what Ethiopian Airlines will be like, eating with bread rather than utensils as we do in Frisco’s Ethiopian restaurants?

And EXOTIC PEOPLES? You forgot to mention the exotic (and highly sophisticated) folks you’ve encountered, actually with out Falls City Beer can in hands (sometimes) and wearing shoes out of their normal Appalachian environs, the WEST VIRGINIANS!

It sounds like you are having great fun. Have you had the time or inclination to get involved in any community projects or groups?

Hong Kong sucks MOBY DICK!!!!

Taxi drivers at their worst is like riding through hell. Radio blasting, talking on their mobile phones right into your ears. Their shocks are always like, so it is like riding through “Mr Toad’s ride” at Disneyland. One time, the body of the taxi was bumping on the road literally.

How about riding through the lift and being packed like sardines in a can? I have never been so intimate with so many strangers ever in my life.

All my senses are being violated at the same time every single time. Having your own sound, sight, personal spaces is no longer a priviledge.
