Work Tomorrow? ugh..

Witnessed my first car accident while in Hong Kong tonight!!! I'm pretty excited, mainly because I thought the people drove insane over here and I was wondering how I hadn't seen a car accident yet..I was beginning to think maybe driving crazier is better in some ways? Like if there are no rules of the road other than red lights and one ways then it works out..but NOPE! A nice little SUV BMW tried to pull a u-turn in the middle of the road downtown (I've seen this done multiple times now)..anddd like I said before, cars drive FAST here. A cab tried to go around him but didn't realize they were turning around and BAM right into the side of the BMW! I stopped to watch a little bit with these two old ladies who were pointing and giggling. Then decided I'm absolutely exhausted and walked the rest of the way home.

Tomorrow is supposed to be an absolutely crazy night..we have the "Funrise Toys" party at night..and it doesn't even start until 11 or 12..yikes. Before we go to that, Pete is taking us to the Hong Kong Yacht Club and we're going to BBQ on the island! :) We're getting pretty spoiled over here..

I found the first bad thing about Hong Kong today...the 6 day work weeks. I wasn't sure if it applied to me or not, but while talking with coworkers today and they asked "can you have this done before lunch tomorrow?"..I realized I was not an exception to the rule. :( :( :( I guess it could be worse..atleast it's a shorter day and we have the fun-filled night to look forward to!

P.S. Happy Birthday Smhelbel!!! :) I tried calling you but I'm pretty sure you were sleeping. Love you and hope Atlanta is sososo much fun!

  1. Awwwww poor Paigey, 6 day work week! Although It appears to me that it isn't all work and no play! :P.
    The hong kong yacht club is on your dad's list! He wants to compare it to the lahaina yacht club. Lol.
    The rest of your stuff was shipped today. It only took up 1 1/2 crates of the 4 you were allotted! Nice job! The only thing that I noticed is the forms said they were being shipped to FRANCE.....oops! I have a call into them to correct it.
    We are excited to visit, booking our flights this weekend! See you in 19 days! <3
