is happy but worn out.
Today is another obscure public holiday here in Hong Kong. Everyone gets off work for the Dragon Boat races. I have no idea why this is but I’m sure there’s some ancient cultural significance to it all. Or its just because there are 8 billion dragon boat teams and no one would show up to [...]
So I hear it’s a public holiday back home in the States. No such luck here; I had to work today. Although we do get about the same amount of holidays here in Hong Kong but they are at different times and have different names. Exactly the same only completely different.
