Bitch, we made it!

No idea what day it is. Who cares? It’s already tomorrow in Hong Kong anyway.

I didn’t do much yesterday. Just explored the graveyard next door, which is a total vibe as it turns out. Probably because almost everyone I’ve ever *actually* loved is dead. Dark, but true. It’s okay. The vibes are real.

Today I decided I was going to ascend the Peak. It was hard. I am shockingly out of shape from two months of the Thai-Grab-Chang-Bar lifestyle. It was a challenge, but I did it. I made it to the top of the Peak, bitch, and I checked out all the real estate on the way.

It’s definitely giving “abandoned Colonial outpost” vibes. Definitely reverted to my OG NOVA behavior of judging people based on the upkeep of their mansions. Some of those mansions look like ancient ruins at this point. I can’t believe the asking prices on some of these properties. Like, at this point, it would actually cost less to just burn down this house and build a brand new one that looks exactly like it. They should be paying people to take these epic money pits off their hands. That’s how bad it actually looks up there. I was legitimately shocked.

But not really…

Just in case anyone out there needs more proof that the modern day real estate market is a joke. Yeah. It is what it is.

Tracked my steps and apparently received a reward from this random app because I increased my step count by 400% in one day. Then it showed me on a graph exactly how lazy I’ve been in Bangkok. It was… eye-opening.

That city is draining my soul away. I know it.

Then I got home and went out for dinner alone, only to have some random old man wearing a cravat chat me up. I was like, “Are you a vampire, bro?” And he was like, “Well, I am from Sarajevo.” Sooooooo basically, yes.

So we were chatting for awhile and then he went on his whole mansplaining campaign and it was exhausting, but at least he paid for my dinner, so whatever. He was such an asshole about it too. He’s like, “What are you, 23? Let me pay since I know I have more money than you.”

You know what, go right ahead. Do your thing. I’ll keep my HKD’s and save them for later. I have a feeling I’m going to need them.

Thanks for condescending me by guessing my age as 23. I really appreciate it, actually. I was looking at my skin and hair earlier and I’m starting to notice the aging process. 40 is creeping up fast. So, thanks for guessing 23.

Honestly, men complain, but they don’t know. Don’t listen to society dictating beauty standards. They don’t know. They don’t care. Most of them would fuck a teenager if they could. They’re sick in the head. That’s why they always start their arguments with, “But what about that time humans still lived in caves 20,000 years ago? That’s the natural way of things.”

It’s like the Enlightenment never even happened. Ugh.

And then there are guys that bitch about paying for “free dinners.” Yeah, well, based on what I’ve seen, you would have spent that money on sex workers anyways, so you might as well get some extra entertainment out of it by having an actual conversation.

I’m so over men, ugh.

Some of them are beautiful, yes. But others… not so much.

There’s more to say on this convo, but…

I need to be asleep right now because I have to catch a flight back to Bangkok tomorrow. I’m not really looking forward to it. I definitely thought I would be. I didn’t know what I would think. I was messed up for several days beforehand. I didn’t even book my flight here until the morning I left.

All I know right now is that Hong Kong is the vibe. I’m going to get my ass in gear once I get back to Bangkok. I have climbed the mountain. I have surmounted The Peak. I know what I want and I’m coming back to get it.

Go on and get your bag, girl. We are so here to see it!

Have a good night, day, morning, afternoon, evening, and goodbye! Just kidding. There is no word for goodbye in Lakota. We just say….

See you later!!!!
