BLOG: In the Mood for Love

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Saturday morning. Woke up early from a bad dream. I can’t remember it, as per usual. I either don’t remember or have a very intense, dark nightmare. I wake up angry and frustrated so often. I can’t get rid of the anger. I don’t know how to filter it out....Read More

BLOG: CAN-tonese or CANT-onese?

Posted on May 21, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. What a crazy week it’s been. Somehow I managed to accomplish everything on my To Do List except pay my phone bill. I don’t know how I forgot. I went to the phone store, I printed out my ticket, I planned to go pay it at 7/11, and then...Read More

BLOG: Confidence Boost

Posted on May 20, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday night. At the Greek place. It’s pretty poppin’ tonight. The owner here recognizes me now that I have been here four times, including once with a friend. Also, I’m a beautiful lady. I can tell this man appreciates beautiful ladies. I’ve also heard his very personal yacht rock closing...Read More

BLOG: Scary!!!

Posted on May 19, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. I have a job interview in an hour. I am very nervous. Trying to shake it off and be confident! I am a great candidate for this job! Plus, the company has American ties and I am American. That makes me feel slightly more comfortable than I was working...Read More

BLOG: Scars from the Past

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. My neighborhood and the coffee shop are both dead as a doornail. I asked the barista if there is a holiday I don’t know about today. He said the holiday is next week. He also says Mondays are usually pretty dead for some reason. No one really knows why....Read More

BLOG: The Forgotten Side Quest

Posted on May 17, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. I just looked at my calendar and was shocked by how much time has already gone this month. Crazy. In two weeks, I will have been gone a whole year. In one month, my visa expires. This is crazy. So crazy. I can’t believe this year has gone by...Read More

BLOG: Chum for the Sharks

Posted on May 15, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Currently sitting inside the coffee shop, which I almost never do. Overstimulation Central. Bright lights, loud music, people talking. Not the vibe I’m looking for today. Usually I prefer to sit outside and watch the street. Unfortunately, the Dump Truck came to China and brought a cloud of terrible...Read More

BLOG: You Want To Go To A Real Party?

Posted on May 13, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Wednesday. Strange days, strange nights. My new favourite song lyric is “You’ll get more than you bargained for when you come to Hong Kong.” Ain’t that the truth? Let me start with Monday night. Late at night, I received a text message from my bartender friend’s mother asking me if...Read More

BLOG: Gonna Have A Good Day

Posted on May 12, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday afternoon. I am having a good day so far. Looking good, feeling fly. Ain’t nobody dope as me, I’m just so fresh, so clean (so fresh and so clean, clean)! Did yoga on the rooftop, then showered and got all dolled up for no other reason than just because...Read More

BLOG: The Weekend Update

Posted on May 10, 2026May 11, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. It was quite the weekend, wasn’t it? You know shit’s going down when I don’t post for two days in a row. So much to document. This is why I have to write daily or I will forget. Friday night was… the most interesting. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting it...Read More
