BLOG: Make Me An Offer I Can’t Refuse

Posted on May 31, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. At brunch. And by brunch, I mean I woke up at 2:30pm after staying out all night partying at the gay club and somehow dragged myself up the stairs for a Bloody Mary. Who am I? Where am I? Ugh. Yesterday was ridiculous. I went to the reggae festival...Read More

BLOG: Gratitude Attitude

Posted on May 26, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday. We are having a heat wave here in HK. That means everyone else is sitting inside enjoying the air on whilst I, a not-so-recent refugee of the unforgivingly cold and terrible winter weather of South Dakota, sit outside and bask in the glorious heat. I never want to experience...Read More

BLOG: Keep the Dream Alive

Posted on May 24, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday. Sitting out on my rooftop on my yoga mat. It’s not the most comfortable writing position. I suppose I could always use a chair or go get my little lap desk from downstairs. Or I can just put my keyboard on my lap and sit up straight. Here we...Read More

BLOG: The Cure for Loneliness

Posted on May 3, 2026May 5, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Sunday afternoon. Chillin’ in my apartment on a rainy day. There is something very cozy about rainy days in Hong Kong. The thunder is rolling in, the lightning is flashing, the rain is pounding against the pavement, the streets are slowly filling up with water and flooding. It’s the perfect...Read More

BLOG: SEA of Sharks

Posted on April 30, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. Back at the coffee shop. I haven’t been here all week due to a combination of heavy rainfall and general malaise. Just pushing myself back into action, no matter what it takes. Another week, another round of dead applications that went absolutely nowhere. Fabulous. Apparently the only jobs I...Read More

BLOG: Escape to Thailand

Posted on April 27, 2026April 28, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. I have not written in a few days. Not much to say today. I am feeling pretty depressed in general. I don’t know if it’s me or the general Hong Kong vibe. It is ranked as one of the least happiest cities on Planet Earth… Currently sitting on the...Read More

BLOG: Shark Fin Soup

Posted on April 23, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Friday. At the coffee shop. It’s raining today. It rained all last night. The construction was still going on outside until about 2am when the rain started, so the very loud sounds of the drilling were replaced by impossibly loud, extremely terrifying thunder claps. Needless to say, I did not...Read More

BLOG: See the SEA

Posted on April 22, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Thursday. Where does the time go? I do not know. I am early to the coffee shop today. Early meaning 10:15am. Normally I come around lunchtime because the streets are busier and much more fun to watch. Today I came early just because I woke up at sunrise, a rarity...Read More

BLOG: Irish at SEA

Posted on April 21, 2026April 21, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Tuesday, later in the day. Still in a daze. Somehow made it over to the Kowloon side to hit up the Irish pub. Nothing a bit o’ stew and a pint can’t fix, am I right? No, you don’t understand. This is not alcohol. This is Guinness. It’s not the...Read More

BLOG: Are You Okay?

Posted on April 20, 2026 by Betsey Horton

Monday. Is it Monday? I have lost all of April. Where did the time go? How am I? Not great. I definitely feel like I got the “Hong Kong Sevens Experience,” and by that I mean literally getting beaten up while playing the game on the field. Unfortunately, I was...Read More
