After working in GG for nearly 2 years, sometimes I was just into the GG mood, being very picky and a bit arrogant somehow... that's what I classified as a kind of deficiency of being not able to "switch off" from my work. Even when I was in England, I did suffer from this "disease" as well...
After spending one night in Leeds, it's time to go to Manchester. Maybe I didn't expect to meet so many CHINESE in England, when I met my friend's Chinese friends, I had a strange feeling, I don't know why, just feeling strange, but anyway, they were my friend's friends.
I always think the student dorm in England should be BIG, but once I stepped into the room, how come it's of the same size as that in Hong Kong, a bit surprised (not disappointed, as I live in a very small apartment in Hong Kong). I was happy enough to stay in my friend's place, old Chinese saying "Rely on your family at home, reply on friends outside home", I am really happy that I have so many friends in England.
It's even happier to meet friends that haven't met for long time outside Hong Kong, and good to see that they have had good time as well...
Liam and Vic - my friends living in Manchester now, I met them in Hong Kong. It's so unbelievable that I can see them again in England.
On the first night. We (Me, Andrew, Liam and Vic + some other Chinese) all went to a Chinese karaoke "restaurant" in the China Town, not sure why Andrew brought me to place like that, probably he thought that's a very special place, yes, maybe for WESTERNERS, not Hong Konger like me... haha... but I did enjoy the time there.
Then the time has come, we headed to a place called "Fifth Avenue", probably one of the biggest student clubs in town, packed with students, with loads of cheap vodka red bull. Though I never fancy red bull, but just 1 pound per glass, what can you complain? NO...
It's good place to go when you get rat arsed, if not, it's just soso. Once I stepped it, I felt like I was in a club called "Hollywood" in Pattaya, the only different thing was all the Thai sluts were replaced by those Blondies, haha, sounded good. But I was not into a good mood to "hunt" that night, I felt a bit bored, I don't know, probably just too stuffy and hot inside, can;t really breathe. Maybe if I were 4 years younger, I could get into the mood. Or maybe the people met there were not that "sophisticated" and "elegant" as I met in those "fashion parties" in HK, that's why it made me a bit hesitated to drink and dance. Sounded like a prick, right?: But if you work in the same industry like me, you will know what I mean, it's just so different, and somehow it's just too hard to explain that to the "outsider", of course, I try hard to be myself, but as I have said earlier, sometimes, I did suffer from this "disease"...
Anyway, good night in Manchester, good enough for me.
