Chapter 16
It was my first time to take business class.Thanks for his care and nice experiences.
During the flight, we discussed the issue of geographical discrimination in Cathay Pacific. Lucas believed that this situation always happened. Even he personally would be treated by low-level people. The best way was to ignore and leave.
We arrived at the HK airport then we directly took taxi to visit the visa notice office and successfully got the approval.
Then we had plenty of time to wander around in side city before our checking inside hotel.
We went to the peak tram first to experience this famous tourist view. The tram was on an uphill slope with a large inclination angle, so there was a backward buffering state during the starting process of the journey.
Beside us.These was one Japanese tour group in the same carriage.They began to make slight shouts.And Lucas also started speaking Japanese and greeting everyone.“Si Gu Ai” The Japanese tourists were also very surprised to reply with smiling. I was also shocked by his language talent.
After getting off the tram, he told me that he had worked in Japan for a year and a half, and later worked in an Australian’s restaurant and bar on the Bund in Shanghai. And he used same saving logic to get enough money to invest business by no night life&simple food&no girlfriend etc.
Soon we arrived the top of mountain.We didn`t choose commercial area and we went hiking on the top of the mountain and overlooked the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour from a height. This was my third time in Hong Kong. I recalled myself when I was sent here for work before and felt quite a lot.Nice experiences.
After a simple meal, I suggested that we go shopping, and Lucas happily agreed. When we got down to Central, he started the shopping mode, but the shopping I mentioned was just to have a look from my perspective.Hahaha. Another lovely misunderstanding.
Lucas spoke Cantonese with the shopping guide in the mall, and then he lost control of his shopping under the flatting of sales by words”li ge gui lao hui gang guang dong hua”(This foreigner can speak Cantonese). Oh my god. I was carring his shopping bag like his driver.Hahaha.He complained that I didn`t do shopping enoughing.I told him that shopping for me meant hang around.
At night, Lucas showed me around because he had worked in HK for 6 years. Lots of his musician friends still worked in bars. They were all nice to him and me. He explained that if you didn’t change, then you would retire in the same way for the same job like this bartender or singer. He was happy for the changes because he became more successful.
We also went to the casino in Maucau next day by ship.I thought that I was good at black jack with logic from Alexie about two hands at the same time.Lucas didn`t enjoy there at all.He lost his chips in 20mins and went to his another friend there for advices and drinks.I did won a lot first but still lost everything in my pocket.RMB2000 for 6hours.Another lesson about over confidence.
The next day morning we finished the breakfast then we decided to swim inside pool of hotel before leaving.After we changed on the swimming pats. He was laughing at me and advised me to do training of body building. What?
Soon I got contact of Tom from Lucas after we returned to Shanghai morning after.Tom was from Israel who did actor job for Jacky Chen.
When I arrived to his gym then I found it`s a Thai boxing club.My goodness.
