So, the US Navy aircraft carrier (Hello) Kitty Hawk will dock in Hong Kong for Thanksgiving, and some 8,000 seamen will flood the streets of WanChai and LanKwaiFong. Those are two places I will know to avoid for the next five days. If I had wanted to see drunken idiots in heat, running after everything that even slightly resembles a woman, I could've stayed in Finland and go to any music festival.

I remember the last time we witnessed the invasion of American idiots to Hong Kong and I really, really, really don't want to see it again. It's just one of those things that make me hate all of humanity oh so much more. Idiots... drunk idiots, everywhere. Sigh.

We come in peace, shoot to kill.

Anyways, it's Friday again and soon I can retire myself to the comfort of my home, sweet home. With the (Hello) Kitty Hawk in town, I dare not go outside, so I'll just raid the grocery store and get enough supplies to survive the weekend.

Christmas preparations are well on their way here in Hong Kong, by the way. The first Christmas lights I saw already almost one month ago but now everyone seems to be getting into the holiday spirit! Ain't Christmas just super!

Light everywhere, trees, special prices, sale, sale, sale! Consumer heaven, tradition hell.

Below a plastic bag from a big local electronics store. It's a snowman-Christmas-elf-kind-of-thing that is shooting snow from his ass at another snowman. How cool is that? No matter how I look at it, I can't make myself see it in any other way. It's a snowman-Christmas-elf-kind-of-thing that is shooting snow from his arse. Maybe I have some brain disorder. If someone sees something else in this picture, let me know.
