Hong Kong has been great. Worlds apart from China, there is even border control, customs and Hong Kong visas. Sort of defeats the one country two systems idea.
On the way to dinner the other night I noticed a young couple pushing a stroller. Just then I noticed the woman bend down to attend to the child. The child sat up, just above the top of the baby stroller exposing its grey hair and the pointed ears of a schnauzer. I thought this was funny.
Over a dinner of american style hamburgers and shakes we started talking about the office. Someone mentioned that there were local versions of the office in many countries, the US, UK, Germany. Then we all imagined what a Hong Kong office would be like. In the group there were several Hong Kong office workers who had first hand experience with Hong Kong office life. They suggested the sitcom be extended to 2 hours to encompass the long 8am-9pm Hong Kong work day. Slightly off-topic some one asked the group if anyone else takes naps in the bathroom. Surprisingly several people responded yes without hesitation or embarrassment. I have never slept in a bathroom and never imagined people took trips to the bathroom for napping on the toilet.
On the way home another stroller approached us on the sidewalk. This one was an actual doggie stroller with a pug inside.
