I get up and Jen's back home in canada surprising her family. I'm alone in our place, she likes to plan, so I'm free to follow my last minute instincts. On the phone, she mentions going to movies... I wanna go to a movie!
Start looking stuff up find out this awesome movie is playing in specific theatre, an hour away, in one hour,
only today. The next show is on in 2 weeks.
Brush
Cereal
Pack snacks like snack packs
Run off to find random bus
Overpasses and
mountains and
millions of people
Looking everywhere for the 60x
Walk around trying to find it,
20 mins goes by.
No big deal regularly, but thats 1/3 of my valuable travel time.
Finally find the bus stop
Theres no 60x
How's there no bus I need right now?
AHHHH
Why doesn't anyone understand my dramatic overreaction??
Breathe water snackpack, half in garbage, No time.
Ask around, they tell me over the bridge across the mall....
What?? I just ran over multiple bridges across many malls!
Shit, u mean TMT mall,
the one right beside my house!?
Get to the bus
frantically ask the bus driver if he going where I'm going
Is there only one bus
Complaining no 60x at the other bus stop Im pissed hands moving explaining demanding for future bus users
... he doesn't understand my out-of-breath cantonese.
I get to my seat and I look up and were literally driving past our place, I see my building!
Ran around the whole neighbourhood across the mountains up and down ramps for NOTHING?!?!!
Calm down, I'm on the bus and I still have half an hour to get there....wooo finally.
I'm on my phone and see that the bus I was looking for at the other stop was actually the 260x. This route, the 60x is going near the theatre, but its gonna take an extra 45 mins and 15 extra stops than the original bus.
Feel like I'm in a Mr. Bean episode!
So I'm missing my movie... Bahahaha
Waiting for my stop, the driver asks me where I'm going. He tells me there's a nicer theatre I should go to instead called The Grand, oooo pull an audible again. He's excited because he's retiring in a couple days and he can't wait until he can go to the movies in the middle of the day too! I guess I am lucky... It's like I am retired :)
I get into the theatre and the next movie I'd wanna see isn't til 530, 3 hours away costing 135 hkd, almost 30 canadian. I have no idea if I'm going cause I can't plan that far ahead. Seems steep though, even for 3D.
I see this is why Jen likes to plan decades ahead, so she doesn't end up like me... But I just ate a delicious burger, in a random mall, in an area I never been, thinking I wouldn't be here in Hong Kong if it wasn't for these crazy instincts. But I would also be homeless if it wasn't for hers lol.
I still blame her for mentioning movies and getting my spur-of-the-moment instincts on hyperdrive. I agree South Park, blame Canada!
Ps. Darling, can you please bring me chocolate snack packs from home? Thanks :) loves uuuu
