It's May already. A few more classes, some essays to grade, a final exam to invigilate and mark, and then home for the summer.
Went to the Devil's Advocate to watch the Pacquaio/Hatton fight. The atmosphere was absolutely electric, with an equal mix of Filipino and British boxing fans. And then the fight started and it was a six minute massacre. Pacquaio absolutely destroyed Hatton, which was somewhat disappointing because I expected more from the 'Fat Man.' I was hoping for a see-saw battle, Fight of the Year, type event. It turns out Pacquiao is another level completely. I hope that Pacquaio/Mayweather comes to fruition, for that could be the event of the decade in the sport of boxing.
Also went hiking and camping this weekend. Things I learned are:
1. Always check to see if your tent has poles BEFORE you leave for the weekend
2. Always bring insect repellant so that you do not suffer the wrath of mosquitoes and sand flies
3. Don't bring 3 books, when 1 is enough
4. Don't cram bananas in your bag...they squish open and make everything sticky
5. Don't pack toothpaste on the bottom of the bag...it squeezes open and makes everything minty
Is there anything more annoying in Hong Kong than the touts on Nathan Road? Do we really need 7,481 tailors in Tsim Sha Tsui?
