"Massagi Massagi"


Every country or region has its thing.  Certain cities have words that are engraved in my mind.  "Taxi, Taxi - Avellanas, Playa Grande" comes to mind.  Here in Hong Kong a guy in jeans and t-shirt 90% of the time East Indian "Taylor, very nice suit, shirts, sir, sir, taylor very very nice".  Then there is the guy without a watch "watches, impersonation watches, hand bags, copies, very very nice".  But my favorite to date was on the elevator where an Chinese woman of the oldest profession (at least she looked like it) looks at me smiles and says "massagi massagi"  I don't think massagi meant massage.

Hong Kong is basically over for us.  We leave early in the AM to get back to the ocean.  High light would be going out with Laura's (not my girlfriend) family friends who spoiled us all.  We are all very thankful for what they did for us as they did not have to go out of their way to feed and tour around some surf bums.  First was dinning at one of the best Chinese restaurants in HK where we ate jellyfish amongst other things.  Then a few days ago we went for a day of sailing.  A 64' custom made yacht, two masts, more sails and space than one could imagine.  It had one full time crew member and then us giving a hand.  Coming to HK with no expectations has turned out to be a lot of fun.  We sailed from 8:30 am until 2pm where we ate amazing lunch then motored back and had some drinks on the boat where we arrived back at the club at 7pm.  Money does buy happiness.
