Lessons from the Konger...

Well after only a day I've learned quite a bit in the Konger....
1. Coughing here is a very serious offense. One who coughs must wear a surgical mask....
-never joke about any sickness or pigs. AkA Swine...
2. American Money is like toilet paper compared to Hong Kong Money...
- May it be clean or dirty toilet paper it is simply boring and not pleasant to look at( just like american money) where as the HK Dollar is quite pleasing to the eye...
3. When all else fails nod and smile- When at the bank and faced with a question in broken English- nod and smile, when at the supermarket trying to decide what food to buy- nod and smile, when the street vendor asks if you'd like chicken or cat meat- nod and smile( that was a joke I haven't had to deal with that yet)

That was only in like a day! imagine what 2 months will bring...

I'd like to personally thank Melanie for allowing me to bring the book "stuff white people like" it's currently giving me a good hardy laugh.
