Post-New Years HK / Dragon-I

Things after New Years were a little more low-key.

Eugene and his sister Michelle hosted a fantastic Deerfield dinner in Repulse Bay.




.....................................

The day after I got a little bit of a cough. And so I ate a goose head and monky foot and some nasty chinese medicine my grandma gave me and instantly got better.

I checked out the back of the medicine box and realized why...



.............................................................

We went out to this weird Chinese restaurant that was delicious but so strange in that the waitstaff are allowed to answer their cellphones while they are working. I literally saw three different waiters/bus-people stop what they were doing completely and have casual personal conversations. So weird.

Also they were prepping for a super Asian wedding where the bride's name is Jelly.



I had to look twice. At first I thought it said "FELLY and Marc", which kind of makes sense if it's a gay wedding and one husband just happens to be named Felly short for Felix.

But no.

Jelly.

.........................................................

I went out one night with my new friend Garrick and met a bunch of HK g's.



.......................................

And then Pat - also known as PPL - who was once my favorite person but I haven't seen since high school, landed in town.



We shopped for chinky trinkets and then went to Ajisen Ramen in Mong Kok where Felly and Anne and I went last time and it is a chain but chains in HK are awesome and so cheap and you HAVE to try the Beef w/Garlic Flake and I really like run-on sentences. It is sewwwww good.



The spicy beef ramen ain't bad either.



Later on we also met up with fellow Deerfielder Kady at the top of LKF hotel.



And former-Spice Girl / Felix's former co-high-school-Class-President (our world is so small) Lindsay was in town and joined us as well.



Everyone was in town for random business school adventures and stuff.

And Kady just picked up a cool Polaroid cammy from Japan.



...........................................

FINALLY.....last night, which was my last night in town, I met up with non-Kwan cousins and aunties for a fancy dinner.



And then met up with Chavelli, Roxanne, and friends.




And Clarence!



And PPL of course.



To know Chev and Roxy is to know HK's Paris and Nicky Hilton without having to know the Hilton's best friends (herpes and awfulness).

It seems like a decade ago when Tim and I first met them and they brought us to the brand-new (at the time) Dragon-I.

Somehow, four years later, Dragon-I has managed to remain the hottest club in HK.

Wednesday at D-i is Models Night. (Jesse you would love it.)

Chev got us all into the club with no hassle whatsoever. Love her.



Anyway. Yay. It was a ton of fun.




And I met a fellow giant.



And we bumped into other Browns.



HONG KONGGGGGG








It's so cool to have seen/met so many people in Hong Kong this time around.

Greatest city ever.

Let me know if you want to come next time. Will be back for sure in Feb 2011 if not sooner.

Open invitation to everyone! (Probs can't stay with me though, big Kwan reunion.)

OK I'm jumping on my flight back to LA.



BYE!

Privé / D-i

If you think getting out of a stretch Hummer at a club is fun, imagine getting off a giant yacht and walking right into a club.

Not that we did that.

I mean we almost did.

But we went home and showered first.

I'm just saying, imagine doing that. It would be pretty sweet.




So we ended up at Privé.





And then we went upstairs to Dragon-i.



Dragon-i is insane.



Seriously. You could die. And I'm surprised noone has died a horrible flaming death there yet (to my knowledge).



Erik-with-a-"K" found a girl that looked like a diseased and dying geisha.



Geishaface!



The fun in HK is neverending.



We got gyros.




And headed home to rest up for NYE 2010.



Next up: Fancypants New Years!

OH THE FURY...

I AM EXTREMELY ANGRY AT BLOGGER RIGHT NOW FOR EATING MY LAST TWO POSTS.

To make a long and extremely fun story short, I found out that TimLoh (who I love just slightly more than life)(and meatballs), was in HK on business.

We met up in Lan Kwai Fong, where the white people and non-ugly Asians hang out and it's like New Year's Eve every night of the week.



As a pair being exponentially taller (me) and more beautiful (TimLoh) than anyone else in this city, we attracted quite a bit of attention. In fact, we had groupies.

Totally random women came up to us asking us to take pictures with them. One of them made me hold her leg. One of them had amazingly jacked-up teeth. One of them set Tim's hat on fire.





We also met some girls who asked us to come with them to Dragon-I, one of the new clubs in HK. They were on the list. We didn't have to wait in the 1000-person line. Sweetness.



So what's better than great company, great dancing, and a roomful of Asian celebrities?

TimLoh's penchant for bottle service.



I'm not sure how clubs/people justify charging/spending $3000HK for a bottle of vodka but god bless the world of finance jobs.



It was a fantastic night and I got home at 5 am and actually wrote a really fun semi-coherent entry all about it. But alas, it has been erased.

DAMN YOU BLOGGER!!!!
