| Day 4 in Hong Kong |
| 01.13.04 (5:18 am) [edit] |

More eating and shopping. I think I am driving my mother crazy with me taking photos of everything I can. I just want to capture every moment and every view because I don't know when I will come back to Hong Kong again!! I saw a Ben and Jerry's today!! Of course I had to have some ice-cream. Never mind that it's almost twice the cost as the US!! I think the texture is just slightly different. We can only get Ben and Jerry's in the supermarket in Canada, and it's always so packed in the container that I can only flick out little bits at a time. And by the time I can spoon out any good-sized portions, the ice-cream's melted :cry: So my aunt, mom, and I went grabbed some lunch at some Portugese place. The food was tasty!! And each patron got a free cup of orange juice on their way out. We mostly spent our time at one plaza today, and I bought some clothes (that fit, hehehee). I guess they fit because the clothes were from a European brand, so I got myself some slacks, a cashmere sweater, and some shoes. Recently, I decided to have some classic staples to my wardrobe, and those slacks and sweater are it. Then we went home, and I did a work out. That's about it. I mailed out 8 postcards today!! Now I will see how my photos turned out. I did not, however, snap any photos of hotties I saw today!! |

I saw the Ben and Jerry's photo. You don't look fat.

Hi Rosie! :)
I'm really happy to hear you're having a wonderful trip. The pics look great - the sushi looks to die for. I wish I could go there!!!!! *jealous look*

I love shopping in Hong Kong and Bangkok for the same reason. The clothes fit! Ahh you're bringing back great memories for me. Enjoy every single minute of your trip Rosie!

*teehee* I just realised how poorly that photo turned out!! I think my fatness depends on culture ;-) I'm average for a North American but fat by Chinese standards.

You can bet I am enjoying every moment of this trip so far!! You are lucky you can find clothes that fit here...I have been not as lucky! Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise ;-)

The only standard I need is my own, so that's what I'm going by. Also, since "North American" is not an ethnic group and where I live, whites are a minority and Asians outnumber whites, it's not clear to me that my standards would be different if I lived elsewhere.
I think most North Americans are fat by North American standards, but it's questionable how realistic the standards are.
I would imagine that there are many who have serious weight problems who would look at you and wonder what you're complaining about.
So if you want to be thinner, I can't blame you for feeling that way. But if you start to think any less of yourself because of it, I would say that you are making a mistake.
