Commuting to Hong Kong: Training for RIR

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2008/11/vertical-blue-sea-with-matching-paddles.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Sunday, November 30, 2008. I haven’t been doing much other than paddling for the month of November. I’ve put off blogging, drinking, e-mailing, going out, running, reading or writing for four weeks of hard training. I just started doing outrigger canoeing in October and have spent many long hours training, hoping to make the team for the Round Island Race that happened yesterday, the 23rd of November. I can’t count the number of times I heard:. 1 Rotate your body. 10 Use your legs.

Commuting to Hong Kong: Intrepid Traveler

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2009/03/intrepid-traveler.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Saturday, March 7, 2009. That incident has always since epitomized a truly intrepid traveler. So when Granite decided to get his hair cut off at the end of the CNY holidays, I wasn't going to argue. We walked through the streets of Ranong in the heaviest heat I've experienced in Thailand until we found a espresso/fresh orange juice stand backed by a barber shop. The barber slowly put the guard on the buzzers and said to me, "Ok? Yes, I said. Then he asked Granite, "Ok? I'm startin...

Commuting to Hong Kong. Saturday, August 23, 2008. Rachel E. Adams. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Commuting to Hong Kong. Rachel E. Adams. I'm starting my second school year in Hong Kong. There have been lots of changes in my life, but still it's a lot easier than this time last year. I'll be living on Lamma Island. Hopefully I'll be hanging out lots at the beach, on my rooftop and balcony. Come by for a beer, or a virtual beer. View my complete profile. Hong Kong Daily Photos. Divisadero - Michael Ondaatje.

Commuting to Hong Kong: May 2008

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Saturday, May 24, 2008. Sitting here on my window seat I can see Disneyland when I look to the right. Space Mountain shows among the trees; the fast ferries pass on their way from Central Hong Kong to this perfectly groomed area that I live in. Rachel E. Adams. Saturday, May 17, 2008. I feel the jetlag because each program for me has been overwritten by the landscape that surrounds it. I don't know if overwritten is the right word. Remember when, if you taped a cassette ta...The P...

Commuting to Hong Kong: February 2009

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Thursday, February 12, 2009. It has been a long time between posts this year. It's mainly because I'm living more and huddled over my computer less. I've also been away a lot more this year. This weekend will be my fourth trip to Thailand since August. I feel a bit ungrateful when I think that I'm tired of flying there. Fate will bite me in the butt if I ever complain about tropical beaches. Rachel E. Adams. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Commuting to Hong Kong. Rachel E. Adams.

Commuting to Hong Kong: Round Island Race - November 23rd

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2008/11/round-island-race-november-23rd.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Sunday, November 30, 2008. Round Island Race - November 23rd. I still can't believe I paddled around Hong Kong Island last Sunday in an outrigger canoe! It was such an experience. I'd been training for the whole month hoping to make it. Ten of us from Lamma OCC formed the women's racing team for the day and I was lucky enough to make the cut and get to be in the boat. It was such a great time and I’m still high as a kite thinking about it. What if I mess up the sea change? All of ...

Commuting to Hong Kong: March 2008

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Tuesday, March 25, 2008. I'm doing well on the resolution to eat more street food. It helps to wander slowly around sightseeing in a group of six - someone is always hungry. Of the things I've eaten recently, the waffles smelled the best, the fish balls were the cheapest and worst and the octopus had the most interesting texture. Roasted sweet potato in TST ($18). Egg waffle (plain) also in TST ($10). Curried fish balls (tough and repulsive) at the Big Buddha ($6). Lor Mai Gai is ...

Commuting to Hong Kong: December 2008

http://commutingtohongkong.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Commuting to Hong Kong. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. One day, as we walked over, we saw one of the fishermen with a long pole bent over. A crowd gathered almost immediately as he fought his fish. When fish hit pavement, everyone applauded. Since it's Hong Kong, lots of people whipped out cameras and starting taking pictures of the fish. Kestrel borrowed my camera and wormed her way into the crowd to get close. These are her pictures. Rachel E. Adams. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Commuting to Hong Kong.

Commuting to Hong Kong: January 2008

Commuting to Hong Kong. Wednesday, January 30, 2008. The Cold Part II: The Flowers. This is part two, so if you haven't read how pitifully cold it is for us humans, please check that out. You need to hear the pathos in my voice and see how frigid it really is before you see these pictures. There are 500,000 plus people stranded in a train station just 3 hours north of here. The stock market is falling because of the terrible. Will the government step in and regulate prices to cub inflation? The winters&#...
