I took the ferry to Lamma Island today. It is one of the major islands of Hong Kong. And no motor vehicles are allowed there. I walked from one end of it to the other. I had a lobster lunch there. I caught the ferry back to Hong Kong.
I got my fortune told by an old man, dressed business casual.
Here are the notes I took:
Make a design business–something beautiful. [I thought maybe web design]. Women are comfortable with me because the right side of my face is larger. Therefore, my future wife will be nervous about other women.
I might work for a big company now that is going down, but with me it will go back up.
I should learn to be a good swimmer. I should get married ASAP. I will have good female helper from 25-36. Don’t do anything risky in a year ending in 6 or 7. Wife will be aggressive and stubborn. Rich in old age. Confident. Clever. Southwest USA is good. Good to live by sea, but be careful of the rough waters. Lucky numbers are 2 and 4. Can be successful leader, but take one step at a time.
I got the fortune just for the experience. It was fun to do once.
I viewed the Hong Kong skyline at night from the Kowloon waterfront. A girl from the mainland China chatted me up. Her English was okay. She said she studied English for four years in high school, four years in college (majored in English), and two years in post-grad college (masters in English). However, she had never been to an English-speaking country. Her English was only mediocre after ten years of learning. Lesson learned: if you want to learn a language, go where it’s spoken!
