Sat down to some caffeine infused beverages in Starbucks yesterday when some old geezer came up to us and asked 'Where are you from?' Sensing no good coming out of this, I primed my guns ready for some fisticuffs and told him that I'm from Newcastle.
'No, no, I meant where is your family from?'
Unsure where this was leading I told him that my family was originally from Hong Kong.
He then busted out some perfect Cantonese (albeit in an English accent) and told us how he was stationed in HK with the army for over 20 years. Lived all over HK - Sha Tin, Tai Po, Sai Kung, even had a chinese name on his business card.
It did my soul good to know that people like that exist.
Hmm, things that make me go (no particular order):
-playing guitar
-my dog (a shelty named Quinn)
-fishing
-being with friends
-this particular girl I have a weakness for
-going to the woods with just a small backpack and stay as long as I want
-going to the gym
-watching a good movie
-shooting (for sport)
-music
And that's not even all of it.. Making a list like that and looking it over makes me go aswell!
Edit: Oh, wait! reading books is a big one aswell!
