Anyway, we're in Hong Kong now, I saw the bloody racetrack from afar, and of course the roommate's barely interested in the track but the real kicker is this other woman who is just PETA enough to get mad about using animals for entertainment. She got upset and refused to ride a cart behind some donkeys in Vietnam too. Didn't lecture anyone, just didn't ride the cart and walked instead. Now I can't get her to come to the track and if she doesn't go, my roommate doesn't want to go, ergo I don't go. Foreign country I just got into a few hours ago and only just now am free to go where I want to--I can't justify going out by myself. I also don't like missing out on the stuff they have planned otherwise.
I am listening to the race audio on my computer now while I wait for them to change. I need a hug. This blows.

Oh my God I'm dying reading this. I can't imagine being in Hong Kong and being in your postition, poor baby!
I am sending you the biggest damned hug, I swear!
Sunday is the Hong Kong Mile... it's really a shame you can't stay an extra day.
In a show of solidarity I am now completely depressed for your sake.
