Heifer, the office

March 29 – Not a very exciting day today. I went to the corporate apartment with our largest rolling suitcase & filled it up with stuff that we need to move before the lease runs out in 2 weeks. I figure it’ll take a few trips with the suitcase, but it is a good walk & nothing is that heavy. I got some stares walking down the street with the suitcase in tow & several taxi drivers slowed down hoping I would hail them. But I made it just fine.

I went into the office to talk to Karen about the hotels for the salesman. We settled on the one that is run by the Salvation Army as the other knew of it & said it had a reputation of being clean & safe. It also is close to the MTR & not that far from the office. So that was done.

I had lunch with the ladies at work, the always order from the Chinese place down the block. I got soup & veggies. I was drinking my soup when Sophia said “stop stop, are you drinking the soup?” I said “yes”. Sophia explained that it was OK to eat the meat & noodles & veggies & tofu in the soup, but not to drink too much of the broth. She said it is loaded with MSG & not good for me. I guess I am so used to places not using MSG in the US anymore, I had never thought to see if the food here still used it. I guess so.

I’ve become friends with Stella, at the movie rental store down the street. With John being away I’ve been catching up on the movies I don’t think he’d be interested in. I do my ironing watch movies, so at least I’m getting something accomplished. Stella likes making suggestions for me, it’s fun.
