I'm settled enough here now that I more or less have the professional domain in hand, at least to the point that I know what to do, who to report to, and what the rules are. Now I can focus more on the personal domain, so I have questions.

Do you have a boat? (Or are you willing to help appropriate one?)

Do you scuba dive? Do you surf? Do you snorkel?

Have you been in Hong Kong long enough that you know any relevant information about any of the following topics:

I'm glad I hadn't been planning to sleep with anyone today, because I think my cock and my balls all crawled up inside me after that shower.

Was anyone else having this problem, or was it just a bad luck day for me?

Anyone here play football? Some of you might call it soccer. I used to play, and we had a good group of players for pick-up games back in Peru. I miss
