How come 70 degrees in Hong Kong is a lot colder than 70 degrees anywhere else? It's freezing here all of the sudden. I have to wear a long sleeve AND sweater to go out! What is January going to be like!?
Last night P and I attended the Rancinan exhibit opening at the Opera Gallery in LKF. Finally someone who knows how to throw an event! As you walk into the deceivingly large gallery, you're greeted by a one of the many batmen waiters with a glass of champagne. The photographs are blown up and cover every wall. I don't know if you're familiar with his work, but it's visually stunning, shocking, and disturbing. He certainly has a gripe with commercialism, specifically in America, yet somehow this doesn't translate to the $800,000+ price tags. One of the pieces that really stood out was a family sitting around the dinner table in height order, mom and dad at each end. Everyone is dressed in a suit accessorized with a black batman mask. It was a really cool exhibit and the mix of people was really interesting. We met a guy who just moved here and was teaching at a University. He was decked out in a t-shirt, yet the rest of the 50 or so people were to the 9s. I definitely didn't feel up to par. I need a job.
Post exhibit we wandered around LKF and decided to stop into Otto Lounge. I had only been here for private wine events, and now I realize why. It was dead! 9:30 on a Thursday and there was not a soul in the 7th floor lounge. The private party continues! The shocking part is that Thursday is ladies night and it's free flow prosecco (from the tap!) and vodka drinks for da ladies. I got my champers, P a beer, and we sat out on the 7th floor patio and anonymously watched all the LKF action. I don't know if I should even write about this because it was really sweet to have the place to ourselves!
Today I'm heading into Foodie to discuss what I did and what's up next. And I have my own computer! It's almost like being an employee...
Then Paul and I are going to have a wine and cheese picnic and go watch some poetry in Lok Fu. The artists are all international, so hopefully it won't suck :)
