First thing is first. Has anyone ever heard the term dust man before??? It's the British way to say trash man or garbage man. The Queen's English can sometimes make me giggle but none of it is truly "foreign" to me. Or so I thought anyway. B said he had heard it before. I have known that they say rubbish instead of garbage. But dust man was a new one.

Turns out garbage is a harsh sounding American word to them. To me it sounds harsh when you use the phrase "tell you off" directed at your 2 year old. So I guess we're even.

I went to get our mail in Kowloon today. We didn't have any. Again. We have been here for 2 months now and we've received one single piece of mail that I know for a fact was sent while we were still in the US. So if you have been considering sending us something, don't send it to the Memphis address. We'll never get it I'm afraid.

When B and I were here alone in HK getting settled in February we stayed in Kowloon. So the area directly around where our hotel was, the area of crazy shopping and the touristy stuff close to the Star Ferry, and now the area by our mail pick up location is pretty familiar to me.

I decided to go a new way today and got totally lost. I know it happened when I exited a building (with a mall in it) thinking I was heading in the correct direction. I still haven't sat down with my best friend Google Maps yet to know exactly what I did. All I know is that I was not going the way I thought I was and I walked for longer than I should have to try to figure it out.

But I saw things that were new and learned things that are good to know so it all worked out fine. I was pretty close to hailing a cab when I realized I had entered into familiar turf. And I was like 10 blocks south of where I wanted to be.

I don't know if I can really wait for this new iPhone to come out. All I kept thinking today was if I had my iPhone I'd know exactly what was up. But I also would have missed out on seeing some of the sights I saw. It's a tough call.
