HK 7s

"Mate you have to be there ALL 3 days"
ok hmm hmmm ... what exactly are we tlaking about ... blank looks at me ... as if I had just told a ghost that he was actually alive
So I was made ot sit on the net during office hours and research on what is the 7s and why it is the 7s and why it is a MUST event to be at.
Anyways I goes there; ok the seriousness of the sport is such ....
See in my job in the equity markets you have to have a real good reason not being on the desk when the markets are on.
During the 7s (it starts on a friday and ends on a sunday; 3 day event); on the Friday is whats called a Long Lunch wherein beer starts off at 1 and then you head off straight to the stadium by 4:30. I got Box seats for telling my colleagues that they could go for hte opening.

Saturday is going to start at 11 for me (surprise!) and its going to be one long day of beer JUST beer and people go mad on beer! I have NEVER seen so much beer
So I should sleep now to be ready for it tomorrow. If I am back at anice hour; will continue my blog from here.
But the game is fun; no doubts and the beer and the women
HELP!!!!!!!!

Continuing
Didnt go on Saurday as decded we should be there whole of Sunday in the afternoon sun drinking beer.
Anyways; started of drinking beer @ 10 and was on till 5 when I got so slugged got up and came back
Trust me you want to see the snaps to know what all happens @ The 7s so wil put them up.
Blogging on that wont help.

Funny things

Just a blog on what I find really funny/ironical/idiotic for some I may give a rationale for other no
First is of course the American way of thinking that they can attack anywhere and hte retaliaiton that the Mid east come out with
How the Jewish/Palestianian tussle is really the result of anglo-French politics in 1950s and now USA is stuck with it ... and doing a bad job
How Kamal Nath calls cyclical industries "profiteering". I feel ridiculous abt the fact that the Commerce Minister thinks supply demand is not economics ... God save India
The fact that the biggest issue between Japan and rest of North Asia remains some PM visiting Japanese soldiers' shrine; ok given and understood that the WWII was hideous but hey thats more than 50 yrs now; so lets look ahead right? Nope!
How being right is the IN thing; right as in the political right and if you are either left wingish or moderate you are a traitor... somoene who doesnt understand "The Cause"
How Indians in HK never say hi when they are out to other Indians; I am at times the only one smiling at any passing Indian ... the same is absolutely the opposite with the whites; sometimes I feel whites are not the racist blokes; its us!
How ppl would spend 4/5 and at times 8 extra hours at stop-overs and airports to save $100 while going home from abroad while missing out on that much time with family and yes they CAN afford the extra $100
The fact that saddens me the most is when Africa is called the "burden"; I mean come on guys it was you Europeans who killed and raped the country and split into so many tiny segments that one tribe had to fight the other .... sects in Africa is hte single biggest reason for war there and it was started by you and now you "righteously" call upon yourself to set it right ... what crap; the continent where life emerged is now where life is cheaper than anything! shame!
People killed in 9/11 ...? 5000 at max; ppl killed in Iraq as a result of the war ... lets not even count; I am not belittling any event; its just crazy how ppl forget numbers
North Korea ... now thats a funny country; not enough food to feed even a quarter of the population; but our man wants not only the N Bomb but also the speed boats to show off to Japan ...
Islamic terrorists ... dont even want to start on that topic
Have you read the similarity between Christainity and Islam; both have Adam & Eve; both have Abrahim and hte slaying of his eldest son; both talk of Moses and both have religious shrines in Jerusalem; now I'm not even a well read guy in religion but its funny right ... too many imporant coincidents in such a vastly opposing way of life

Anyways my arse hurst as I am sitting on a stool; so catch you later!

Hasta Manana!
