I am now at Hong Kong airport awaiting my connecting flight to San Francisco.
Tell me that statement didn't just make me a million times cooler!
Flight to Hong Kong was alright. Watched A Single Man albeit a heavily edited one. Although I'm pretty much thanking God it was edited because I got some uncomfortable during those close moments between the men especially since the old lady beside me kept looking at my screen.
I'm pretty sure this old lady pretty much hates me though. As I was watching my movie, she tapped me and kind of tried to communicate (in cantonese I assume) that she wanted to know how to operate the inflight entertainment system. So I'm helping her and I want to help her go to the HK cinemas section but I accidentally go to the 'New Releases' section and it starts playing 'A Serious Man' and she was like 'Yay I got a movie to play' (Again, assuming) and takes control of the remote. I tell her that there's Hong Kong cinema available but she starts watching the movie anyway. Without her headphones. Then I kind of like point to her earphones to gently suggest that she should use it cause you can't hear anything what. Obviously she doesn't understand me and smiles. So I'm like haha okay don't know what to do.
So for like 2 hours,this poor lady is watching A Serious Man without sound. LOL. Wished I accidentally played Avatar or something- it would have looked prettier at least?
Landing is such a bitch though. I feel like tearing my ears apart and throwing them out. It's so freaking uncomfortable.
Anyway, I think Cantonese is quite a beautiful-sounding language, when used appropriately.
