[This morning Hong Kong went to the Post Office to trade in a regain for another one...

Mayfield was kind enough to provide decorations... But are they enough? Of course not.

Hence anyone passing by 767 Bunker Street on Wednesday evening will be treated to this- not in any way over the top or slightly tacky- spectacle... Every thirty minutes!

[and he was BLIIIIIIIIINDED BY THE LIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT-

enough to fall off his bike, which is incidentally loaded up with packages of cake...oh and it doesn't help that a bunch were strapped to his back, too. SO YEAH brb falling into the snow.]

AIYAAAAH!

[scentofbauhinia]

[now really, what is with all the car and bike crashes happening outside his house this evening? it makes no sense...

oh look it's teacher... o-okay that's pretty funny, but doing the good son thing and coming over to see if he's alright and hasn't busted a hip or something]

Teacher? Are you okay?

[peonymarket]

[t...trying to get to his knees...y-your brodad is old okay]

...aiyaaah...

[scentofbauhinia]

[he can smell cake...

BUT FOCUS HONG KONG

offers a hand to help him up]

...You should be more careful at your age.

[peonymarket]

[ffffffuuuu okay fine, takin' dat hand...hk just earned himself some free cake huffhuff

brushes snow off his old man knees]

Your- your flashy toy blinded me!

[scentofbauhinia]

[only ever helpful for the food, bro]

It's not a toy. It's a Christmas tree. Y'know, like the ones indoors. [well, a 30ft tall flashy monstrosity that's meant to look a bit like a skyscraper at the same time... but whatever, still a tree!!]

[peonymarket]

[flabbergasted hand flailing]

Barbaric eyesore! Waste of space! Pointless western symbol!

....is not even organic!

[scentofbauhinia]

[hahaha... oh god brodad you have no idea. best to keep the snapshots of his house in 2010 a secret then, you might have a coronary at the skyscraper laser light show by the harbour that happens every night]

The tourists like it. And it's placed in Central right next to all the big shops, so they come to see the tree and then end up buying stuff.

[peonymarket]

[more like THREE CORONARIES

still, he suddenly looks thoughtful; he's not commie yet, so monies is awwwwww right]

Ahhh....how underhandedly clever.

[scentofbauhinia]

[praise... was that praise? it kind of sounded like praise to him anyway... and he wouldn't exactly get that from commie China in his time after saying such a thing...

he may not act like it, but he does want to make brodad proud okay ;u;] ...You think so?

[peonymarket]

At home, had to drop taxes sometimes to get people to participate in market! So finding ways around that very good very good, should try....[staring off into space, THINKING OF EXPANDING ECONOMY]

[scentofbauhinia]

Don't remember any of that. I remember I was just fishing and trading salt and stuff... [he looks thoughtful himself for a moment, before remembering something]

What are all those packages for?

[peonymarket]

Well, you baby then. I don't expect you to remember everything.

[rubs chin]

Cakes.

[scentofbauhinia]

For you? [yes... he would consider having that many for yourself completely normal... NOT A FATTY.......]

[peonymarket]

Some, but mostly for customers.

[LOOKS AT YOU FOR A MOMENT.....nah he's not mean enough to charge famirry yet]

Can have some at no cost, if like.

[scentofbauhinia]

[LOOKS SUSPICIOUS, WHAT IS FREE... but then pleased] Okay. But, like, don't use that as excuse to give me squished or dented ones.

...Give those to Japan.
