Aug. 27th, 2010 09:56 amDay 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
( Lovin You by 周柏豪 )
So... this is some CantoPop. Three guesses as to where this reminds me of :)
The answer to this is Hong Kong of course. It's not that I particularly like this song (or ANY CantoPop really) but it sure is freakin' EVERYWHERE. I mean, this song and several others as well, and some Western music besides. Just like here, really. There are some songs you just can't escape unless you like... live in a cave or something. When you're a tourist? You most certainly are not hanging out in caves. So I very well might have been subjected to more CantoPop than the average resident of Hong Kong, because of courseI was always out and around and going places and seeing things. And like I said we did a LOT of socializing in Hong Kong because suddenly it was easy again! Because people speak English (or really like to try!) in Hong Kong. And besides there are British people there, and British pubs and stuff, but they're British people who have lived their entire lives in Hong Kong. And that's pretty fascinating too.
Finding this song on youtube? Not all that easy, lol. Fortunately it's got some English lyrics so eventually I was able to track it down. And that's Cantonese he sings in, so of course I don't even understand any of the words besides the English ones.
So... the thing about traveling around is that sometimes you pick up extra people. Which is good, because it's more fun, and you can share accommodations and stuff. And Hong Kong is expensive, so, that is a very good thing. And it's pretty cool to experience new things right along with someone else, who is coming at it with a totally different perspective than you are because they're from a different culture - from yours AND from where you are.
But... this also means that it can be hard to find some time to be alone. You know. ALONE. Like a boyfriend and girlfriend like to be. BUT. There are hotels where you can rent a room by the hour, oh yes there are :P
And so. There is one totally unforgettable night in Hong Kong, that started with a dinner out (of British food, with British people) and continued to a night club (which was... crazy... for lack of a better word to describe it) and degraded into wandering around in the middle of the night, me and B wandering away from the group, renting a hotel room (for an hour) and then... I mean by that time? It was like five in the morning. And this song was playing in the taxi that was taking us back to the place we were staying.
