Another expat milestone crossed off the list - I attended an international sporting event! We went to see Chelsea (English soccer team) play Kitchee (Hong Kong soccer team) at Hong Kong Stadium. While maybe not as exciting as eating hot pot in TST or haggling over DVDs and fake Vuitton bags in Shenzhen, it deserves a blog posting.
Rather than go into some long post about how hot it was (BEYOND; never sweated so much in my life; whole place smelled like a dirty gym sock) or how hard it was to use the British vernacular (it's football, not soccer; a pitch, not a field; and a match, not a game), I will share with you what we encountered at the concession stand. We looked at the menu:
Five items. I like a simple menu with a few, straight-forward choices. And I was super psyched to see things like fried rice and Thai noodles on the menu next to the hot dogs and chicken nuggets.
Then we spotted these two signs hanging under the menu:
Fried Noodles Sold Out and Hot Dogs Sold Out. Got it.
Then we looked to the right and spotted another two signs:
Chicken Nuggets Sold Out and Fried Rice Sold Out.
Of course. Guess that leaves - let me see here...math has never been my strong suit....5-4 = 1, so just potato chips!
Did I mention this was BEFORE the game even started?!
