I dun had my very first ever real Mexican standoff (is this racist to say?) with Happy Vally bus #1 today. And goddamnit, i lost!! The first bus very rudely sped off without ever hitting 0 MPH. The second one, in my reality, never showed up. I waited and waited for an eternity, but that bus knew it was dealing with one of the most unpatient little asian girls ever. I wanted to win so bad. But I guess not bad enough...I finally said F it, hopped in a cab and never looked back...for fear of that #1 bus trailing immediately behind.
Anyways, as they say all things happen for a reason! I now know the origins of said Mexican standoff.
I then stopped by a fruit stand to buy some cherries (which i decided almost two years ago would be my new favorite fruit after gorging on them during my week-long quality time with moms before I deserted her for asia. only then did i really realize how meaty they are). I mindlessly accepted $80 HKD for 1lb of cherries to be an alright deal. That's $10 USD. I only had $40 on me so I said give me half a lb. After removing a few cherries to balance it out, the lady handed me a bag with 10 cherries (approximately). That's $5 USD - though I'm sure you got that. They weren't even polished and perfect. There was bruising going on for sure. So after mumbling under my breath a bit, I sheepishly said i didn't want them anymore that they were too expensive. To my surprise the lady took them back! Very unlike HK (good moment there). Though, she did so not without the matching of the mumbling under the breath.
