It's the neighbor's baby's party ...

I think my bed is right next to the baby's room next door. It cries all night long. I actually don't notice it as much as you'd think, but it has a way of working itself into my dreams. Each night, I dream, well, that I've had a baby and it won't stop crying. Not very original, I know.

I got up today to find that my entire face was covered by a ugly red rash. I totally wanted to cry. I told myself, "you're in a foreign country - who cares if you're ugly?" That worked until my interview that took place at high tea at the Marriott Hong Kong with a sales manager from a major competitor. He was easily the best looking person I've seen since I've been here. I wanted one of those Phantom of the Opera masks to hide my hideousness. Is that even a word?

My co-worker showed me how to get to Pacific Place, which I've really been wanting to go to. It was so nice. I can't wait to go shopping there. They have places I've never shopped at like Seibu.

Tonight is the first night that I can honestly say I'm a little lonely. Okay a lot lonely. I must have reeked from it, because I got propositioned four times on my way home. I had never seen so may prostitutes out as I did tonight. They always look so sad and bored - so I guess tonight we maybe had something in common.

I made dinner for myself (stir fry with prawns, baby corn, asparagus and zucchini - it was disgusting). I went to 7-11 afterward (surprisingly, that is the most major chain here - everyone goes there) to get water and ice cream too. I stopped by the soccer field by my house and watched the game for a little bit. They are sooo into soccer here. There are tons of little old men sitting around, smoking, watching the game. I actually wanted a cigarette too. I ate the ice cream instead. Like a depressed fat girl. I think I'll turn in early tonight. And suck my thumb or something.

Looks like I'll be in Tokyo for the majority of next week. Mmmm ... I could go for some good Japanese food.

Hey you. You know who you are. So are you ever going to respond to any of my emails?

That's awesome that you get to go to Tokyo!! Have some sashimi for me. Also, are you sure you didn't take one of those prostitutes up on their proposition because maybe thats where the rash came from. Love you and miss you.
