Happy New Discovery 開 心 大 發 現
騎 呢 大 狀 返 到 嚟! Yeah, I'm back from my trip to the East Coast. I've been back for one week but have been buried with work. As soon as I get a chance, I will blog about my impressions from the trip.
Every Wednesday evening, I go to my health club (24 Hour Fitness) for a 60-minute cycling class. I look forward to it all week. Not only does the class have the hottest instructor that I have ever seen, but it also gives a strenuous but fun workout with cool music.
Before going to the class tonight, I went on the 24 Hour Fitness website just to be sure that the class had not been cancelled and that my favorite instructor would be there. Something caught my eye. It was a button that read "International Locations." When I clicked on it, the first country listed was Hong Kong:

What a great discovery! When I go to 沙 田 Shatin next year to study Cantonese, I should be able to use my existing membership to go to the clubs in 旺 角 Mong Kok or 紅 磡 Whampoa (Hunghom). That's almost like using them for free. I may even be able to attend some cycling, weight training, or other classes, which should be a cool experience, especially if they do the classes in Cantonese.
While I'm in HK for 2 or 3 months, I plan some outdoor workouts, too. I have made contact with a potential jogging partner who likes to jog barefoot. Supposedly, there are lots of jogging trails around Shatin. Then there's a hidden trail from 半 山 區 Bowen Road to 灣 仔 峡 Wanchai Gap that I would like to trail jog, at least part of it. The thing I don't know is whether the heat and humidity will be so intense that I will not be able to stand outdoor workouts. If so, at least I can work out indoors at the above clubs. ¶ 9:00 PM
