Discriminationin Hong Kong

Saw this when I was waiting for the boat.  Pretty amazing for a place in China. 

Monday Night Malay/Singapore Dinner

Had dinner with Alyssa tonight at a little Malaysia/Singapore place in Sheung Wan.

Overall, I give the food a "not bad".  The Laksa was pretty good,but, the Chicken Rice was a bit disappointing.

Workout of the day (x2)

Morning: Today was suppose to be a long run day, but, it was just too hot.  Managed 5 times around the track or 6.9km in 44min before I stopped.

Afternoon:  Did another hero workout today.  Tyler is dedicated for 1LT Tyler E. Parten, 24, of Arkansas, died Sept. 10 in Konar province, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when insurgents attacked his unit using rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire. He was assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 61st Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colorado.

5 rounds for time:

7 muscle ups (since I can’t do muscle ups… 21 pullups, 21 ring dips)
21 #95 Sumo deadlift highpull.

This workout was pure hell for me.  Blisters ripped off on my hands and I was already tired from the morning run.  Stuck with it and finished in 49m20s.  Yikes.

Return of the crossfit hands….

Big Mac Trade

Decided to try out a trade from the Big Mac index I talked about yesterday.  I like the long RMB here but being short Euro given how awful the outlook is for the USD doesn’t feel right.  PPP is a long long term concept so I’ll see how this looks in 1 year.  I don’t pay any commissions for stock trades so this little experiment costs nothing.  EUO is a 2x short which is why the delta$ is only 50 bucks.
