Summer vacation plans!?

Post by Yi-Long »

What are all you guys gonna do this summer!? what are your plans and what are your goals!?

I'll be in Hong Kong this summer (Yayyy!!! :D), enjoying very cheap McDonalds meals and watching the scenery from The Peak.
I'll be going there with my girlfriend for 5 weeks, and hopefully my friends will also be there at the same time (One said he'll be there, the other said he'll try...)
Really looking forward to buying some good quality cheap DVDs, and perhaps some Dreamcast games...

My goal is to get back in shape. The main problem is that my groing keeps gettig injured. It has happened too often now that I got back into the splits, only to then pull a muscle 2-3 days later which sets me straight back... :(
Doing lots of ab-workouts and punching workouts right now, though...
And I still have 2 or 3 months to get the kicks back in shape... (although I doubt I'll ever be as flexible again as I once was... :'( )

If I do get back into my old shape, I might try out for some stunt-work or movie-work or whatever... although I certainly won't waste my whole vacation begging for some chance on a breakthrough or anything ;)
If they want me, I'll be there, and if they don't, I'll be at the peak getting a burger :D

Before I'm off to HK though, I'll be at my girlfriends house for about 3 weeks orso, cause she'll be home alone. Actually, she wont even be home since she has to go to work, but she wants me there when she gets home, so I'll be in her house all alone... so I'm planning on bringing my xbox with me and doing some serious gaming (GTA San Andreas will be out, plus Ill have jade Empire and Pro Evo to keep me busy as well... :) )

Surely someone with your talent will get their own movie? :wink:

I think it's the heavy weight of my 'wang' that's the real cause of the damage... ;)

Yeah, you'd think they would have better talented casting-directors, but so far, they've somehow managed to overlook the sheer brilliance and the incredible screenpresence that's clearly within me... ;)
Buncha amateurs!

working :( my 24 days a week leave are generally spent with 1 week off in November, one week around new years then just 2-3 day mini breaks scattered throughout the year. We run summer schools during the summer so its technically the busiest time of the year for us.

Surely there is something to do in HK? It's not completely a city right?

Don't you get bored of going to the same place. I would. I like to go to different places. There are so many places I want to visit you see. I think of a new one almost every week :D

I really want to go to Japan this year especially after I turned down my JET placement because of my career. The problem is non of my mates can aford to go with me!! So I'm left contemplating going by my self which is a bit sad I know but is that a good option? Also whats a good guide book on Japan? I'd love to get feed back off people who have been.

Oh, man... at least take the opportunity to alternate those with a few decent meals of nice local food. Try asking locals and go for half-hidden places in secondary streets. Better yet, ask for advice down at AsianDVDGuide before you go, some HKers posting there.
Ow don't worry - I WILL! :) That's what I did 4 years ago and what I will do now. I used to get hot buns in the morning, and ate them on the tram... untill i found out ur not supposed to eat in there...

If your ass isn't as injured as your groin, you can always try wearing a blonde wig and applying as a hot european babe for a CAT3 flick. [/quote] That COULD work... if my name was MarkGWay! :p

Especially when wearing that blonde wig and bending over for five minutes will do the trick.[/quote] Just 5 minutes!? There are self-help books for that... Something you wanna share with us!? ;)
Seriously, no plans here although it's still early, and I do kinda envy you. Have a good one 8)
Thanks man... less then 2 months to go... :)

Well fro teh summer, I'm taking my girlfriend to visit Scotland for a long weekend in August, as she's never been there before... and that'll be our first proper trip away together...

but then just after summer here I'm going to be going travelling to New Zealand, and then working and travelling around there for up to a year, so as that encompasses the NZ summer, I guess that counts as well!!

I'm gonna get 2 summers in a row! Yay! And depending on when I come back, I might get 3!
