Hong Kong Day 4 - Well worth it

It's late in the afternoon and I just got off my ride on the Duke Ling. Which is a boat. I ran into Doug, which is a young man I keep running into on these daily tours. He was on the going, as I was on the coming ride. After a little chat with him I began to wander on. Not sure what to do next and feeling a bit board I continued to stroll singing along. There was a man from India walking sort of along side me. I noticed him energetically and wondered why he hung kind of parallel to me until he moved forward a bit. The next thing I know he turns around and tells me I'm a very lucky lady. Which he preceded to tell me over and over again. So as he is talking I keep wondering what he is selling me or where he was going to take me to buy something. He continues to talk. He wanted to see my hand. So I show him. He tells me I am going to live a very long life. Someone in my life has died of disease or sickness, but I am going to live a very long life. Probably around 95. May I see your hand again? So I show him my hand. In the mean time he keeps talking and I am straining to understand him. One, his accent is very heavy, and two he is talking very fast. He tells me just about right off the top that God wanted me to you. Meaning him to meet me. That is why he stopped. So far he is making a lot of sense to me and I am not surprised, and I am also still wondering where the catch is.
I have a very big heart he says. I help many people, but I am not helped by many. God helps me. I have to agree. I'm still looking at him with a smile on my face in awe, in entertainment, in wonder, and waiting for the catch.
I kept thinking of Farhana's step dad and how he just knows things. And since this is much of how I live my life I'm not surprised by what is happening either. He continues. He writes down things on pieces of paper. Rolls them in little balls, and then gives them to me to hold in my hand. So then he begins to ask me questions. Magic maybe - maybe not. After I answer his questions he tells me to open my hand. Take the little rolled up ball of paper and open it. He has the answers I gave him written on the paper.
He does it again. Still talking away. He tells me there are two men I am in love with. One will break my heart. Now this I didn't expect. I thought I'd be the one doing the heart breaking. He also told me I think too much.
Interestingly enough this past fall a psychic told me the same thing. She told me I'd have to choose between one of them, not one would break my heart. Again he has given me a rolled up piece of paper to hold in my hand. Asks me some more questions and then like magic tells me to blow on the little ball of paper in my hand and open it up, and there are the three answers I gave him.
Then the good part.
He says those with lots of money will pay me $600.00, average $400.00 and little money $200.00. Let's just say I'm glad I didn't have a lot of money on me, because he cleaned me out. I gave him $150.00. Which is about $20.00 Canadian. I was saying that is all I have. I offered him a $100.00 first and he saw the $50.00 and insisted I give him that too. I said you are going to take all my money? He said you have lots of money. I have seen it. ( the psychic also commented on this as well)
Then that wasn't enough, so he asked if I have any of my own currency on me. Interestingly enough I've been wondering why I've had this $20.00 bill on me, because it really doesn't do me any good as I'm not going to exchange only $20.00. Now I know why. He tells me that he wants my own currency because he will use it to pray for me. When he sees it he will remember my face and pray for me. He will pray for lots of love and romance and happiness. Seems everyone is asking this for me on my journey. You would be amazed at all the comments and prayers around that.
I ended up giving him the $20.00 as well.
It was worth every penny. I don't know that he told me anything I didn't already know other than not to eat chicken on Mondays. I couldn't understand why, but no more chicken on Monday was a definite. He reiterated that at the end.
Then he asked if I was coming to India. I said maybe. I would like to. So then he gave me his full name, the city, the phone numbers and said when I come to India I will have a free place to stay, good food, and he will take me about. The friendship is free too.
After that I was approached by a few Asian people. I think they were from Japan. Not sure why but they wanted their picture with me. I'm an easy king of girl so I said yes.
Then about a 1/2 hour later, a couple boys were doing a study for school, asked for some time and a picture. So I said yes.
My picture is all over the world.

So much for being board. It was great entertainment after that thought.

So here I am again at the computer. I think I am done with tasting pastries. They are lovely, but today I feel kind of sick. I am going back to fruit. I feel much better on fruit.
Oh, I was also talked into buying a tailor made suit. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do with a suit, since I never wear business suits anymore, oh that reminds me, Bob.. the Indian guy, also told me I was going to have a very big promotion. (I love that he signed his sheet Boob) I hope that means more easy money, because promotion sounds like work to me. Regardless, the suit, I decided to go for because I told Darren and Dave that they have full permission to tell me to up my wardrobe when I get back. I'm tired of looking like a garbage bag used twice.
Hong Kong is known for it's tailored attire.
If it looks as good as it could, I may get them to do more for me before I leave. It's not cheap, but it is good quality.

Thought for the day:
Adventuring is really easy.. get on a plane.
