Day 66b: On a lighter note, a true story. Earlier today, I had a meeting with someone I havent seen for a while. In a classic Hong Kong manner, he took one look at me and said with a concerned tilt of the head, Jason, did you put on weight? He isnt from Hong Kong, but he clearly has been living here too long. He went on to say, Its your face. Have you stopped going to the gym or something? I gave a fake laugh and said, Its my shirt-- (I was wearing a tie) the collar must have pushed all the blood to my head. So brilliantly scientific, yet so pathetically defensive. What I really wanted to say is that I may not be an underwear model, but I dont think Im fat. And even if I were, that would have been because I had stopped going to the gym since the protest started 2 months ago. I didnt have the time and I had been eating McDonalds and free candy bars at the site. Those would have been my umbrella pounds. And guess what I did tonight? Yes, I went to the gym instead of going to Admiralty. Moral of the story: if CY Leung wants to clear Admiralty, just start telling people they are fat. #OccupyCentral #UmbrellaRevolution #HongKong
