The next day after my evening out I was stuck on board since it was my duty day. I had originally tried to schedule a stores on load for today but that fell through. That left me with a fairly boring day watching various groups leave the ship while I was on watch as Officer of the Deck. I did get the chance to watch the port services like CHT collection, water and fuel delivery and trash pickup.
The next day I ended up finding a couple of Officers to go out with. They wanted to go shopping in some of the popular chain stores. I thought this would be a great opportunity to buy a few more fashionable cloths. Most of what I wear is common and starting to get old. We found a trendy store and I thought the prices were reasonable so I bought a couple of dress shirts. I was looking for a more expensive sports jacket but my size was too big for anything they carried. Just for laughs I decided to try on a suit. It actually fit me really well so I ended up buying my first suit. I now have clothing and various items from the Philippines, Singapore, Korea and Hong Kong in my collection.
I put on one of the new shirts just bought for a night out in town. Hong Kong has a random assortment of all cultures. Night is completely different from being out during the day. Good luck finding a taxi though. I still do not fit in all that well in nightclubs and bars so I found them a little boring. I am always open to new experiences and visiting new places so I just sat back and took it in. After a few hours it was time to call it quits and go back to the ship again.
