Eating fishballs and contemplating life

Hong Kong is a busy place. Busy meaning- theres no time to stop and think. People are always on the go. Doing things- selling things, buying things, eating things, looking at things, waiting in line for things, walking to other places to do other things.

So today, as I was about to go home after walking aimlessly around Wan Chai, and I saw this tiny snack stand next to the subway station with a long line of people. How could I resist? I was a little scared of food poisoning since the stand didnt look that clean, and I saw a fly buzzing around, but there was a line of people so it had to be ok right? They offered fish balls, lobster balls, pork balls, some type of intestine lol, shui mai, hot dogs, and much more.

I ordered fish balls in spicy sauce. Only 6 hkd. It's a simple food, but sometimes the most delicious foods are the simplest to make. The whole street was crowded with people and I wanted to find a peaceful place to enjoy my snack. I ended up turned the corner and sat down on a bench that said do not sit.

I sat down anyways and enjoyed my fishballs while watching the hectic atmosphere surrounding me. In front of me, the street was crowded with taxis and busses, people walking left and right. I couldn't help but feel small and insignificant in such a huge mass of people, in such a diverse and populous city. But then right after feeling that way, I realized that I should appreciate all my time in HK and enjoy every moment that I have. As I let the whole atmosphere envelope me; eating fishballs and people watching; my mind wondering about what my future has in store for me; I realized then that that very moment would be another cherished memory in Hong Kong :D
Then, I got up and realized that I sat in a big puddle of water. HAHAH my butt was wet the whole way back on the subway.
Life is full of suprises.
