The result of a week long shopping frenzy, interrupted only by a Springsteen concert (during which I shopped for Springsteen merch) is that my bags are going to be about 20 pounds overweight for the return flight – and that’s with putting a lot of stuff into my carry-on bag. I was 20 pounds underweight for the LA to NYC flight – that means I got somewhere between 30 and 40 pounds of stuff while here? Doesn’t seem possible.

Yet, as an example, bought 4 pairs of Levi’s today. Yes, Levi’s are available in every shopping mall in HK – but they’re about 50% cheaper here. Anyway, those four pairs of pants alone are ten pounds. So add on a few books, a few magazines, a few DVDs, half a dozen t-shirts, eventually it all adds up.

Well, anyway, I leave here early afternoon Wednesday NY time, arrive back in HK Thursday night HK time. Looking forward to getting home.
