grappas and how the chinese didn’t get it, papa and business colleages

society along w magic competitions, went to ask for a claw for my
conga and got the once over then rejection, a good sign is when u run
into all sorts of ppl when you’re out, bus took a wrong turn that
never happens, walked up a rando street between wellington and soho
and saw a family arguing over closing down their shop in canto,
androgynous dress style, ten hours to give easy directions, speak
english before putonghua, hk is diverse in terms of experience (give s
