Day 45

I haven't been writing much lately. Not because I don't have time, but because nothing new has happened to me, really. One interesting thing is that me and a partner of mine that I met here just sent a sample phone to Gambia to test its marketability. We have it on good word (from people currently living in Gambia) that it can fetch twice its asking price in Hong Kong.

The next most interesting thing, and the main reason why I'm writing today, is because today apparently there was a fire at Chungking Mansions. This is a huge place of business for the area where I live, Tsim Sha Tsui, and the effects of this fire on the economy remain to be seen. Apparently there have been medical evacuations and some property damage, but no further casualties. I might update later with more information if the situation is crazy. The fire is such a concern to me because, having lived in the area for almost 7 weeks, I have a lot of friends and business contacts in and around Chungking Mansions. It's the centre of TST.
