Free lunch

I once volunteered at a centre for homeless people in London. A homeless person told me, 'you will get 3 hot meals a day if you know where to go.'

The same applies to living in HK. There's always free, or discounted stuff if you know where and when to go. 所謂 '猛虎不及地頭蟲'. Even for dim sum...if you are seated after a certain time you get 10% off; if you leave before a certain time you get 15% off; if you go on a week day you get half price...so many times when I had dim sum with my grandpa, my aunts kept looking at their watches, 要像倒瀉籮蟹般趕, 很不爽.

I took advantage of the free one-week membership offered by The Gym Down The Road. I made it clear to them that there's no point selling me a full membership at the end of the trial period as I won't be in HK for long. That's fine they say.

So I have been using their treadmill, reading their paper, drinking their cream soda (not something you get in the UK) all for free. Hopefully that will get me to some kind of level of fitness.
