Hawaii in Hong Kong

24 May 2010 - I received an invitation for a fancy-dress party: Hawaii style. To come straight to the point: I really don't like fancy-dress parties. They are only suitable for ten years' olds or for the mentally retarded. I really wonder why people have to wear an outfit that looks ridiculous on them, and they would normally not be seen dead in. Once at the party venue, it may be nice to see everybody has made an effort, and it may lead to some hopeless hysterical laughs, but in the end I will just feel miserable. And the worse thing is that my picture in funny dress may end up on Facebook or another social media network. The good news is that I will be out of town on the party-date. Honestly!
