Iron Man

10 May 2010 - The one thing I do not like to do is ironing. Yet, it seems a routine that forever and ever comes back. I am sure I ironed my shirts last weekend, but a depressing pile of wrinkled clothes is growing in the not-so-hidden corner of my study. Its like going around and around and around in circles. You iron your shirts - you wear them and wash them, and before you know it you find yourself behind the iron-board again. I know iron-free shirts exist, but somehow they also come wrinkled out of the laundry. To my surprise I learned that a sport called "extreme ironing" exits. its a sport (?) that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt. I hereby invite the athletes to Hong Kong.
