Joined a gym for the week. Gyms here are awesome. Very high tech, have wonderful locker rooms. The gym to which I have a free week-long pass even has a DVD library so that you can watch any hit TV show of the past 10 years or watch a movie while you run (if you're feeling REALLY ambitious). There is also a machine which is usually found at hospitals. If you stand on it and hold a few sensors for two minutes, it will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and didn't want to know) about your physical fitness and composition--even how proportional your physique is. Trainers can analyze it and suggest which exercises would benefit you most.
Second thought of the day: there is a typhoon approaching. Still far off shore (250 km). Apparently they are a common occurrence.
Speaking of gyms and typhoons, my third and final thought is that I am using the metric system a lot here. In fact, I am using math a lot in day to day actions, which is a good thing after my summer break. Dividing Hong Kong Dollars by 7.7 (to convert currency) all the time and calculating km/hr at the gym will hopefully help get me ready for work....smirk.
