My run-in with the ubiquitous Fly Brother

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND


I was reading all my favourite blogs earlier on today and came across Mr. Fly Brother’s post about his recent house-warming party-turned-virtual carnival (he was expecting 15 people and 40 showed up, due to the networking genius known as CouchSurfing). As I chuckled over the party’s unexpected popularity and turned slightly green-eyed over FB’s newest adventure (he’s now based out of Brasilia, Brazil), I remembered that I forgot to mention that wayyyyy back in the month of October I had to the chance to meet him in the flesh. Yes, I met the ubiquitous Fly Brother (who was, at the time, quite literally everywhere- I met up with him in person on the Asia leg of his Hong Kong trip)! He was here for about 4 days and we met up on a few occasions and I attempted to show him around Hong Kong the best I knew (though, at the time, I had only lived here for about two months and thus didn’t know much about the city, myself)!

From Causeway Bay, to Central, and across the water to Kowloon, he was on the move, and I tagged along happily, sometimes offering advice and nascent expertise with regards to what to do and see, as the de-facto tour guide. I took him to my favourite Vietnamese place in bustling Causeway and convinced him to come with me to get some cheap breakfast eats at my favourite American-style restaurant in Soho. I followed him to check out the only Capoeira studio in Hong Kong (run by an Asian-looking Brazilian whose name I’ve forgotten). We navigated Sheung Wan on the tram, elbowed our way through the masses of people in the MTR (metro), and relaxed and took in the Hong Kong skyline at night on the Star Ferry. Hanging with Fly Brother was cool beans, hell, he even came shopping with me at one point (thanks Bro)! Roll dawg status for realz!

Here’s to meeting bloggers outside of the blogosphere!
If anybody finds themselves passing through Hong Kong, don’t hesitate to contact a sista. I’ll be glad to see you.
