The Diary of a Frog in Hong Kong @leahjetdewavrin - Tumblr Blog

I am trying to fundraiser some money for my trip to Thailand in April, I am planning to go and volunteer for 2 weeks to rehabilitate elephants who were abused for tourists entertainment, this is such a good cause! I am putting $692 from my pocket but I need an extra $1000! Please help me and share this! Thank you! http://www.gvnfundraising.org/fundraise?fcid=297160

Sugarless Gummy Bears Are Not Safe for Humans

There has been lots of talk on the internet lately about Haribo sugarfree gummy bears and how they make you make shit like a madman. According to these detailed Amazon reviews, just a handful of the bears can cause an immediate evacuation of the gastrointestinal tract. There are 53 pages of reviews on Amazon, each one topping the last with a story of gummy-fueled diarrhea nightmares. “Gastric exorcism at 30,000 feet,” a reviewer named I Like Cheese wrote. “Don’t use the bathroom on a Delta flight. That stench is from me, seven years ago.”

I’m no avid Amazon shopper or reader of online reviews, but I’ve scanned my share and have never seen anything close to the kind of in-depth reporting that’s found on the Haribo sugarfree gummy bear Amazon reviews page. The metaphors are akin to something the poet John Donne would have written with after a particularly stinging shit.

"Gastric exorcism?" "Liquid razorblades?" I wasn’t buying it. This whole thing seemed like a stupid internet hoax—an excuse for people to pen elaborate fictions about their somewhat irregular but ultimately harmless gummy bear-induced shits. The reporter in me knew what had to be done. I bought a few pounds of the day-glo bears at a candy store in Manhattan and found myself in the VICE offices late last Saturday night, shoving handfuls in my mouth, determined to find out the truth.

Genius.

HK, Phone less and Home less. Ish.

ARGH. Still no smart phone or a proper house of my own!!!

Getting v impatient now, living out of my suitcases has been fun for 6 months (not.), having to travel with my laptop (which does not work properly) everywhere to get my emails or in fact any connection with the outside world, is all very well but could do with a house and a normal phone.

Anyway that is why I am so bad at writing etc.

And at least I am getting to know the sweet bars to get a pint in the late afternoon (or early pm at that!).

HK here I am!

Ok so I am going to try and keep an healthy amount of posts this time as this is meant to be my diary on day to day basis to what I do in Hong Kong.

At the moment to be perfectly honest, not much!

Apart from enjoying the extremely beautiful vista of the Harbour at the Mandarin oriental hotel. Tough life eh?

But they say of Honkers, it is a play hard, work hard city. Hmmmmmmm, Interesting.

I am joking, I think for once I am actually really excited about things moving in my life, my plans are to turn everything over by doing something I really love which is work in fashion still obviously, but doing my own brand! Yay!

The process won't be easy of course, but golly I am excited!

So here it is, the diary of a Frenchie moving to HK to start up her Sunglasses Kingdom!

I went on a boat on Sunday too, I could reqally get use to this.

ps: I want to do more sort of reportage kind of posts but sadly my laptop is from WW1 and I need to get a new one to then be able to post pics from my camera. Be patient!
