Another Evening With Bruce...

After a late night on friday, i decided to force myself to get some exercise on saturday evening.  as you guys may recall,  after i moved from the New Territories down to Kowloon, I left my bicycle in the NT and on weekends I go up and ride it around and leave it locked up at a train station until the next time.  I try to do it every weekend, but these past two months i've only been able to go a few times. 

Last time i left it in Shatin and i wanted to get a decent ride in so I rode north along the KCR line (now i guess its the 'light blue MTR line' since the two transportation companies merged). :-P

I got up to Taipo and decided 'keep going!'  so even though it was dark i did the treacherous route the rest of the way to Fanling station.  I hadn't been up this far since the summer, but it was good to get out and ride.  Total distance was 12.5 miles! (thats 20 km!)  woot!

土曜日晩僕は新界で自転車の運動しました、シャティンからフェンリングまで乗りました。全部20キロメーターですよ!終わる時足疲れた!

Yes, you may notice a crudely written 'China' on that map with an arrow.. since I was only two stops away, I decided to finally make use of my renewed China visa and made a 'run for the border'.

I used to come to Shenzhen almost once a week, but now w/ the new job and expired visa, I hadn't been since August. 

But I knew my legs would be killing me after 12 miles, so I decided to take advantage of Shenzhen's absurdly cheap massage...

運動一杯したから、中国のシンゼン市の近いから、電車で中国まで入境行った、国境 の近くにマッサージ所一杯がある、とても安い!(今回2時間は~900円だけ!)でも香港出た後、まだ晩御飯食べませんと思いました。中国の綺麗レストラン見つければなりません!駅の中のマックへ行きたかった。。。安全し、速し。。。

but once i got across the border I realized i had forgotten to eat dinner... i've never eaten at any of the restaurants near the border station, so I followed a sign pointing to the new McDonalds in the Shenzhen train station (which is all fancy now compared to the last time i went in there a few years back). 

But when I got to the McD i saw a strange sight: マックの隣面白い中国の料理ファストフードレストランがありました:

huh? ’真功夫’? 'Real Kungfu'?  Let's take a closer look.... 何ですか?

Some kind of weird Bruce Lee fast food chain?   Actually the guy in the logo looks a bit more like Roger Fan than the real Bruce... not even as close as Danny Chan...   ブルース・リーレストランですか?本物?無断転載とおもいますよ。。。あまりブルースをみたくない。

I'm sure you're wondering how they could get away w/ using Bruce's picture in a fast food restaurant, maybe that's why the picture doesn't look exactly like him...  but wait, let's look inside:

Doh,  yeah thats definitely Bruce...  total rip-off.  Linda Lee must be sharpening her WTO complaint as we speak! :-P

これは100%ブルースですね。多分もすぐ彼の寡婦は訴訟事件をします!

(i didn't want to eat there because it was just chinese style fast food, and it was almost empty... so i decided to play it safe and stick w/ McD).

it is, but its still somewhat reasonable (~300-400 yen for a meal). when i am in china i eat at McD because its generally safer than eating in some local places... the menu is standard and you know you're not going to get food poisoning (probably!) :-P

I've seen those Kung Fu places quite a bit in Shanghai and Beijing. I think it's a national chain. Been around at least for the past 2 years or so.
