In town and this little teenage girl comes up to me and shyly says "I have seen you before. You go to Seven Rubies. Are you going again this year?"
I have NO idea what she's talking about but I respect her courage for coming up to talk to a stranger especially when her English is so poor so "Yes, I think so." I reply.
"It's such crazy fun. I love it so much."
OK, key words "crazy fun" and I get it: HK7s. Rugby. This weekend.
"Yes, it's always such crazy fun. Are you going this year?"
"Yes, I work at Seven Rubies. My job is with Carlsberg Beer. I am a go-go girl Carlsberg promoter."
So, yes, of course she'll have fun. Those girls wear mini skirts and white go-go boots and bring around massive skeins of beer. I think I have photos, only I won't look for one now. No time.
Later: Couldn't find any Carlsberg Gogo Girls but here's a Guiness Girl to give you some idea.
But still, I have no idea how or why our little Carlsberg Gogo Girl would notice me. Or maybe it's because she's one of the girls in the photo. And I had no idea the Chinese call it "Seven Rubies".
Mmm, wonder what all those international hordes of tough macho rugger-buggers would make of their sport being called A Ruby Game.
