And I am gonna go to Jordan basically where my hotel was last time so today
I got a couple of video ideas playing around this area. Let's head over there and
Maybe try to get something to eat
When I bought this luggage in Taiwan, oh my god, the humidity just hit me when I bought the luggage in Taiwan
I saw a video where they actually ran it over with a car. Holy humid Hong Kong
Wow, it's like I just took a shower. Oh, it's just nasty
Okay, I can't just wander the streets this this is unwonderable this condition is unacceptable
Let's just get to my hotel first and we'll figure this whole thing out
And I do want to mention it's super hot and humid, but this is 7 a.m. In the morning
So only gonna get worse from here. Yay. There's my bus. Hopefully air-conditioned
Yay, front row. Oh
Also, I forgot to mention about my customs experience. It's the second time in Hong Kong first time
I told you guys went through customs the guy didn't say a word to me
Didn't ask me why I was here who I was here to see or what am I doing here?
Just let me right through this time same thing didn't talk to me
Took a look at my passport blah blah blah done stamp not a word go through not why you're here
Not what you're here to do business for pleasure. No, you don't need to ask that quickest custom process ever
Maybe it's because I have such a trusting face
Never been so happy to feel it air-conditioning in my life. I'm at my hotel it is
730 awesome drop on my backs. I'm gonna go film a video and then I'm gonna go get a suit made
If you can't tell I am drenched and just finish my steam milk video. It's only 930 still
We're gonna go get a suit made. I'm on Carnavon Road and there's a lot of tailors on this block
But I'm here to see these guys Simpsons
St. Taylor
Because I saw this
Anthony Bourdain show and they look pretty legit and I've researched them on Yelp. Everyone likes them
So we are gonna go get a suit made in Hong Kong. I hear that's like the best place in the world to do it
Hi

Get a suit made
Possibly 870 870 and this is this is only about 705 705
But this is better much better then let's do much better. Good. So you got to know these are two different types of black
What's your name, sir? Roman Roman. Nice to meet you. This is Roman. You're on the Anthony Bourdain when he came in, right?
Another another gentleman, but you're gonna be on my show. Okay, so you saying this is this is the less black
This is more black and this this does feel like more flowy
In the market seldom you can see what can I wear this to what can I wear this to
Like what like my friend told me he doesn't he told me he told me he's like black suits
You only wear it to like funerals and that stuff like that. Well, like can I wear this to weddings now Asian people?
Yeah, black is most useful suit. You can wear, you know for going to a party
But I
Like black myself. Yeah
Six black suits you have six black suits. I don't even have one right now
Okay, I definitely need this then yeah, this will be great same high quality tailoring my circuit better
Yeah, I might as well. Absolutely. I'm in Hong Kong once probably not back for a long time

So that's that's me. I mean, that's I'm just saying. Yeah, that's what it's gonna look like
All right, so how do we get started

No, I don't like straight little slim down great, but not too teeny on the bottom
Okay, sounds like a good plan. All right, and one more items you have to choose. You have make up your own decision

Let's check it out. Oh
Views pretty nice got the mountains over there. They keep it really cold. Ooh
Personal letter dear guests. We hope you blah blah blah
Enjoy the stay what I like about this hotel. Same with my last hotel. I
Get a free little Wi-Fi device to carry around with me that saves so much trouble
You don't have to do international data. Oh, this bathroom is so nice
Wow, this hotel is really nice actually
Okay, that lights up your whole hotel
I don't know what this I see
See what that does here?
I'm not sure what that does. Oh

ambience lighting
Okay, I don't know how I feel about Oh God
Okay
that curtain closes because I don't know how I feel about like if I have people over and
If you're on a toilet like people can see you I don't I'm really
Don't know how I feel about that. Wow. This place is really for couples who have no boundaries and no issues of privacy
I mean this really not bathtub
But like who who is the first hotel I've ever been to that has a bathtub that you can literally see
from the bed, I mean
as just so
And say whoa, look at all that that's so pretty that's what I love about Asian hotels they give you a lot of amenities
Like
Dental kits. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and I bet you they gave you I bet you they gave me

Shoe sponge love this in a scale just in case you eat too much
You want to make yourself feel bad? My luggage was delivered up to the room so far
This hotel has been really really awesome Wow kudos for this
You can use American plugs here last hotel was that had to go buy one off the street
But this hotel thinks of everything. This is the spare room, but we're really sets it apart is
The crazy view look at this
That's a harbor over there
that's
Another harbor over there. There's Kowloon and there's Hong Kong right across the bay there
I mean, I used to think my gym in New York had the best view but this definitely beats that by a lot
The second room is kind of a aerobics room
Bunch of bouncy balls and some free weights and again sick view
Hey, there's a pink building there Wow
Such a very Hello Kitty esque color
back for my remeasurement
All right, so my pants after a few hours I'm gonna do the second measurement on the pants you can see
Yeah, be careful. This is only very easy to know. Yeah
Okay, all right sounds good
This is 10% done right now
My right arm's too big
Not that
This is a street sleeveless suit, you know, so I should invent that a true fear on suit one side for winter
What's that exactly?
You it's not easy to laying right
Yeah, no, really food. Cheers. My my my boobs are massive
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, he didn't believe I had that big of a chest. Yeah
We said it yeah Asians don't bench as much exactly
