Fell up the escalators today while I was rushing to work. Good thing I wasn't going down. It was a combination of little things that made me trip. Reading while walking, wearing sandals, other hand holding carton of milk, late for work, and general klutziness. I've trip over my own two feet on a perfectly flat surface. Unfortunately, being in HK, surrounded by HKers, nobody bothered to help me up when I plastered myself across several steps of the escalator. It was rush hour so you can imagine how many people were around to witness this oh-so-embarassing moment. Several people took a sharp intake of breath in surprise, while someone else said "waaaah!". Well there is an upside to this incident, I managed to prevent my face from contact with the spikey metal steps by breaking my fall with my arms (my hands were full at the moment, refusing to let go of the magazine and milk). My sandals didn't fall off, that would have been much more embarassing, having to go after my sandals. I escaped with only a few bruises and a scratch. No bleeding. And I made it to work on time!
