I want to have a common hobby with my bf

Is there any treatment you can have for your knee so that you can do some sports again? Maybe not squash, but hiking, golf driving range, running... If you really enjoy sport that much, do whatever you need to do so that you can play sport again.


Or what about just getting out and about? Explore some different areas of HK. Are you interested in photography - try taking some interesting photos and editing them on the computer.


Do you have any friends that aren't into clubbing - go out with them (or invite them round for dinner). Just because you no longer like clubbing doesn't mean you're boring. I don't consider myself boring and I've never liked clubbing!

what about swimming? that should be o.k for your knee right?

how bad is your knee?

Hiking is a low impact exercise and takes up a lot of time too.

Photography... you could shoot eachother and go on photo outings together.

Music... write/record a song together on the computer (movie "Music and Lyrics").

Art... join a pottery class (movie "Ghost").

Sport/outdoors... cycling, horseback riding, rowing (join a co-ed dragon boat team)...

LOL especially photography... :p

I have a rebuilt ACL and collapsed arches. I cycle. My mountain bike set me free. I love it and no impact on my arches or my knees (unless i get crazy and huck off of large objects) Still its great fun and will not bother your knee IF your frame is sized right and your seat is in the right position.


I bought my wife a bike and she comes with me and loves it too.


Great thing to do together and it keeps you fit and in shape for that other favorite couples past time.

Sasquatch：cycling sounds fun, where in gz do you ride bicycle??

Photography is major fun, and it can be artistic, naughty, or both at the same time. Can even be profitable, and expand into your other hobbies.


There are classes and clubs, but it helps if you simply find someone to teach you the ropes, or even research on the internet.

Insane,


I actually live 1 hour south of Seattle, WA in USA, not tecnically an expat but I have an apartment in GZ because i spend about two months of the year (spread into around 6 two week trips) there working with our factory. Im a shoe designer.


I haven't brought my bike over or picked one up in China yet. We ride in USA, wife doesnt come to China w me.


I used to live in South Florida right between Miami and Fort Lauderdale though, VERY URBAN in setting and we rode all the time there too. Street/sidewalk riding. Im more crazy than her so I would jump and play on or over urban obstacles, high curbs, parking stops, low walls, etc. But we didnt have any trouble finding good riding in city environments or now out in the country. Many parks in the US also have mountain biking trail sections.


If you road ride only you will want a different sort of bike than mine. I have a nice light weight hardtail, ie no suspension on back but a good fork shock- this a good option to do both on and off road riding with. And do pay attention to traffic and things. Your safety is in your own hands in traffic. I have a very nice lighting system, super bright and its rechargable, the battery pack goes in a bottle cage. I can blind oncoming trucks with this thing. I use it to light my way of course but really its so everyone can see where I am. Some times I use reflective tape or a cycling jersey with reflective on my back too.


PS anyone know where a nice bike shop in GZ is? The only ones Ive been in sell craptastically heavy low budget jobs. Im not feeling like I need to drop the kind of cash on a china bike that I have on my home ride but Id love a nice exercise number to ride some laps each night around Clifford.

There's a pottery place attached to the Fringe Club that has classes - look up the Fringe Club web site and there's a link there.


If you have a camera, you can do photography! Lots of info available on the web. I've seen a couple of camera clubs advertised in HK magazine as well.
