Gwo Wak (street smart-conviving) Gei (kid)
Usually saying about the kids who hang on the street corners, most probably triad related.

That was an awesome article Yan, I’m soo impressed and wish I had even half of your writing skill. Import Car culture is alive and well in Toronto (as it seems to be everywhere nowadays) and looking at my car sitting dead (dangerously faulty transmission) in the driveway this last week, now almost buried in snow – the temptation to drive has been strong. Not racing or anything, just driving in any capacity .. sigh..
Aw well, I still have the Toronto Auto show in 2 weeks to look forward too 😀

Thanks. Some dude said to me last night, “Well I liked your piece of fiction.”
I was like, “It’s real!”
and he said, “Well fictionalized truth.” and I thinking grrrrr….
Send over some photos of the show if you have all the gadgets plus time to do so? As long as you’re not on a Mac, as I found out today that I can’t open files sent by macs or something like that!!
Snow.. erghh. cold..
