earth hour

As some of you may know, it was Earth Hour a couple nights ago. At 8:30pm, I switched off all my lights and even unplugged electrical appliances and I had a few candles in the living area. Lo and behold what happens but the doorbell rings. Only in Hong Kong do they deliver packages in the night. I open the door and the delivery man gave me a rather weird look. I wanted to explain to him that the reason why it’s so dark in my apartment is because I’m trying to do my bit for the earth. But the guy gave me a weird look and dropped the parcel into my hands and left before I could really say anything. “Um, thanks”, I said to his disappearing back. “And I’m not weird, it’s just Earth Hour…..”

And is it just me, or is it weird to do Earth Hour alone, at home? 

Should I have gone to a park instead with a bunch of cool friends and lit candles and posted photos on instagram? I suddenly feel rather lame…
