The single girl’s guide to dating a Bond villain.

Each month, I travel to Hong Kong to enjoy a few meals, do a little shopping, and bask in the awe-inspiring glory that is unrestricted internet access. It’s how I’m able to maintain my sanity and/or post on this blog, and these day trips have become the highlight of my time here.

Last November was no different; clad in my sweatpants and magnificently un-showered, I shuffled my way into the city to take advantage of the holiday sales and surprisingly tasty cheeseburgers.

But then things got interesting: On my way back to the university, I met a Hungarian doctor by the name of – I kid you not – István Kiss. He was thirty-two, here on business, and bore a striking resemblance to Jeremy Renner. His charm, good looks, and persistent ambiguity about what he was doing in China intrigued me. Or, it would have were I not covertly attempting to subdue my hair in the substantial downpour.

But why's he taking off... Never mind, keep doing what you're doing.

He handed me his card and told me he wanted to take me to dinner. I tried to return with some witty response, but inhaled several gallons rainwater instead. As I hacked up a lung and he disappeared into the night, and ran my thumb over his name.

The things a girl has to do in the name of research.

Bond... James Bond,
A
