It took me longer than I expected to find Professor Shitake in this futuristic land of Hong Kong. A Kowloon night market vendor tipped me off to the Professor's location after I bought 10 miniature statues of Mao and some dragon's breath candy (which is basically a Kellogg's Mini Wheat and should never be confused with candy!) When I found the Professor's hideaway, I was greeted by his new wife, Professor Porcini- a lovely Italian bird that he met in Milan. Together they had been working on inventions, theorems, hypotheses, and new fuel concepts to power Turtle Jet Packs and reduce Hong Kong's reliance on power pellets. I spent the afternoon with the Professors and their man-servant, Dr. ChowChow, learning about the energy crisis of the future and brainstorming on possible solutions. Here were my contributions:
- Have Turtles take the train on Sundays
- Put more quarters into the clouds to create more pellets
- Go to the Kowloon night market with your own bag, instead of taking paper or plastic
The Professors were grateful for my contributions and said that they would take the DeLorean into the future to confirm that I would win a Nobel Prize. My work here in Hong Kong is done.
