Hong Kong

Well we are home in HK this weekend. Both of us flew into HKIA on Thursday night.

HK has got a bit colder in the last couple of months. Although we are not needing to wrap up warmly yet, I noticed some of the locals have got out their scarves and heavy coats already. We noticed this phenomenon last year as well. It feels like as soon as the "official" start of a season is reached, everyone goes overboard. Same as winter fades into spring - immediately out come the summer clothes, which are sometimes not really appropriate when the temperature is still on the chilly side.

Lunch today was at Zembra in Wan Chai. This is a bit of a favorite, as it serves good coffee and excellent food.

Tonight we are booked for dinner at Madison's in Central. I have been once before (over a year ago), and we've been trying to get a booking here for a while. Inevitably we are disorganised and end up trying to book a table on Saturday morning. By this stage it's always full. So this week I booked on Wednesday before leaving Tokyo. I will put an update on the blog on tomorrow.

The rest of today was spent playing squash with some of the work colleagues, ordering a new suit from a tailor here (pretty good work), a haircut, and getting some basic groceries. In a couple of minutes, we will be off to the gym to work off lunch and prepare the way for dinner.
