Sonia flew out this afternoon, back to Hanoi. I will join her there on Friday, the Vietnamese consulate willing. I have to in to apply for my tourist visa first thing tomorrow morning. Then on the following Tuesday we will both fly to Bangkok. I stay in Bangkok for only a couple of nights before coming back here. Things do seem to ad warming up in the job market, so I want to make the most of the time before we in to the wedding. Sonia flies back to Hong Kong the night before we fly out to the US.
Enough about the travel arrangements. What else? Well this epistle comes to you from the gym again... I am sure Daryl is making the most of the last couple of weeks to try and get his weight down below me (71.5kg)!
We went back to one of our favorite restaurants last night - Harlan's. I suspect that it has changed hands from the original guy - something felt different about the place this time. I will have to do some digging to see if it is true or not. On Friday I went to the NZ consul-general's house for a Waitangi-day bbq. Along with about another 80 members of the NZ society of HK. And yes the house is that big. Right at the top of the Peak with amazing views over HK. Met a few interesting people - it seems like most kiwis in HK are here as teachers. Met someone who knows Alison and the Stevenson clan. And the Liddles. Kiwis are an incestuous lot.
I got the Mac back on Wednesday. It had started randomly freezing or rebooting, and I could not figure out what the problem was. It turned out to be a problem with the main logic board, which they replaced (still under warranty). Now I can get back to working on prototypes of systems - something to keep me busy in between interviews.
Thanks to Jonathan for the photos of the ankle-biters.
