Time for another update, I feel

Well it has been a while since the last real update... again.

In between I have been to Thailand twice, first time to visit the Ellwoods and the de Jongs on their respective ways back to India and Burma. Second time was this weekend just gone, when Sonia and I went to Phuket. I have come back sun-burnt on my shoulders and back, while Sonia remains white as a sheet.

Tomorrow (Saturday), we will be moving apartment to a serviced apartment on the Kowloon side. This is of course a major move, as we will no longer be "on the island". One step closer to China, so I guess we will need to watch out. We are still not sure what we will do for a longer term place to live, so we've booked the serviced apartment for 3 months. By that stage we should know one way or the other.

In the email news today I saw an article saying that unemployment shot up in NZ last month, and is forecast to rise further next year. Bummer! Hope you are all keeping your heads down and working hard.

Sonia should be on her plane around the time I write this - it's a 6:40 flight from Bangkok. I will have to go down and collect her from the Airport Express station - she has no HK money for a taxi. It's still quite warm at night this time of year. As a result it is an exercise in judgment in terms of walking slowly enough to get there without being covered in sweat but still arrive on time!
