Too much… can’t write…
I’m back in Hefei now after an absolutely fantastic weekend in Hong Kong.
I should have written while I was there, as now I have a complete overload of bloggable material and don’t know what to write.
After I came up with the clever little idea of flying down to Hong Kong for the weekend, I managed to rope another three friends into the trip, which in addition to the lovely Wincy already being there from Melbourne, made it the perfect weekend.
When I was still in Tokyo, Michael and I spent far too much money we didn’t have on coffee and cake on the weekends, and made it quite the tradition. The opportunity to spend far too much money on cake and coffee in Hong Kong for the weekend was just too good an opportunity for Michael to pass up, and his ticket was booked.
I would have expected Jana to prove a little more difficult to convince, being that she is in London and all,… but a 12 hour flight each way is no obstacle for Jana when there is some Hong Kong food and shopping to be had and the opportunity to surprise Wincy off her chair. I think it took her about 30 minutes to have convinced yet another friend into the trip and booked their tickets. Jana and Filomena absolutely filled their weekend with shopping, eating, and drinking, then left on Sunday night to go straight back to work Monday morning.
I am impressed.
The look on Wincy’s face when they walked into the restaurant on Friday made it all worthwhile I suspect.
We ate well all weekend, we shopped well all weekend, and even fitted in some decent sightseeing. All went so smoothly I fear I have developed a taste for flitting of to another country for a weekend… I might well need to get a job soon.
