Still no internet... Saturday is the day. So still hogging the computer at a cafe with people hovering over my shoulder waiting for me to finish.
I had a great weekend with mum and dad, although due to dad's visit being a surprise we hadn't planned much. We ended up checking out a shopping mall called the Dragon Centre - 9 floors high complete with ice skating rink, jumping castles, and a roller coaster up the top! (closed that day, bummer). They had some big shops, but a stack of shops were only as big as a double bed. Imagine standing on your bed and setting up shop in that space. No kidding!
We also dragged dad to the flower markets (which I LOVED!) and the bird markets, since we hadn't done that. And Chris took us to dinner in Rat Alley. Nice!
We spent Sunday at Ocean Park - a bit like Seaworld. Very hot but very worthwhile. We even got mum on the Wild Rapids ride! We also fit in the light show, dinner and Temple St markets all at Kowloon that night.
Mum and Dad did more touristy things yesterday (Monday) before I met them after my induction day (I'll save that for the next blog).
And then they left. It was the first time I'd been alone for over a month - the flat felt quite empty and lonely for a while!
Bring on Saturday... I can't wait to email people again, and not keep checking my watch on a time limit.
