Surprise!

Dad told me he knew people coming to Hong Kong that were willing to bring some things that I forgot. Three ladies, all coming to shop for a few days. Mum and I were really nice and wrote out a fabulous list of hints and tips for shoppers - just little things we have discovered in the last 2 weeks.

So off we trotted to meet them at the train... but they didn't come! It was all a big fib. Dad decided he wanted a holiday in Hong Kong too, and surprised us by coming over for the weekend!

Ha ha! He thinks he is very clever! It's really nice to have him here as well :-)

PS Still not able to download photos. I'll update all these blogs when I can.
PPS I can still quickly check my hotmail at my brief internet cafe outings... so please keep emailing! It is good to hear from you all, I miss you!

PPS This photo is of the "wet market" near my place. I thought it was great! Beautiful fresh fruit and veg, and the fish and meat is so fresh it is still alive when they cut it up in front of you. Ok, that bit wasn't so great, but very interesting!

  4. I love reading about your adventures in a new place. Reminds me of when I was on exchange. Wish we'd had blogs then - only a very basic internet site and Hotmail! (-:
