A lovely weekend




I love long weekends. I've done the light show, star ferry (favourites), more lanterns, Knutsford Terrace (great for eating and drinking), shopping, Cheung Chau... I think Lynne and Emilio have squeezed in heaps in the last few days.

Cheung Chau was great as usual, but we wandered around more back alleys this time. We came across preparations for some kind of burning festival. They make huge paper sculptures of all sorts of things (eg the car in the photo) that will then be burnt as an offering to dead relatives. I thought that was the Hungry Ghost festival that's been and gone, so I'll have to look into it a bit more. I'd like to be there for the festival.
PS I was so excited today - when I left school it wasn't too hot! The first time I haven't been hot in over 2 months.
