Well it's been a busy week and to prove it I slept to 1:30 today! Was great and very needed! Caity got up at the crack of dawn to meet her friend and go to Shenzhen for massage and shopping. Apart from sleeping, I got laundry done, uploaded some photos and sorta tidied (not really). BTW my new photos are here: Nats new photos!
Thursday I had an irritating day at work (as per normal) and called up Caity to meet me at a bar near my place,that has 2 for 1 happy hour that I had wanted to check out. So we had a couple of drinks, then went to another pub to meet a friend (but missed her) had another drink, then headed to another pub for some food. We then decided to check out another pub near me, that has open mic night on thursday that I had wanted to go to for a while. A lovely bar with friendly (canadian) owners. We ended up getting quite drunk and meeting a lovely group of teachers with musical skills. (aussies, brits, yanks and canadians).
Friday morning (slightly hangover - and the day off work) we were heading to one of the islands (cheung chau). On our way to the ferry stop, Nick (one of the teachers from the night before) called us and invited us a on a junk party on saturday, with 45 others! So instead we decided to head to Lamma on friday. We had a yummy seafood lunch, and walked to the other side of the island, stopping at a deserted beach (about 5 other ppl) and coming across many spiders and a snake!! We have had such amazing weather - and a brilliant time discovering Hong Kong.
Friday night we met up with my friend Pau-Ling and some random canadians - and heading home, ran into a bunch of very amusing aussies and kiwis - another bunch of teachers. So ended up staying out half the night with them - before getting up early to meet Nick and the teachers for our boat party!
Had a great day on the junk, and met some lovely people, and we both got sunburnt knees! We then got invited to one of the girls places for pizza and cranium (a board game), a perfect day and hopefully some new friends!
Oh and Nick is Derya's equivalent. I don't think hes as psychotic as she is, but he collects friends and organises events - so definitely a good person to know! Oh and all the teacher's on the boat knew each other because they were in the same intake for the english teaching program in HK a couple of yrs ago. And Boz, it turns out teachers in HK can make a fortune, maybe something to consider ;)
It's sunday night, and Caity's on her way back from China - so the big question - should I cook or buy some dinner?
Oh and Basil is sooo almost dead - I'm sorry Basil...
Caity leaves tomorrow night, and them I'm on my own again. And another week of work ahead - gotta love sundays night....

Both hats really look good on you! And it sounds like you have met a bunch of great new people - in fact it sounds like Caity's visit was just what you needed! :)
Basil needs sun! They like it hot, but not damp.
