HK - arrived!
Well, it's been over 12 hours since I arrived and look how long it's taken me to get to the internet. Not bad all things considered - I've been asleep for most of that time, it's just now 11am in Hong Kong.
I am having mobile phone nightmares, basically it won't charge up. Not sure if this is because of the change in voltage from home to here (240 to 220) or whether it's because my phone is about to stick it's feet in the air and refuse to play ball. (Actually, someone might know this - I'm thinking email to mobile phone expert on the cards ) Hoping the former - obviously. I've left it with the people in the hotel hoping that they can do the necessary to make it work.
Oooh, they've just started playing Bob Marley in the cafe - reminds me of quiet friday mornings! (ie: before the rabble arrived and started on about the latest [fill in blank]!
Flight over from London was like nothing you've ever seen before. PACKED. Every seat on the plane was taken. So get there and there's a chinese dude (yes, dude) sitting next to me. Fine. But within about 5 minutes, he'd up and gone apologising profusely that he wanted to sit with his friend (dude huh?) - swapping with some other guy - who looked completely normal. Sounds OK. Until we head off. I tell you what, this is a man unique among men. Not only did he NEVER need the loo through the whole trip. but he could sleep. But not the usual sleep-with-one-eye-open-on-fear-of-imminent-death, oh no, this was proper sleep with PROPER snoring. It was that bad, that he kept waking himself up with the loudness of it. Can you imagine. Needless to say I had in my extra strength ear-plugs - usually for drowning out the sound of a very angry enfant. Who knew......
I found out *after* we got off the plane he was actually with someone else. Someone who had clearly been delighted at the opportunity to sneak some sleep away from this snoring maniac.
Anyways, I've got to get back to the hotel, see if they've fixed my phone......
