Typically English

I don't want to be boring and write about the weather, but I feel it deserves a little mention. It is so cold in Hong Kong at the moment, really cold. I know Europe is also cold, but over here we don't have things like central heating, carpets, soft furnishings... our duvets are a lot thiner too! Thermals, layers of clothing, scarves and now even a hat, I cannot quite believe it! I actually bought a puffer jacket too...

I had no idea that...

Hong Kong has wild monkeys. They do. I saw three today during a big walk in the forest. Munching on the leaves they were, minding their own business, swinging from the trees! Pretty clumsy ones though... Are they dangerous? I was slightly scared. Apparently they come out at dusk which is when we were there, I was also sightly scared about getting lost in the forest as the sun was going down and it was almost dark. Red trail guided the way. Monkeys, ha! Why are they so funny!


Chill in the air

Wow, the weather is very cold in Hong Kong at the moment. Is this a sign of things to come for the rest of the year? Or is it just my mum sending cold weather wishes all the way from the UK. Seven days until her arrival...
