I arrived in Hong Kong around 8pm last night local time, which would be 1pm in the UK, after having been awake for 36 hours, getting a mighty numb bum on the 12 hour flight and watching many films and TV shows on the back of the seat in front of me.
The roads from the airport to where we are staying were eerily familiar, looking far too much like those in the UK, with identical road markings and street signs (English plus Chinese), not to mention road-side architecture. There are British style plug sockets too.
We (myself, Kitty, Kitty’s mum and grandfather, Elton (Kitty’s brother) and Food (Kitty’s tiniest uncle)) went to a ginormous restaurant with Kitty’s “fifth” uncle, her aunt and other uncle, cousins Ada and Kevin, and Kevin’s fiancé Cissy. There was much tasty food, so much that I could not eat more than one pudding, and then hundreds of terrifyingly huge fishies looking glum waiting to be eaten the next day.
Sweet sweet sleep came at last, around 1am, and now I am up again and go play outside. Photos were taken last night and when I get them off folk I shall post some here.
