And there's another thing I love about HK. The weather. It's like revisiting my childhood. Growing up in Fiji, every day the sun shone except for those glorious days when we had a brutal tropical storms. That's when we all went out to play because the drains cascaded with fiercely flowing storm-water and you could sit in them and be taken for a ride for miles. It was so much fun. And then Suva City Council started organising storm-management properly - "just like a real country" - and got proper drains and culverts and storm-water catchment areas. And that's when lots of kids got killed drain-surfing by being swept into them, so we were all banned from riding the drains during storms and our lives became a little bit less rich.
That's just a way of telling you we're in the midst of a terrific tropical storm. Here, let me take a photo for you. Maybe I'll get a photo of Wan Chai under a huge bolt of lightning:
Nope, no such luck. Just a photo of how badly our windows need cleaning.
But doesn't it look brutal! Yuck! I'm not going out in that. Sorry, guys, I'm not going out to get those tickets for the New Zealand Film Festival until that's over!
