Hong Kong 9-16 July
Moz had been posted to Hong Kong for a week, from today till 16 July ... for some corporate brainwashing training.
Can someone explain to me why it's actually cheaper to fly to Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific instead of MAS? It's an outrageous 30% more ... I can't even help out our national carrier - the company simply won't allow it!
So, it'll be pineapple tarts, butter & milk on toasted bread and yin yueng (coffee +tea) for a week. I'm looking forward to some time with some old friends and colleagues, and fabulous food, plus a bit of R&R while up there in Hong Kong.
Eric promised me I'll be getting drunk ... I just want fab wantan noodles and roadside Shark's Fin (look away Pelf, look away ... pretend you didn't read it ...). And I also look forward to going to a wet market for local food with Raymond.
The foot's ok, but only when medication is in effect, so I look forward to at least a bit of shopping. With the unfavorable exchange rate, and the fact that it's summer sale (which means winter clothes are on sale) ... I'm not sure I'll be shopping all that much.
Will still blog from time to time ... maybe I'll make a Hong Kong Top Ten ... so please check this blog from time to time ...
I'm hoping to catch the World Cup Finals from the pub heaven that is Lan Kwai Fong or Kowloon ... here's hoping to a great final, no matter who wins, France or Italy.

amelia: Thanks!! I really hope to. Brainwashing ... I mean, training ... is supposed to be hard at work ... =)
The foot is fine, thanks to the medicine !
pelf: What makes you think I would actually take shark's fin? The ones on the streets of Kowloon are fakes !!!

OK. Now that you said you're NOT going to eat sharks' fins (OR that you're going eat fake ones)..
I want lou po peng (those from Yuen Long, they're THE BEST)..!! =)
abe: Do you have something in mind?
pelf: Maybe I should just tell you I'm taking real shark's fin after all ... haha ... ok ... lemme try my best to get 'em.

liuliu, your toe no problemo, righto?
angel: No need to pack?? Ok ... I'll just eat the siu ngor myself then.
Cathay Pacific is cheaper bcoz it's HK's national carrier. I so wanna try their pork chop bread.
papi: I've realised from the latest fare schedules I've got that I'm getting the best prices from everyone except MAS. Everywhere I fly (except Singapore and Thailand), it's cheaper to fly with some other airline .... =(
Ah ... I tried the pork chop bread ... yuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy
