Hong Kong
Hi! So we are in Hong Kong right now and hurray for internet! It’s a bit slow here but it’s better than nothing (ie. in Malaysia, oh how I suffered).
The last days of Malaysia were spent between doing nothing at home and eating out with relatives again. Said goodbye at the airport and went to Singapore again for the night. The next morning landed in HK.

Countdown: one week.
Hi!

I chose Tumblr because apparently it’s a good site for uploading photos and hopefully I’ll have lots of those during my stay there. It took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to change the title of the blog. Normally I’d blame it on myself for not being meticulous in my search but computer science has...
