Badminton

Hello Again,
Summer in November is over.  It has gotten cooler here in Hong Kong.  Now it feels like September back home.  A little cool in the morning, than warms up to @ 20-24 then cools down again.  Many people are wearing parkas and are in layers while I continue in shorts.  They don't call me crazy, but something much more proactive, namely: strong.  I like that.  I am thinly clad so I must be strong.  Yes we Canadians are strong or maybe years of living in frigid temperatures has numbed our brains.  I do not, I repeat I do not miss the icy roads, and how hard winter was on the cars.  I do miss cross country skiing through forests of pine though.  There is a real pine tree in the lobby here at Sky Tower.  It smells great and reminds me of home.  Oh well I'll have to make do with the smell of jungle.  Its not bad either.
This week my highlight was going to a world class badminton tournament in Hong Kong.  There were Olympic champions at this tournament and they put on a good show.  It was fun being with some guys from school, and considering it was overcast and dreary outside, being inside watching some amazing badminton was pretty good.
Four more days with the kids, then a PD day and then a two week break.  Looking forward to it.  It has been an intense four months to say the least.  I'll be heading to Cebu Philippines and I'll blog from there.

Till then Merry Christmas,

Dirk
