Hello Awesome Ones,
It has been pretty bleak and rainy for the last three weeks, but today was a welcome respite, with the sun visiting Hong Kong again. Temperature went up to 29 today, it had been a frigid 25 for a while, yeah I know get out the violins, and so I headed out to a beach on Sunday aft. More about that later.
This week I am going to write a little on what I do on a "normal" weekend. Friday is a social night and I head out with friends to eat or do something interesting. This past Friday was the annual staff supper at a golf and country club. Before dinner I released some tension by driving a few golf balls towards mainland China. The course we were at is right at the border and you can see the high rises of Shensen. By the way a school board member put the dinner on for us, so that was great. So I devoured steak, steak, and potatoes, was a welcome changeup from fish, fish, and rice.
Saturdays is my skype day and I check up with Helga and Alf, plus the kids. I also become happy homemaker and take 15 minutes to clean up my humble abode. I also get some provisions for breakfast, I always eat out, when dinners are 5 to 10 dollars, why cook? I also haul my laundry to the local Chinese laundry business, wait they are all Chinese, and get my weekly accumalation of dirty clothes cleaned, and folded for a few bucks. Excellent.
Then, like this past Saturday I will do something like go out with a friend and watch English soccer at an English pub and cheer on Man U or Chelsea or Liverpool. Its jolly fun watching a game with the English especially if you are cheering for the wrong team.
Then Sunday is church day which I attend without about eight others from school. The church I go to is called the vine and it is a converted theatre. Metal vines cover the building. Only in Hong Kong, only in Hong Kong. Check the scripture, God is the vine and we are the branches. The church is a pretty rocking place, great music, great message, all in English, it is a taste of heaven in that every race and at least 50 countries are represented at the Vine. Great.
Then, now to rub it in a bit, after church I go out for lunch with my friends or head to a beach or jungle. Today was the beach. October 16 and I was splashing in the waves. Still wrapping my mind around that. Plus 29 lovely.
Have a great week ya all. And God bless you. Thanks for your interest in my life here in Hong Kong.
Love adios and peng on,
Dirk
