Laura, one of Anice's friend from back home in Ottawa, is here now! We all went to highschool together but i haven't seen her in ages. She too was teaching in Japan for the past year and it's been quite hilarious seeing her take in all the delightful sights and smells of Hong Kong!Last night we dined in the Night Market in Kowloon before rushing off to see a benefit concert by the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra. They played all the classics: Swan Lake, Don Giovanni, Pavane, Carmen - all beautifully performed.
It's been fun having live-in guests again. I've got the two of them hooked on LOST - haha! They are downstairs watching episode 8 as i type. After a year of no English tv/movies, they are soaking it all up and are glued in front of the screen, apart from the odd venture out to Tai O, Big Buddha and the Markets. I don't mind one bit, they are much-welcomed squatters: I come home, dinner's made, house is vacuumed, recycling/garbage is taken out, clothes are washed, and dishes are done.
A hectic week with little sleep, I'm thankful it's the weekend. Our HKU Orchestra is gearing up for the yearly concert which will be held in a couple of weeks. Two practices weekly, 3 hours each, it's gearing up to be an intense show.
