Hot Hong Kong

Back in Hongkers for over one week now. Last Wednesday as we arrived, Hong Kong was still suffering from the mighty typhoon that struck the previous week-end. What we witnessed was the devastation the typhoon had brought along. Damaged trees and signs everywhere. On the roads lay branches and Leeds that the wind had blown apart, it looked like they'd been through a salad sling and just dropped all over. Wet green salad covered roads buildings. And the rain just continued for days and days. t was a time to stay in, which was fine as we had been shifting location for a whole month before, so it was nice to relax and just sit down, and to wear some other clothes than what had been put in the backpacks, and had to last for one month on the road.
The last couple of days -since Sunday to be precise- a heat wave has settled over the territory, with temperatures up to 34 degrees centigrade, so now it is the opposite. You stay in because it is to hot. well, I prefer that to the rain as you can get out, just not for so long -and like in the rain- you also get drenched, now just by sweat.
