One week as absolute lazy bones!

No, we're not in China yet, just to make that absolutely straight! Our passports are still by the authorities so they might award us with visas so we can finally can go. On Monday we might be able to pick them up with the visas. I guess I did a mistake though by not writing that I was a teacher -which I'm in fact not really- so I wrote that I was a film maker -which is more like it-, but the lady behind the glass didn't really like that, and the fact that I applied for a 12 months multiple entry Visa to China, she didn't like and said that the officers probably wouldn't give me that. But I've just have to wait and see, At Catrionas application -also 12 months multiple entry visa- they had nothing to say, as she is a teacher, so she might get that, and then I have to apply again every time we feel like going to China over the next 12 months.
So now we've been around here for a week and done absolutely ZERO, just been lazy, slept long hours, read books and watch films. Fine enough, but now I'm beginning to get bored and inpatient and I just want to get out to somewhere, but without passports we just have to wait.
It is not that there is nothing to do in Hong Kong, there is but it is so hot at the moment, so during the day one can't really spend so much time outside, so we wait until the evening and then there is all the restaurants and stuff in the city, but how much can you exceed that?
But we found a little Italian place during the week, which I really would like to recommend. It's called "Cafe Roma" and is like a little typical Italian trattoria and serve what they call; "Il paese" (the country) food. The menu isn't that big but the dishes is all simple, fresh and tasty. The local is small and simple as well, and one of the good things I've learned about restaurants, you can see the kitchen and follow the progress of your order. So if anyone is planning a trip top Hong Kong, and can't live without pizza and pasta, this could be an opportunity.
