How was your week?I guess it was never meant to be any different. If, then we would have done something against it, like booked some flights to wherever, just to do the same thing; laze around.
We just didn't bother the trouble finding any deals, so we let the holiday week be a nice rest in our own house. In fact there is still a lot more to do here, so why not stay and the real China, the mainland is only a 40 minutes train ride from here and holding multiply entry visas to that mainland, why not go up and in there, everything is possible. At the beginning on a week like that, you just think: "Wauw, one week off, and all the things you could do!"
Now the week has gone and the only thing left back in the mind is the question what we could have done.The most of our plans, intensions and ideas didn't happen at all as we fall in to one of those laziness attacks caused by exact the fact that you have so much time to do nothing. So this New Year Week was complete misused and lazyed away in the very best meaning called "chilling out" and "relaxsation".
Catriona maneged to tidy up some of her drawers and get to read one or two books.I managed to get halfway through one, to watch some anoying films on our tellie and to listen to some good music, while trying to get my self together and finally get some more stuff from Cambodia sorted, which I then didn't do becsause we decided to have some friends to dinner one evening. Then I spend one day and a half in various positions on the couch, reading 2 gigantic Culinaria cookery books -from Spain and Italy- trying to plan the menu and the shopping list for that event.
It is the Chinese New Year week so everyday there has been some kind of loud and noisy celebrations going on on the streets. We have seen Lions and Dragons dance in the streets to a bombic drumbeat and hammering on big bells.
Suddenly you get caught in the middle of a twelve meter dancing golden Dragon, swinging from side to side up and down the streets. When they as suddenly as they came, again disapears you can be certain that you will see them again somewhere else during the day, even if that means seeing them resting somewhere in the sun.
Another thing that have had a very big influence on the state of our activity, coiuld have been the for Hong Kong sake, very cold weather. I know that everybody in the old countries in europe will laugh loudly andmaybe think that we have developed to a couple of weakies, because we have had crazy 7 degrees, and that we were frozen out of our skin. Jusrt in a mattr of days the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. then all week cold and around 7 to 9 degrees, and then today back to about 13 and increasing the next days with an expected temperature at 25 in the midweek, just before it is going to be another weekend.
