Warm, not hot and humid, clear sky and low pollution. Awesome. Am in the house but at the same time outside coz I can have the big doors to the balcony open, and can enjoy the view and the warmth of the sun. To make the Sunday even perfecter, if that's a word, I have made a fresh pot of Chinese tea and are about to head out for a big walk in the country park.
WifeX is at a workshop at the "Gold Coast" of Hong kong, so I am on my own. Yesterday was kind of a Christmas shopping day for me. It all started at our own school where the yearly Christmas fair was on. Later I took my time going through some of the frenzy busy Mong Kok markets on a hunt for some small and bigger presents.
These markets can be exhausting, but they are also very entertaining and going through them is like a journey into mankinds urge to get cheap stuff, you do not really need, even cheaper. If you do not have time, it is a hazzle and frustrating as you can't really get anywhere fast coz of the crowds, but if you do have time and are patient, you can have a good couple of hours and can find good bargains. I enjoy going there and find stuff for presents and then just observe life going on.
If you think I am going to tell what all got into my backpack, you are going to be disappointed, as I am not. However one thing I can give away here is that it was very heavy and the amount of money in my pocket got decimated.
Happy first Sunday in advent.
