Winter is here


In Hong Kong winter starts after Mid Autumn Lantern Festival.
The festival was last week and there are a few unmistakeable signs that the season has changed.
Certainly the weather is not one of them.. As I am typing this, the sun is shining and the sky would be blue except for the haze. Yesterday it was 32 degrees.
But the air conditioning system on the MTR (our underground trains) is off.
And yesterday, the most obvious sign of all.
The first roasted chestnut and sweet potato seller of the year.

Hi sweetie,
It is interesting to read the blog from the other side..not being part of the story and actually read about your home. Enjoy your time there but we want you in the good ol'Europe very very soon.
