Well I've ventured out on my first day in Hong Kong and here's my breakfast! Pan fried turnip cake with cogee, anyone? Just me then. Am in a canteen-type place in one of the 3 million shopping malls (maybe 4...). My hotel is rather pleasant and overlooks a square where loads of people were doing Tai Chi this morning.

Arrived late last night to the sound of lounge music from the bar, which I recognised as one of the songs from Priscilla Queen of the Desert; but resisted the temptation to have a gay old time, and instead went to my room and watched a bit of the Rugby 7s in the Commonwealth Games, as Carl and I had done just that morning in real life! Felt a bit sad to have left Carl and Australia behind, but then remembered am in Hong Kong and it's wicked!
