Not so hot anymore...

I made it. I'm in Hong Kong. And although the 11 hour delay was a bugger, the upside of it was that the plane was only half full (or half empty). So I had 3 seats to myself, and no seats in front of me. This must be the closest I'll ever come to knowing what business class feels like (Note: It feels good).

I watched nearly 6 movies:

Jumper - Absolutely pants.
Juno - Absolutely brilliant.
There will be blood - Absolutely mediocre.
Awake - Absolutely never heard of it, but it was'nt bad.
I am Legend - Absolutely seen it before- not as good the second time (Didn't finish this).

Air Newzealand are also very impressive. Great food and equally good service. But then again, maybe I just enjoyed my 3 seats...

Did a quick bit of shopping today. I realised that using my mobile as a watch isn't gona work whilst travelling, as it's off most of the time, and is a pain to keep reaching into my pocket to get. SO, I bought a casio watch for 10 quid. Not flashy, but cheap, light, durable and water resistant. Picked up some mosquito killer, sun cream and panadol. Oh and a moleskin diary (just because ernest hemmingway used one- ya i'm a sucker for plugs like that).

I'm now trying to recover from the biggest and tastiest lunch I've had in a long time. I can't upload pics here but when I can I will.

Tomorrow it's back to the airport at 8am for a flight to Singapore. Something tells me this bloated feeling isn't gonna go away anytime soon. So long skinniness.

OH, and lastly, I think it is worth mentioning that I shaved my head. It was one of the hardest decisions I've had to make on this trip so far. I was terrified of doing it and looking like those skinny white boys who shave their heads to look 'ard (translation for the non-brit: tough). After getting it done I went to Viv for approval, and all she could do was laugh. Judging by this reaction, I'd say 'ard I'm not... But I have to tell you, a shaved head is incredibly convinient. I need no shampoo, no conditioner, no hair product and ultimately, no hassle. I look the same when I get up as when I go to sleep, and most importantly, I'm never hot. Sadly, this seems to be true in both senses of the word.
