Junk Boat

Not much news today, we have a big storm due tomorrow, but then it should clear up. My first task working for Grace seems to be involving getting everyone out of the hostel and into their flats. This weekend we are all going on a junk boat trip. What this involves is everyone paying twenty dollars each (just over a quid) and all being taken on a massive boat to an outlying island. Once there, more speedier boats appear to let us do watersports and stuff. Me and Rob both feel a bit sniffy today, our immune systems are not inline with Hong Kong so we are trying to get vitamin C and vegetables down us. Hong Kong Ribena looks cool though.

Robyn went to her drama interview today and ended up acting out the death scene of Romeo and Juliet. It seems to have gone well despite this, plus if she gets it it will give her a bit more cash.

We are in an internet cafe at the moment, just round the corner from our hostel. We just had dinner and a cockroach jumped on my hand. Robyn was put off her dinner a bit and I kept thinking i felt something crawling up my leg. It's just something we have to get used to.

I have got a couple of shirts copied for me by a local tailor. I needed some more linen ones and ended up paying the equivalent of twenty quid for each shirt. I think i could have got them cheaper but the salesman was such a nice guy. He even has daughters just starting at Coventry university, small world.

Other unusual childrens names we have found at school recently have been 'Sit', 'Witty' and 'Charade'. I decided to play charades with 'Charade'. She was rubbish.
