Landed safe and sound

Adam and Andy have landed in Hong Kong! They just managed to get out of Heathrow because of the fog, Andy did not seem too impressed with New Zealand Airlines but they both seemed to survive sitting next to each other the whole way here so that's good.

We picked them up at the airport and got the express train back to the island, then we hopped on the underground link back to our flat. It was dark by the time we arrived home, it was very funny seeing their reactions as they stepped out from the sterile and strip lighted underground system into our colourful, loud, neon lighted, traffic filled street of Wan Chai.

We showed them our tiny little flat (which now seems even smaller) and I think it finally hit home that we do live in what could easily be mistaken for a small box. I was starving by this point so they had a shower and we headed off to one of our most popular little Japanese restaraunts which is just up the road. Things got very amusing when it became apparent that both Adam and Andy struggle somewhat using chopsticks. Adam gave up and settled with using his soup spoon to wrestle with his pork and rice. Andy however had the added difficulty of ordering noodles in a bowl of soup, basically he ended the meal with a big pile of noodles still in the bowl but all the soup consumed via his spoon.

I have a half day at work today and so the gang are meeting me in Causeway Bay by my office for lunch. We are going to a very local Thai place which serves some fantastic food, and also supplies forks and knives if needed! Tonight we are going to a leaving dinner for a friend and dragging them along too. After that it will be time for them to experience all that Hong Kong nightlife has to offer!
