Not quite the midnight train to Georgia: On the train from Hong Kong to Shanghai - May 2008.
The first South African we met in China, Elkarien, came for dinner tonight and it was a lovely evening. I guess Elkarien is in her 50s and she's doing some language work for the British Council in China. She gets to travel all around the country, which seems tres glamorous, but also a little bit lonely. She's off to SA next month for Christmas. I officially have Christmas at home envy... It's very tempting to pack my bags and come home for a month or so for some summer and sun - but it's just a fanciful idea, I would never leave poor Frikkie here to face the bleak December weather on his own. Plus the kitties are almost out of prison and I want to be around when they get out...

Yeugh, I don't like bobotie. And looking at the temperatures you record, I'm going to stop moaning about London cold immediately! At least it's in positive digits over here!
Is your new apartment fabbalas?
Kay bunny, I have to go - I seem to have picked up some dreaded lurgi again. I know who gave it to me too - some chick in Product Development who should have stayed home but came to the office instead and coughed non-stop for 2 days. Either her, or some random person on the train. You know how it is ... aaah, to have an airconditioned car again...
