Basically a quick review of this week goes as follows:
Saturday- meet Katy in the city and work on making questions and checking on things for the "great race"
Sunday- day off, stayed at home, worked on questions for the upcoming corporate program in Central on Wednesday, took bus to Tung Chung, bought Subway, purchased and HDMI cable
Monday- worked on Corporate program at the office in the morning, had a meeting for the school program I was working on Tuesday, had the plans for the Corporate change on me multiple times, worked until 8 getting things ready
Tuesday- went to work at 7:30 to get ready for the 60 3rd graders coming in for "navigating, kite flying, and eco-games" then worked on an already changed Corporate program after they left and realised (again) that the work I had done up to that point was useless
Wednesday- Went in to work to finish getting "the race" ready, scrambled to make the non-existent ferry at 11:10 and caught the real one after the buzzer rang because lunch took forever to get, got in to Central and went running around to buy 3 maps to put with the rest of our packets, presented the program and started the race, ate a ridiculously expensive 4 course steak dinner with the corporate group, caught the 9:30 back to Lantau
Thursday- (re-re-re-re)updated the program to the way that I actually would have liked to have done it in the first place so it can be used again next week. Ate some brownie batter, deposited my paycheck, did laundry, put on my only collared shirt and went to the China Bear with the gang for a few hours.
Friday- went out to the abseil with Dave and Bryan and learned how to set up a simple anchoring system and how to belay people and how to help them if they get caught up in the belay system, then the three of us rigged a single rope belay system and tied up some rope protecting bamboo about 30 feet up on the side of the cliff face then abseiled (rappelled) into the ocean. Met Katy then went into the city for a few hours with Bryan and Rosanne
Saturday- slept in (kinda) and then went with Katy to Tung Chung to start phase 1 of my civilizing process aka... buying a really nice set of clothes so I can attend formal functions instead of donning my
Fisherman pants:
and my A.L.E-free box lime green crocs:
So we decided on a really nice and comfy pair of leather shoes and some Ralph Lauren khaki pants.
Tic-tac-toe = knots and crosses (British and New Zealand)
Ketchup = tomato sauce (NZ)
tartar sauce = tahtieahh sauce (NZ)
hamburger = hambuhhgaah
iron = iahn
Hi Adam-Snow has arrived and the North Country now looks like winter and Christmas on the way.Your mom has improved greatly over the last few days. She is a little more encouraged. Enjoyed your last blog as I usually do. Just love to hear about your experiences in Hong Kong. Papa is working on his vintage car racer. He definitely wants to get it finished by summer. With the snow now, he will be spending more time in the shop working on this project. Loved seeing the pictures. Thank you again. Keep safe-Miss you. Love Nana & Papa C
