I built a solar still to convert sea water to fresh water but the kids stepped on it while playing volleyball.... Guess we are going to die of dehydration :(

Quick post
This day turned into a longer day than I was expecting, I also lack the energy to make a great post so here's a list of the day from what I remember.
13,000 bolts of lightning hit Hong Kong last night, it was the craziest lightning storm I've experienced in Hong Kong, probably in the top 5 ever...
One of the bolts knocked out our electricity, I'm so glad I used my intuition and unplugged the TV and the Computer from the wall
However, our DSL modem and router weren't so lucky, I think the surge came in through the phone line and blew the modem and then the router, luckily it was diminished enough after that that the computer was unharmed, at least from what I could tell.
I had to go visit the YWCA to check out the place that i'm going to be coordinating a camp at next Monday and Tuesday. I also called China Light and Power (CLP) and reported that we were dead in the water.
They ended up stopping by the flat when I was gone, but luckily the lady we have clean our flat once a week was here and let them in and by the time I ran back up the hill they had everything going but the air conditioners.
Long story short everything seems to be fine as far as the breakers go except for the damn, "Ground Leakage Breaker" I wasn't able to be home to let in an electrician the landlord sent over this evening, they never called to let me know until they were here at the doorstep and I was neck deep in camp coordinating down at the beach.
It's been almost 3 hours with no incidents...
Tomorrow is more planning, then Saturday off, then Sunday is half day prep, then Monday and Tuesday is camp time!
I also just confirmed to work with a camp in Sai Kung on the second week of October coaching a dragon boat team....

Shooting a movie here in pui o
I was walking along the beach and they flagged me down before i could walk behind them and the ocean, instead having me walk behind the camera. Guess they didn't want a gwei in the shot. I just missed a picture of the onlooking lifeguards, although I'm SURE that they were concerned with the use of a ball on the beach, I'm sure the beautiful actresses were more on their mind...
