The crazy humidity of Hong Kong supposedly started 'late' this year. Interspersed with near-typhoon black clouds and heavy rain, it has been consistently well above 30C in late April already. Yikes! Very good excuse to defer our outdoor running/training :-(
While Stephen luckily dodged the food poisoning after Yunnan trip, he does continue to encounter questionable food when on biz travel in mainland... scary stuff. I think our next trip will be somewhere cleaner and safer, maybe Thailand.
On the 'what's happening in the news' front, we enjoyed The Lady (Michelle Yeoh plays Burmese pro-democratic elect Aung San Suu Kyi superbly. In real life Aung was finally sworn in this week as an official lawmaker/opposition!). Also the blind lawyer/activist Chen Guangcheng escaped from China and the world is awaiting Obama/US to protect his family from further China government persecution. Also Facebook is due to IPO very soon; Zuckerberg will probably yield $1B himself although most goes into taxes (piddly amount relative to his wealth). Microsoft bought huge stack in Barnes & Noble Nook tablets. Samsung released its Galaxy III S today to rival the iPhone.
And...more Asian migrations... yet another good friend from grad school has landed in HK (Li). Look forward to spending more quality time with her and her family! And we work in the same building :-) And Stephen has a good friend now living in Beijing...
