HK HXC

Sorry for the lack of updates. Life has been pretty frantic since Gen and I got back from Hong Kong on Monday morning, just in time to teach. In the interim a week has flown by and two of my friends, Rich and Roch are now married. I can't wait to hear how the wedding was.

Anyway, I thought I'd upload a couple of photos Gen and I took while we were in Hong Kong. The first few were taken from a viewpoint above Hong Kong city. You are meant to be able to get some good views but unfortunately for us it was a hazy, polluted day. The steep tram ride up to the viewpoint was fun though. The other pictures are of us in transit. We did so much traveling, transferring from high-speed rail to shuttle bus, to aeroplane to subway. Very tiring indeed!

We got to spend a day with my cousin, Russ, which was also pretty cool. He is a financial planner and we went around to his apartment. The place has a clubhouse with an indoor swimming pool, steam rooms, jacuzzis, an outdoor pool, a games room equipped with X-box 360, Wii and PS3, table-tennis rooms, drum-kit and piano for random use as well as restaurant and bar. There are also games rooms where you can play poker or Mah-jhong.

As for Comeback Kid, I could not have asked for a better show. Everyone was so into it. Here are some of the highlights for me from the show.

1. Doing gang vocals on Die Tonight.
2. Swinging from the rafters.
3. Breaking it down to Talk is Cheap
4. Head-walking
5. Swinging onto the stage for the final song, Wake the Dead, grabbing the microphone and singing the last bit with a bunch of Hong Kong hardcore kids.
6. Losing my voice
7. Getting battered and bruised, and dishing out some batterings and bruisings
8. Hearing all my favourite songs including Lorelei.
