Last minute thoughts before bed.

Half way through the "great trek". One of the students enjoying a rest!

Have just been enjoying a small party given by our next door neighbours; my theatre prof Ted for his wife Sylvia who leaves us in Shanghai. There were nine of us drinking a toast to her, airing all our facetious thoughts about the hierarchy on the ship and the Cultural Pre-ports which are mandatory and waste alot of time which could be better spent on learning really helpful things about our next country. The tips about what to expect, the medical and security information are helpful but looking at family photos and hearing unhelpful personal experiences add little to our knowledge....still some of the students enjoy it so shouldn't grumble I suppose.

We arrive in Hong Kong in 7 hours so as I can't get any more photos on here I should go to bed. We'll be doing a city orientation tour tomorrow and then our own thing after that. Victoria Peak, the Ferry and Temple Road (a market) are musts apparently, and I think we shall be eating out quite a bit.

Good night! Present time is 1 am.
