Nearly home

Well I'm on the last leg now. I'm on the train to
York at the moment and
London is predictably packed on a Friday! Bad tempered people fighting
and sprinting down the platform. You don't get that on japan!

Departure

The city university students from 2008 took me out last for probably the best meal I had here. After just five hours sleep I am now at the airport and will be off to the gate soon. Pretty tired but at least it means that I
might sleep! Talking of best meals, I just has the worst. Breakfast at burger king. Yuk!

Yeeeeeaaaaaay!

I have finished all my meetings!!! All seemed to go pretty well too! I rewarded myself by blasting my ears with deerhunter and then
a coffee in pacific coffee.

With Winnie at the Jockey Club

phew

Been a bit busy over the last couple of days. I was at Chinese U yesterday and met up with Winnie and her colleagues. I gave the presentations and we had some, what I think were, good, positive discussions. They took me to (working!) lunch at the Jockey Club and then I rushed off to Kowloon to see an alumnus before heading back the hotel for ( a much-needed) 10 minute power nap! Then it was out again to meet Mike from Lingnan.

Work

A couple of hours preparing for Lingnan today and City U tomorrow followed by CELT e-mails. Now I have finished that I have some free time .... to work on my MA assignment before I head off to Kowloon Tong to meet Mike.

Hotel


How about this for a room with a view??

Coffee


Woke up at 5 but then slept for another 3 hours so that makes 10 hours altogether! I feel better now that I normally do in York ha ha.

Off out straight away for a coffee which I am enjoying right now. I don't think I have ever seen the streets so quiet!

Monday night


Did some work in the hotel and then headed off down Nathan Road for something to eat. Hassled every few steps by guys trying to sell me a tailor-made suit. They have this very clever technique of greeting you like they know you so you have fight the urge to respond to them. This turn-taking behaviour must be hard-wired in my brain. Anyway, I am becoming very good at avoiding eye contact and walking past them.

Back to the hotel and bed at 10 .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
