Those familiar with Google Earth and scouted the territory of Hong Kong will know what I’m nagging about! Anyhoo… I should once again be aboard a Singapore Airlines jet off to Hong Kong, returning to the territory pretty much exactly half a year after I last visited. Both my maternal aunt and uncle had phoned home to Blighty whilst I was away when I checked up on father. He did just about manage to convey the fact I was travelling once again and somewhere in Australia.
So decided to make use of my cheap phone credit and popped a quick phone call to my uncle’s house, where I was greeted by my middle cousin Cheuk Yi, whom now actually recognises my voice and not think it’s some random stranger calling their number! In any case, looks like I’ll be staying with family for this long stop as my maternal grandmother has already threatened to twist my ears off if I start wasting money on staying at hostels/guesthouses/hotels when home is just fine!
I would conceed staying with family would save at least £750 for the 40 nights give or take a bit, which come to think of it sounds utterly extortionate when converted to Hong Kong Dollars… all 10 000 of them! I’ll keep my ten grand thank-you very much!
