I'm back, in time to enjoy a few peaceful days in Hong Kong before going back to work on Tuesday. With so many people out of town, it's easier to get a table for dim sum, the roads are less busy and the shopping centres less crowded.
Whilst I was away, I managed to avoid reading any newspapers or watching anything more than a few minutes of CNN, so I am still catching up on the news I missed. England seem to have beaten the West Indies again, which is quite something for those of who remember when test matches between these two nations only ever seemed to have one result, and three of the Champions League quarter-finals had surprising outcomes. Not a good few days for Arsenal.
The interpretation of the Basic Law by the National People's Congress seems to be the big local story, but it hasn't really settled anything, and they still seem to be squabbling in Taiwan. Is that all? Did I miss anything important?
Welcome back.
No, you haven't missed anything. The riots have still not started. Hope you are in time to witness more drama in Hong Kong.
Cheers!
