Australia Day In Hk

Australia Day at the Happy Valley races, originally uploaded by noodlebowl.

We spent Australia Day at work unlike you lucky buggers down under. (I already sound more Aussie here than I do at home, ya flaming dingos)

After work, we went to Australia Day celebrations at the Happy Valley race course organised by the Australian Association of Hong Kong. We watched the horses fly by on a floodlit green field surrounded by high rise apartment buildings whilst chugging alcohol and eating pavlova.

Hong Kong people really do like a flutter. The races are on every Wednesday night and seem to be well attended. Happy Valley racecourse also has sport fields in the centre of the race track - no space is wasted and you can also run around its perimeter.

Not a bad night, sheila, not bad at all.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Oh why, hello.

You be may wondering where I have been. I appear to have misplaced my life somewhere along the track. A big chunk of time was swallowed up a big black hole called my MBA and I have emerged somehow in another country.

We moved to Hong Kong in January 2011. It has been a fast 4 weeks so far. Working, moving from hotel to apartment, hiking, eating and drinking. I am discovering that Hong Kong is not all that it seems; the tall skyscrapers and crowds of people also hide the hidden pockets of nature just a bus ride away.

Let’s see where this adventure takes us! (you can come along for the ride too, if you want)

Project 52: Week 51

We had a Christmas breakfast after our regular aerobics session at the gym, sharing some healthy fruit and festive shortbread. It was odd talking to people I’ve only ever really seen exercising!Check out Jess’s day at FushMush
