56 Minutes of Fun!

Last night we were in bed by 10.15.

Last night we stayed at the Outback Grill for 56 minutes.

Last night we were completely stuffed.

Talk about celebrating in style. Last night Sabrina and i dressed up to celebrate our 2nd anniversary of being away from Australia. Last year we celebrated by going to the Outback Steakhouse so this year we decided to visit its little cousin in Wan Chai. Earlier in the day we both ventured into Shenzhen for another DVD Run.

These flying visits to China remind us all that is horrible about the world's largest nation. It's ugly, smelly and dirty and thats just the people! Seriously these DVD runs are an adventure in themselves. We usually end up going through a restaurant following a shady character whereby we are led into a small room accessed only by a steel garage door. This is the 5th time i have been to shenzhen and everytime i come back to Tin Shui Wai i appreciate what the Brits did in HongKong.

After the door is slammed shut, the dodgy characters give us old tatty folders full of the latest realeases. This time around i packed a book called "1001 Films you must see before you die" which as it turned out to be a waste of time as the older movies that i wanted to get weren't there. So after picking up new movies such as "Munich" "Syriana" and "Brokeback Mountain" and the 8th season of Frasier we made our way back home to a Special Administrative Reigion .

Later in the day we made our way into town where our planned evening of a nice dinner and a few laughs was acutally compacted into less that an hour. The bus ride into town was the coldest i've ever been on and for anyone who has been on buses in Hong Kong, it was bloody freezing. By the time we arrived at 7.55 pm we had arrived in just enough time to order a couple of drinks at happy hour. We sat down on the table and we both felt stuffed. We didn't want to be there as we had both started to fall ill during the day.

The night sunk faster than the Titanic due to the fact that all we wanted to do was get into bed and try and shake off this little flu that started to go around the school. So here i am, on the couch watching "Frasier" and its where i want to be.

Needless to say, it was a great night out, all 56 minutes of it.
