Returning to the UK!!

Hey all,

I'm sure you already got my email about me coming back!! Hm... I know about this blog er.. is there a way of it informing us when we have a new post? I kind of forget this website.

Its a shame that your resturant idea fell through. Its kind of really difficult in England, especially with all the competition and the expense of renting. Not to mention the housing market prices for buying property. Steve has ideas for business in China, but investment is always a problem!!

It sounds like you had a really good time over Bonfire night and Halloween! They don't celebrate it here! So it's difficult to see much fireworks. I went to my cousin's wedding in HK over the Halloween weekend, saw my parents and uncles and aunts. It was really tiring, but I ate lots of good food. Miss the food in HK!!! The wedding was ok, I definately don't want a wedding in HK, it was like a photo shoot and the registry was so rushed, and had not much meaning. It was definately a lot of posing and cheesy ideas of love, that was very tacky! Pink feather pen to sign the marriage certificate etc.. explain more later! Too many things wrong with it, very embarrassing!

I've been to Yauatcha too. I think it is ok. A place that you just go once to try the different types of combinations they have done. But not a place to go often, expensive and portions aren't very filling. But yeah, the decor of it is good! Waterloo 3D imax theatre is good too. Think I went to watch Harry Potter there too one time. The spiders in 3d were quite scary!! How is the newly refurblished Ronnie Scotts? I've only been once and that was before it was refurblished. It was really nice in there too, relaxed atmosphere.

I think the Studio Ghibli set is the same as mine. I've found one with 21 disks too!! Is there any DVDs in particular that you want? I may have to open them first to try out if they work, before I bring it back to you though. It would be a shame if it didnt work after taking all the way back to the Uk. I brought a copy of the Lake House, which is typical girly flick. They copied it from a Korean movie which I want to find. Any requests?

They children are all ok. Its pretty tiring teaching them as you need so much energy. I am thinking of teaching them about witches and princesses, princes etc... They are so cute. The boys over here aren't like the ones back home. The children don't seem to care about material possessions or the clothes that they wear etc... Most of the clothes are hand me downs. Some boys wear girls clothes, which is confusing sometimes. They also seem to like the colour pink when asked, but maybe that is because of their limit of colours. Also the boys are very enthusiastic at pretending to be princesses which I thought was really funny!!

There is this one child that is so adorable, they all are, but this one in particular looks like a penguin and he cant speak properly as he is so young and he can't form words clearly, even in Mandarin! He's just so enthusiastic and adorable!! Hehe.

Come to visit over the Xmas period Julie!!! Hehe. It'll be absolutely freezing though. I'm wearing at least 2 pairs of socks, two trousers, three/four tops and a coat, also a scarf and gloves too!! Very cold!0

Remind me when I am back in the UK and I will get a copy of the receipe for you from my mum!!

Anyways better go now.
Speak soon
