So, it's my second week of work and things are starting to look okay. I haven't yet ventured into an actual restaurant to try and order anything, but I'm content with the assortment of cake shops around here. Considering I ate at one place for the past 7 years for lunch, I'll probably be happy with this routine. Besides, it's cheap. Of course, so are the restaurants. Assuming you're happy with noodles or fried rice or something else similar that is easy to mass produce, you can eat for $20HK a day. Which works out to $2.50 CDN. Of course, my cake shop pastries usually work out to about $2 CDN, so that's even better.
I don't think it's related to the cake shop lunches, but I'm starting to seriously think about signing up for the gym downstairs. It's nice and convenient, and as I alluded to above, I'm not currently able to effectively order meals, so I have a lot of time on my lunch break. What better way to waste it than sweating to the oldies?
Other than that, things are still pretty hectic. I haven't any trips planned for work yet, but I believe that the Japanese organization was making noises about having me come out for a visit. And of course, work still hasn't finished transferring over my information so I can't access a number of important work websites. I'm betting it will be another week or so before it's all set up. If it's that quick.
On the weekend we finally had some slack time that we could spend outdoors, and I started to miss everyone. I don't know how long it will be before I get really sad when I'm home alone and don't have Katey telling me to go play computer, or to stop dancing, or the boys asking me to play games. Not yet anyways!
Oh, we have geckos. They're so cute. I suppose they're technically vermin, but they eat insects, and anything that clears mosquitoes from my place is fine by me.
