We celebrated my birthday night in a Greek restaurant with Fiona a teacher from the Australian International School who befriended Sarah from Day 1 here. Yummy food and then we had Irish coffee and cake at another venue, very nice! The night finished rather sedately as my feet turned into something quit foreign. They did not belong to me!! The humidity is unbelievable, all the expats are complaining. So next day, after a very leisurely morning dropping our washing off to the little laundry down the road we decided to investigate Sarah's local area. A chemist, doctor, dentist and supermarket within 1 minute walk so we didn't have to go far!
After trying to solve some more dilemmas with uploading photos Andrew and I walked down town to the bus terminal and caught a bus to the Peak, we did the tourist thing and sat upstairs , right in the front and took in all the views. Andrew noticed a changed landscape from when he was up there 13 years ago. We lunched at Bubba's, an American restaurant dedicated to Forest Gump. I could have had my photo taken with the box of chocolates but chose not to instead we looked at the costumes and the memorabilia from the set. Of course prawns and chips were on the menu from Lieutenant Dan's prawning vessel. Anyhow the views were good not to hazy.
Thursday night we met Sarah's foster parents here Greg and Anne, her principal and his wife. We met at the Mon Kok market and had a delicious meal of spicy crabs, chicken and fish. Greg and Anne were lovely, Sarah will miss them as they are going to Vietnam next semester. A very hot night so beers went down well, we walked the extensive night markets and bought a few things before heading back.
