Admin section at GBR is an okay gig. We usually only get one or two taskings a day outside of the usual cleaning and meal runs so it means a lot of personal time for facebook and the gym. Our section was going to boxing class 3 times a week but last class we were down to 5 and now we are not even in GBR so I guess that is the end of it for now. Maybe when we come back in a month. We managed to go out for dinner the other night, wanted to go to the casino restaurant but apparently we are not allowed so instead we went to the Hong Kong Palace. There were some grumbles to begin with as we were looking forward to western food but these soon subsided when the food came out. For the equivalent of less than $20NZD we each had a huge feed of Chinese, Pinfold even had a whole fish, head and all. Although I am still disappointed about my steak. I was expected a slab of meat, but apparently Cantonese style means it is sliced so it can be eaten with chopsticks. I ended up getting maybe 2 slices of it. And chopsticks! Another disaster, still funny to watch. I ended up using a fork that came out with one of the serving dishes. On the ride home we had the sounds cranking and stopped for ice-cream, I reckon the shop keeper had never had that many people say “keep the change” in a row.
The following day we went out shopping in Chinatown and I got myself a $20NZD G-Shock and a $33NZD Omega, didn’t have enough to get the $33NZD Rolex though. Afterwards we went for a swim in the NZ High Commissioners pool which was very relaxing. To finish the week off we are now sitting at the Observation Post above Rove prison and it is raining solidly, probably the first decent spell of rain since we arrived here. The OP is ok because you are away from everyone but I do miss the lack of a gym and internet. Oh well, off to Mbalisuna next which is very similar, but apparently improvements are underway so we will see.
