NYE'06|NYD'07

New Years Eve was spent with Gina and her friend Sinclair. They are both from Singapore and Gina is one of the interns from LaSalle College SIA doing her arts management placement at the Fringe Club – Sinclair works in theatre and dance and was visiting HK for a couple of weeks and is one of Gina’s close friends.

We had a nice Korean meal then walked to Lan Kwai Fong which was stuffed full of drunk gweilos (non asian people) so we scurried down a side street to what has become one of my favourite little haunts “The Baby Buddah”. It was empty when we got there at 8.30pm and began our vodka intake for the night. “The Baby Buddah”, introduced to me by Eric, is a little inside / outside bar and it was truly the best place to be in Hong Kong on New Years Eve; it wasn’t crowded at any time throughout the night, there were great beats playing, and we were close to the gweilo crowd so we could hear the countdown and Auld Lang Syne being played on the bagpipes by some Chinese dudes dressed in kilts (cultural confusion kicks in right about now).

It was great to get your texts and talk to all of you on New Years Eve.

New Years Day involved getting over a slight vodka head with a fry up of omlette and bacon from a 24/7 fry up joint down the road and then going to see Casino Royal – which was perfect fodder for a dullish brain – then off to see Eric who had returned that prior evening from little ol’ Adelaide.
