Current movements
It's been a while so here are a few quick notes.
1) The band has been playing some gigs and we've been recording a few new songs as well. We set up our gear in a friend's apartment who generously offered to record us on his superfly recording setup. Amazingly none of his neighbours complained about two straight days of drumming. It really is incredible how much noise pollution everyone here is prepared to put up with. The day after recording I was floating around in the pool at my apartment building and heard the sounds of what we'd recorded the day before ! The friend's apartment is in the building next to mine - he saw me floating in the pool and so decided to turn up the music so I could hear it - from 16 floors below!
2) People have been coming by to stay a while and see Hong Kong- it's been nice to have our parents and friends in the city and show them where we live. It's also slightly stressful as we have to keep on thinking of where to take them. It always seems easy, but then isn't.
3) The rain has started with a vengeance - four straight days of rain so far. I keep reading the cautious optimism in the papers back home about 86mm of rain since the end of April, and then compare it to here in amazement - so far this morning alone we've had over 20mm! And yesterday was about 30mm, and so on...
