it was a warm and sunny hong kong on the 31st december; a mother and son walked the streets looking for a last minute holiday nibbles. wandering into marks and spencers, one push started 2013 off with a bang...literally. blood poured from the mothers face and the son scrambled paniced at what to do. luckily, some ambulence drivers were around the corner at a fund raiser and off they raced to the nearest hospital. 3 cuts, 2 bumps and 4 stitches later we welcomed 2013.
the poor haggis' mum took a nasty fall on her trip out here and it has since been our focus. she is doing fine - barring massive bruising all around both eyes and feeling a bit senstive. but the real question is, who pushes old women? honestly, only in hong kong, only the chinese would push an old lady. i am accustomed to it and believe you me, i push back - harder. but she wasnt ready for it and at an older age, lost her footing and down she went landing flat on her face.
anyway, she has been a trooper and we are all off tomorrow morning for saigon. it was her christmas gift from us.
welcome 2013 - may it be a year that opens with a bang but goes smoothly along from here on out!
