Hong Kong - March 2019

When I moved to HK, the Observation Wheel was HKD100 (A$18). I never got round to doing it. Then it was taken over by another operator and is now HKD20 (A$3.62) ! So one night when the queue wasn't too long, I tried it. It was just okay. Better views from some rooftop bars !





Tried a new place in Gough Street (Sama)...


Used my potato press to make some pesto gnocchi...





Wearing my new tie which Alex gave me for Christmas...


I love how HK office buildings have so many restaurants. I don't know how they all survive.


Bought some lilies for the apartment...


Having a mould problem so invested in a dehumidifier. Seems to do the trick...

Bangkok - March 2019

Back to Bangkok for a partner conference that I have arranged.

Flew Friday morning. Wanted to get there and spec out the place. Got upgraded to Premium Economy at the gate. Staying at W Bangkok this time. Nice room...


Went to the pool and was served gelato...



Had some pad thai by the pool...


Part of the hotel was this old colonial building where we had drinks and then dinner in the courtyard...



Due to the Thailand elections, there was a 24 hour alcohol ban from 6pm on Saturday. It was very strictly enforced. Our solution was to rent the Presidential Suite and stock it with alcohol before 6pm. We couldn't have any hotel staff in the room while we were drinking which was fine.

The bathroom was pretty impressive...



Loungeroom...


Kitchen / living room...



Mojito making kit !


Did a dinner cruise on the river. Lovely night...




We had conference on the Saturday and then cooking class team building on the Sunday...




We cooked in teams and were scored. Then we had a great lunch...


Melbourne - June 2024

 Had to go to Melbourne for work. Flew on the Monday morning and straight to the office. After work I checked in to Voco and crossed Lonsdal...
