You With The Mafia?

So my first week here is almost over. I decided to start doing my stuff here at Chris and Luigi's office at the university. I can't work straight at the flat. I always end up sleeping, eating or watching the box. So yesterday, my uncle and I went for a boat trip with the family of his classmate at Harvard. Jeff, the husband of my uncle's friend, works at HSBC and they're getting relocated here from New York, NY. The boat was cool, they call it the junk boat because its service will be until the last quarter of the year or something. It had a speed boat and a dinghy too. It would be great for small parties, just as my uncle's friend is planning. It's cheap too, for US$30/day with the 3 crewmen, it's almost nothing. Anyway, we went to the smaller HK islands. I forgot the name of first one but it was so small that there are no cars there and the primary mode of transportation are bikes. Then next was Lan Tau, where we had a look at the big-ass Giant Buddha. We ran out of time so we went back after that and missed one island. So tomorrow I don't know what I'll do. I don't feel like shopping on weekends. I'm predicting a lot of people. Haha! But for the night, I'll go to Tsim Sha Tsui to take night shots of HK Island (I postponed it). No wait, I have dinner with my uncle's friend. Maybe I should really go tonight. As for some news, the Airbus A380 had its maiden (I think testing) flight earlier today. Google it if you want to find out. Singapore Airlines will get a fleet of these behemoths. Expect cheaper tickets. That is, if they replace the bar with more seats.
