Bags arrived

Through a long, painful and thoroughly miraculous process, my bags were finally hunted down by Kenya Airways, but getting the bags from Uganda into Tanzania is another story in itself. Nonetheless, since the bags arrived we were able to begin climbing Kilimanjaro. Full story (or stories) to come…

Tanzania

Bit of a horror start to the Tanzanian leg… Kenya Airways lost my check-in luggage somewhere between Hong Kong, Bangkok, Nairobi and Entebbe! So the mountain hike is postponed, and will have to be cancelled if my clothes don’t turn up tomorrow.

At work… sort of

Currently in my firm’s Hong Kong office in IFC – just visiting out of curiousity and am being shown around the office by a friend who transferred here from the Sydney office (since he needed to come into work on a Saturday). I succumbed to a compulsion to check my work email. I’m just thankful I don’t have a Blackberry… yet. That is all.
