A Quick Update

Well it has been a week and a half since my Mom left and it has not been idle.

I am doing more editing and writing for Moonkkang. This time historical fiction. I'll be writing mostly on British history and Hong Kong. The books will be used for the Moonkkang branches in China which, I am led to believe, will soon be in full operation (at present only a few schools are). Hong Kong is especially nice because in December....

I will be going to Hong Kong. It is $300 on Air India from Incheon and I have a week off so I will just go from Wed-Sun with Mike. It is a cheap hop down to one of, if not my favourite, city on earth. I'll also get to Macau, which I have never been to before. I understand it is mostly gambling and hookers (Las Vegas before it became all family friendly and whitewashed) but there is a neat Portuguese colonial history as well that is worth exploring and being that it is a day trip, worth the ferry ride.

I am also looking to pay off the last of my British Columbia student loans by next spring. Their "management" has been horrendous and with some consequences to me personally, I have decided to just pay them all off asap. It is actually a very trivial sum so it seems foolish not to just be done with them.

I have been hitting the gym hard with Zeke and Will and am feeling great for it (though sore). Will keep that up through the winter and hopefully get fit for the spring. Blood pressure and waistline are down and ability to lift something heavy and put it down for no reason is up. Also running regularly (though increasingly at the gym..... I am a cold wimp).

My second school paper is coming along nicely, though I will probably spend this weekend (it is a 3 day weekend for me) working on it and Moonkkang stories.
