We recently spent just over two weeks in the Far East taking in both Hong Kong and Vietnam. Very much family orientated and really getting back to our "roots". We went back to my mother's island close to the Chinese mainland and we also went to Angela's home village in North Vietnam.

Oh yeah, I got a bad eye on the morning that we flew out of Heathrow. Conjunctivitis. Spent the first few days, including my birthday half-blind with some sort of scraping action going on with my eyelid and pupil. Not very nice indeed. At least I saw a doctor in the building next to the hotel as soon as I arrive and got onto the antibiotic eye-drops and gel.

Anyway, the whole journey was a tale of food and drink.
