Hot showers and cold fronts

Switched to the business hotel this morning and had our first hot shower in a couple of days. We're now right across the road from some kind of school, as far as we can tell: bizarre Big-Brother-type pronouncements come out every few minutes over the superloud PA telling the students to finish their worksheets before playing video games. Freedom is slavery!

So last night a cold-weather warning was issued in the HK region, and volunteers have been mobilised to help prepare the elderly and infirm. The low today is a bone-chilling 13'C and it's expected to dip as low as 10'C tomorrow. When I called my aunt, she warned us to bundle up. The note of urgency and concern in her voice was touching but amusing.
