travelogue: Monday 16th Jan

[tielan]

I'll be glad when we hit HK and I'm no longer staying with the parentals.

High Tea in the Shanghai Peace Hotel, built in 1926, closed in 1952, renamed and reopened in 1956, refurbished per 1926 in 2007.

Really awesome high tea.

Very nice dinner.

Mostly, this is what I want to do when I reach HK: just take some time out, not have to walk everywhere, relax, chillax, and get some decent sleep.

Tomorrow, Suzhou.

(Note: Presently in HK with Dad, so internet access to places like Twitter and Facebook is back - huzzah! Have cold - boo! Have been reading Percy Jackson series - am on book 5. How many of these are there anyway? Does he ever plan to stop?)

Five Percy Jackson. There's a sequel series called the Heroes of Olympus, which I think will also be 5 books (2 or 3 are out now).

Ah. I wondered if there was a sequel series seeing as Riourdan left it wide open at the end of the PJ set. :)

Nice, more books to read!

There's also the Egypt series (the name of which I'm blanking on). Two books so far and clearly set in the same world, but with totally different characters.

Egyptian gods and heroes? I am intrigued.
