Don, Spooks and I have moved to Penang. We absolutely love it. We have acquired our selves a lovely and decrepit old bungalow with a garden. Quality of life is great. People here are kind and friendly and smile a lot. Weather is pleasant except between noon to 3pm when it is too hot to be walking about. Food, selection of different regions and fusion, is excellent, and is most reasonably priced.

We had always thought of of ourselves as Hong Kong people, had never thought we would ever leave our lovely home and garden in Ha Yeung, but pollution — air, noise, light, and tourist — has forced us to make this decision. We love this new paradise. All the same we miss you, Hong Kong.

Now where could they have hidden my village?

Now where could they have hidden my village?

But we’re Penang people now.
