Thank you all for your kind Christmas messages. We arrived in Hong Kong a couple of days ago after being stuck in a snow storm in Beijing for more than six hours, where we transferred. We were the lucky ones, others had to camp in the transit lounge for several days. Apparently, it was the heaviest snow fall in Beijing in 60 years.
I am busy house hunting, but yesterday I squeezed in a visit to M. at the quarantine facility.
His “jail” cell is very nice, but of Hong Kong proportions: a small glass closet with shelving and several boxes to cozy up in along the walls. The employees are very nice, and M. seems to be ok, just a bit bored.

And now let’s open the door and leave this place.
The neighbor from the cell next door looks a bit iffy if you ask me. Probably serving time for mouse murder.
M. has to stay there for another two months, but I hope our visits will help to get him over his boredom.
With all of the scares about the swine flu and other sicknesses. I wonder how long it will be before we are “jailed” when we travel?
