Vignettes: An English Girl in Hong Kong, 1970

Well, Tim, here i am flat on my back. No, i don't mean i've succumbed to the pleasures Wanchai. It's just that i've been laid low with food poisoning. Quite infuriating it is as there's a super party on tonight and I'm just going to have to miss it. Also it is Chinese New Year's day, so gong hei fat choy! Thus commences the year of the dog, a very bad year for marriage, so you might as well leave it another year before you think of sending me one of your telegrams!
