Update- recent past

Quit
I have quit my job as a Children's Art Teacher - I want to devote more time to learning Cantonese.
I really want to learn Cantonese, and working full-time makes that difficult.

I am considering some other opportunities, but for now I want to catch up on HK experience. More to say later when there's more concrete (firm, sure, solid) plans.

So far been spending a few days practicing Chinese writing for 3-4 hours and studying Cantonese. Also brushing up on local news, and hanging with locals.

Can-tonese or Can't-onese
I am taking 4 hours of classes of Cantonese a week.
I wish I could have more - but this'll have to do.
I am taking it at the YMCA - the course is excellent. Level 1 finishes tonight and Level 2 starts next week.
I had my exam last friday and afterwards a classmate and I went drinking at a local bar. From 9pm on the time and beers just flew by. After 6 hours of drinking and great conversation, Alison and I stumbled - wait, she's Irish - Alison and my stumbling self went out into the night.

More details?
Photos precede this.
