Well I am in Hong Kong...
Good and bad news really.
The good news is I am staying in the building that Sam lau teaches WC in, am 5 mins away from Wan Kam Leungs class and across the road from another school.
The bad news is the day before we flew in from bangkok, I felt like I had been stabbed under the ribcage and through to my back. I nearly didnt make the flight but dropped some painkillers and went anyway as its only 2 hours.
So spent 6 hours at the Hospital in HK, xrays etc and lots of waiting around to be told "No Wing Chun for at least 4 weeks" by the Doc. This on my first day.
So I am doing the touristy stuff and have also had to put off Kung Fu school in China for a few weeks too. Mrs Bully has said we can try and get back to HK on this trip if we can as she can see how frustrated I am.
On a more positive note, I went and paid my respects to Ip Man at his grave today. Not being a religious person, previous visitors had left incense sticks and a lighter so I lit 2 and then performed SLT as it was all I could think of to do that was relevant. Good job no locals were around as they would have thought...another Gwai lo doing bad Wing Chun on a grave!!!
HK itself is a great place and I would recommend anyone to come here, food is great and tranport around here is excellent. Lots to do and see and people are very friendly and helpful.
One thing is a lack of Martial arts shops (in Kowloon) only found 2 and neither were that great.
Gong to the park tomorrow to watch the Kung Fu show, shoudl be interesting. We go to Foshan on Tuesday and again no training for me
Cheers
Bully
