Gochugaru Girl has 24 hours in Lantau Island to rest before an onward flight to Shanghai.
To maximise both sightseeing and sleep time we are staying as close to the airport as possible.

Orange, Honey and Ginger Cake
Gochugaru Girl is a bit embarrassed to admit that she made a mistake with her latest cake.
In my desperation to prevent dehydration, I misread the recipe and drank the orange juice instead of putting it in the cake.
Rainy Days and Mondays
Gochugaru Girl woke up this morning to a very grey and very wet day in London.
The book I am currently reading is called ‘when the bottom drops out’*. It might be better called ‘when the roof caves in’ as there is a leak in our roof and water damage to the ceilings.
Fresh Soya Milk
Gochugaru Girl was advised this week to drink more.
It is a good thing the consultant didn’t say I should eat less.
A Bit of a Fishy Story
Gochugaru Girl had a slightly heated discussion with Junior One recently.
The subject was: is it worth going to a restaurant which only serves tinned food?
Japchae (잡채)
Gochugaru Girl has been consulting a treasured book on noodles.
This book* has been sitting on my shelf for 15 years, and re-reading it shows how much London, and I, have changed.
Cranberry and Orange Cake
Gochugaru Girl is not happy with the sudden change in weather.
Much as I like collecting umbrellas, I really prefer not to use them.
Escape from Camp 14: From Shanghai to Seoul
Gochugaru Girl recently spent a morning being troubled by one recurring question.
If it is difficult to enter China with a valid passport, how much more difficult would it be to enter if you did not have a passport?
