Up early, had some breakfast and went down to see the Chan She Shu Yuen Temple in Chinatown. Unfortunatly it was all under reconstruction but took some great photos of a lot of scafolding! Really pretty inside though and actually quite quiet compared to a lot of the other temples I have been to. Started heading back to the train station and stumbled across a market so went to have a nose. I think my mother would have actually been in heaven, everything there ...

Couple of really boring days. I have been really ill so spent the whole of the 3rd Jan curled up in bed.

Went to see the film, have you heard about the Morgans, which was a bit cheesy but I think what I needed. I also didn't think that I could get away with seeing Avatar again no matter how much I loved it. Finished my book at last which is good as now I am entitled to b...
