Jean here. Spending just a few days in Hong Kong - and my, it's hot and humid here - 32 degrees and 90% humidity - much hotter than locals expect and probably going to be even hotter in Singapore and India.

The bit of HK we're staying in is called Harbour City and it's a shopping magnet. So many brand name shops in such a small space, so many people carrying wee bags labelled Dior, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, etc. In Japan, a friend told us 75% of Japanese women own a Louis Vuitton bag and 50% own two! But why? And where do they get the money to buy this stuff?

We did our wee bit for the shopping frenzy by getting Craig fitted for a handmade but plain black suit with no fancy labels or prices - just good craftsmanship and materials. It should be ready for shipping tomorrow so I'll try to put up a photo on the blog tomorrow of Craig in his Blues Brothers finery!
