Last night's lemon drop martinis seem to have cured

Last night's lemon drop martinis seem to have cured my jet lag. A good prescription indeed from Dr Ross! A wicked hangover, however, seems to be a noticeable side-effect. I must talk to him about that!

A couple of pics from yesterday...

(1) Sign spotted inside the University of California campus in Berkeley - just outside the Li Ka-Shing Builidng (thought I was done with him!) This nicely underscores the difference in mentality between HK and California ("bicycles allowed"). In addition, the sidewalks here are covered in chalk artwork, and we saw a group of students picnicking on the grass between the traffic contraflow - both surely imprisonable offences in Asia's city states!

(2) A spork. It may have been camping in Borneo when I first thought of this. Sadly California has beaten me to it - the spork seems to have found its spiritual home.

Although I didn't take any pics, yesterday was also memorable for watching the footy with a group of eight astrophysicists. Despite its trivialities, it is heartwarming indeed to think that such brainiacs also enjoy the relative trivialities of the beautiful game. Actually - Lampard did send one shot into outer space.

Today we are off to San Fran to look for the city's best locally produced decaffeineated skinny huckleberry moccacino with organic flax seed shavings. "Wild American friend Odell" would be delighted.
