I just come back form a 3 weeks long vacation in HK.\u00a0 Every time I go to a long vacation, there are tons of aftermaths waiting me come back to deal with.\u00a0 When I am on vacation, I couldn’t do laundry often.\u00a0 Together with the dirty clothes before my vacation, I have to wash 4 loads of clothes, double the amount of my usual load.\u00a0 Three weeks is not a long time, but my mail box is already full of bills and junk mails.\u00a0 It took me quite some time to sort out my mail and to my surprise, I receive a X’mas card from an old friend.\u00a0 Too bad that it is too late to send him a reply.\u00a0 Thanks Lenny.\u00a0 I do have internet access in HK, so I am up to date with my personal email.\u00a0 However, I won’t check my work email while I am on vacation, my mailbox is really full.\u00a0 It took me almost a day to clear the pile, catch up with the discussions and make response to those not so urgent questions.\u00a0 Nevertheless, the most time consuming task is to catch up the last 3 issues of Economist.\u00a0 On average it takes 3 hours to read one issues, so I am still at least 9 hours aways cleaning up the long vacation aftermath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
