Long weekend

It's been awhile since I've updated my blog, these days I just don't want to sit infront of my computer, even though I do have a lot of things to say in my blog. Anyways, just to let you guys know that I'm still alive, it's just that I've been busy recently.

This week is bank holiday, as many of you who lived in UK will know that, there isn't a lot of public holiday, unlike Hong Kong, seems like every month has at least 1 day of public holiday (perhaps not that many, but you get the picture). Therefore, britz will take use of this long weekend (Yes, Monday is public holiday, it's bank holiday Monday..) to travel around or to have some sort of family gathering. I still remember when I first came over in UK, I cannot understand why there isn't any shop open on bank holiday Monday, now I do. I think these years are getting better, at least you can go to supermarket to get some food, although they may not be as fresh as you wish, but you can still do something. Unlike Hong Kong, public holiday just means there are a lot of people everywhere, shops open till late. In here, it just means it will be very quiet or I should say DEAD.

At least, I know one place is busy over the bank holiday, that is hotels, like the hotel that I'm working, we were basically full last night. It was just amazing how many people come in and ask if we have any rooms available. Although this does happen from time to time, especially weekend, I still find last night incredible.

For me, bank holiday is just the same, thats because I usually need to work on bank holiday (I don't mind to work over bank holiday, this just means that I've got a spare day of holiday later on the month). This is probably the first time that I don't have to work over bank holiday, quite unusual for me.
