In danger of sounding like a politician, I officially rescind my condemnation of ube. I do not apologize, however for badmouthing ube flavored ice cream, candy, and/or snack bars. Ube, as a root vegetable, is quite delicious and the purpley potpourri of flavors is, indeed, very nice.
In other news, there has been a cold weather warning issued in Hong Kong. Quick, get out your parka and puffa jackets, it’s below 60 degrees! For the past two nights the temperature has been hovering around 58 degrees and during the day it has been a frigid 65 degrees. I’ve been wearing sweaters and scarves to work and compared to my co-workers, I am practically naked. They are all wearing pea coats and wooly sweaters. I don’t know how they are not passing out from overheating. Additionally, the heat is on at public transportation facilities. The HEAT.
“Take care Emma. Do not get too cold. Where is your coat?!”

The English Socity pictures are wonderful!
