I had almost 38 degrees fewer last night when I got home, now 37,5... SARS anyone? :D
Sorry to hear Sampsa, hope you get better quickly.
Maybe your body thinks it's still in HK? :D
My body got one hell of a shock too. From 36'C in HK to 6.5'C in Australia when I arrived - it sucked. After a solid 12hr sleep I feel much better :up:
I ended up drinking all night and getting on the plane in a pretty average state. The only way I avoided the hangover was by just keeping drinking - not ideal :shakes: :para::help: Thank fully I was never sick :sick:
I was really happy this time!
I'm satisfied very much with good thing I have gone there.
Thanks to all, and Congrats to all the prize winners.
