I don't know about the girls, but this freezing cold weather has certainly turned me off punting at the moment. Too bloody cold to be wondering the streets at the moment.
You've got to be kidding TD. You think mid-November in HK is "freezing cold"!

You must be one of those guys I saw walking around Jordan this evening wearing arctic gloves and thick down jackets - whereas I'm still going around in a short-sleeved shirt. Where I come from this is still late summer weather. Tho I admit HK and Taiwan can get cold, it's only in late-Jan to Feb when the damp chill seeps into your bones over many hours because there's never any heat anywhere. But freezing cold? - have you ever seen frozen water over here?
Reminds me of a Taiwanese house-mate I had back in Boston, where it goes down to -20 C in the winter. This guy weighed about 80 lbs, but come the New England winter, he wore so many layers of clothing he looked like a giant puff ball about to be blown down the street by the next stiff breeze. He'd even wear gloves in the house even tho the house was heated.
