Organic Fruit & Veg

Overall, I have been reasonably happy with the food I have found at Wellcome and Stop & Shop, Taste and Jason's - although there isn't much in the way of organic produce. I also have concerns about local organic foods (have you seen the black film the rain leaves behind?)

So when I recently heard about the possibility of organic fruit and veg delivered to your door from Australia, I jumped online and found Aussie Organics (http://www.aussieorganics.com/). Why didn't I do this months ago??

I just put in my first order for a huge box of organic fruit and veg! I'm so excited.

**Must say that after the veg and fruit arrived I was not impressed. Green bananas. Wilted broccoli. Food that just didn't look "fresh." But I might just order it again. Because it's organic. Because it's good for our family. Maybe I'll try just one more time.**

Buying A Car

When my husband and I moved to Hong Kong, we needed to buy two used cars. After a significant amount of research we came across Vin's Motors in Hong Kong.

We have been extremely happy with the cars and the service provided by Vin's Motors. Even though we purchased used cars, Vin's will cover the cost of labor for anything that needs fixing in the first year. They will also arrange towing or pick-up of cars from Sai Kung and then deliver them back to you after repair.

And for smaller repairs, there is an automotive shop just past the Fuk Man Road round-about (on the left) as you head toward country park. The service there is great and the people are really nice.

**MUST WARN YOU -- I just found out it is NOT illegal to reset the odometer, so look for service records and compare odometer reading with last service, with the car's current number**
