Everyone, ok I'm exaggerating not everyone but loads and loads of people, have been writing about the Wuhan virus these couple of weeks. I almost feel left out for not writing one myself.
Before I do, DKK wants to say hi to everyone, you may remember him from last year's video!!
LEAVING TAIWAN
In my post last week, I talked about how I had to suddenly change my travel plans to come back to England. With the Wuhan virus escalating since January, Taiwan was getting stricter with non residents entering the country. On Valentine's day, hubby and I left for Singapore. It was supposed to be a visa run / Valentines weekend away. We ended up leaving with three suitcases not knowing when we'd be back. So much for a Valentine's break.
A couple of days before I was due to fly out, the Wuhan virus had blew up in Singapore. Just my luck! I was supposed to get away from it not towards it! Both airports in Taiwan and Singapore were pretty deserted.
ARRIVING UK
A week after leaving Taiwan, I finally arrived back to the UK on 21st February. Home sweet home. However, my Wuhan virus journey was far from over yet, the toughest part was just to begin. Although I'm pretty sure I'm not infected as I've been keeping my distance from people, I still decided to self quarantine myself. I wanted to make sure my family, particularly the kids like DKK were safe.
When I arrived UK, we only had 9 confirmed cases of the Wuhan virus. People were pretty chilled out about the whole situation. Two weeks later, it had rose to 160 cases. Panic buying had started and these are the supermarket shelves when I went to get my groceries. A familiar scene in many countries across the world now. The Wuhan virus had followed me to UK, but I swear I didn't bring it with me!!!!
Finally, after two weeks self quarantine near London, I finally headed back home to the west country. This is my first glimpse of London for a long time, it was gloomy but it was great to see London and home again.
