I don’t want to go to India Reason No.9…

I don’t like Hoiking. When using the work ‘hoik’ I would always prefer explanation No 1. or  No.3. to No.2.(see *’Dictionary meaning’ below)

My sister Christine told the story of a friend of hers visiting India. She said the people collected the small juice boxes, cut off the tops and would hoick into them.

Unfortunately two other words I really dislike demonstrating together are ‘dry’ and *‘retching’ .

When I googled for a photo there were some unexplainable images??? I LOVE GOOGLE… A dog with  crown on, a Mr Potato Head, a digger, a bottle of beer, different photos of wonder bras, the Sydney Opera Hosue, but my favourite by far is shown above; Chef Leung Fai Hung from the restaurant ;Fine Cantonese @ Hoi King Heen, Hong Kong
