My guess is that everyone will answer "no" to this, but let's see.

 Were you born earlier than your expected due date?

I think so, LM.  I wasn't supposed to be born in Hong Kong, but if I was on time, I would've been born in Canada. :)

What a great story.  I guess you were an independant thinker with plans of your own!
 
 Do you get extra privilidges for being born in HK?  (British passport?)

I looked into that LM and supposedly, have to have lived there for a period of several years. I really really really wished that I had HK passport.  It would be nice to have a second passport, legally. :)

I was even told that my mom was *this* close to miscarriaging me during third trimester.  She was on a ship and it was thundering and pooring where she slipped but was lucky.  I am lucky. :))
