Arriving late for the Game of Thrones party was no bad thing

Like many people in China and around the world I've developed quite an obsession for Game of Thrones, and especially now that it has reached its finale.

But unlike most fans of the HBO epic that's been the best part of a decade in the making, I developed a taste for the epic tale quite late on. Well, just a few weeks ago, to be precise.

In the unlikely event you haven't seen it, Game of Thrones is a fantasy romp loosely based on England's War of the Roses but set in a mythical world made up of warring factions featuring dragons, eunuch armies and legions of the undead.
