Today started quite surreally with a wake up time that I haven’t done in over a month. I got up at 8:30 to see my friend Aurelia good-bye. After a night of drinks, we all woke up early for some coffee that I feel we did as protocol rather than necessity. I’m starting to feel quite sad to be leaving Hong Kong (a feeling I honestly believed wasn’t going to happen), but is probably happening because of the people I’ve met. For the girls I’ve befriended, all of us will still be in Asia for at least another month; however, not all in the same places at the same times. And I can’t even begin to start about all the dudes from HKfixed that I’m going to miss, it’s going to be tough as some return from abroad while some of us leave. But I guess that’s how travels go. We pass each other spatially but stay connected experientially. As in any traveller story, Celia handed me her travel guide that has already passed through at least 2 other hands and will continue to keep passing to others.
I’m going to miss the friends I’ve made in Hong Kong. However, I’ll hold back for now as we’ve still officially got 5 days over the next month.
