Away Team,
More than a month after my HK trip and just 5 days away from my Seoul-searching trip again and I still haven't updated you on what has happened so far. Sorry, I've been drowning in work as you have been with school.
Anyway, the big news is, MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH HONG KONG HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED. I may have mentioned this to you in passing during one of our phone convos but I am officially declaring it here. I don't know if it had to do with the weather or whatever but I just don't feel the same way about it compared to my previous visits. I was wandering all over Hong Kong but I can feel my heart breaking. No, I am not being melodramatic for this post but it was exactly what I felt while I was going around HK. The skyline which never fails to bring butterflies to my stomach was replaced by a feeling of a lost love. I've never been in love with a person but I think I experienced my first love (and first heartbreak) with a place. Still, I had fun while I was there but the comfort it brought me can now be likened to a good 'ol friend, not a crush I can't wait to see every single time. I don't think I'll be coming back just yet in the next few years. Well, unless it is with you, of course. Hong Kong will always be special to us because it's our first trip together. :)
[I just spent the last 20 minutes or so trying to upload a few pictures to no avail. Just pretend I have pictures with these words, okay? I promise to upload some next time.]
Moving on, Macau though is a different story. I think on this trip, I enjoyed my stay in Macau more than in HK. If the first time I went I said Macau is just somewhere people work, now I realized it can be homey as well. ^^ Got to explore more side streets and food this time since we spent 2 days there. We even attended a Portugese mass. LOL. Really chill place and I was surprised so much has changed since I last visited. I will definitely go back again, hopefully before the year ends or maybe next year. ;) Even Mama loved it there.
[At this point, pretend I have some more pictures for you.]
Anyway, need to start packing again. Can't wait to see you again in December!
Love,
Home Team
