Once upon a clear sky in Hong Kong
Sunny days with blue sky were hard to come by during my little sojourn in Hong Kong. We had snatches of it on our first day – ah, what a bright welcome – and then the city was just shrouded in foggy whiteness/greyness on the following days. I was beginning to wonder if I was actually in Hong Kong or in Beijing… Lo and behold, on the final day of my trip, I woke up to clear blue sky and everything was basking in shimmering light!
This was a wonderful end to a vacation that I could have only hoped for, and lucky to have got it. I was also ready to go home; no amount of WhatsApp (emoji) messaging across several time zones, on top of limited internet access, could replace hugging and chatting with F in real life. I admit it – I miss that guy.
Had F travelled with me, I don’t think he would particularly enjoy navigating the sea of people in central Hong Kong areas. He would have loved trekking the green and hilly portions of the islands and find some clear waters to swim in. He may also be tired of me dragging him from one eatery to another, and he will definitely shake his head when he sees the content of my suitcase (1/3 filled with food!) on the way back. ;)
Massive thank you to SL once again for playing host to a germ-bearing guest, compiling all kinds of useful visiting information, taking me to the best places to eat, and being amazing in general. It has been a lot of fun catching up! :D
