I might not get the chance to write for the next two weeks. I’ve decided not to bring my computer (too much hassle), and the days of internet cafes are nearly done with in any modern city. So, that being said, I’ll just catch everyone up with a blog-a-palooza upon my return - with pictures as promised.
We bought a new camera, one of those things that are so tiny they can fit in your pocket easily, so there should be a lot of them. The quality? Who knows. Not as good as some, better than most.
It should be strange to visit HK again. There are a lot of ghosts in the streets for me, not all of whom are good spirits. That being said, I think that I will have a better, more pleasant, experience of the city. I think I read somewhere that we all leave pieces of us behind in the places that we have lived, and that upon our return, what we really feel when we return to them is that we are reconnecting with the ghosts of our former selves.
I think that’s true. I fully expect to see a version of myself walking along Wyndham Street to yoga class, or refilling my octopus card in the station.
