good bye Hong Kong

It's so sad. I had lots and lots of cool things to write about when I was in HK but I was so busy with all the cool things that I didn't actually have time to write about it. HK was fantastic for so many reasons. The vibe, the ppl, the food, the real coffee, the pampering and just all the fun that is waiting to be had.

For once in my life, I felt like I belonged. You see, there are lots of expats in HK and many of them are asian looking (like myself). I met asians from England, Whales, Canada, Australia, NZ... you get the picture. They were either born in a western country or grew up in one. Proud to see an asian when they looked in the mirror but very aware that they were pretty white on the inside.
On top of this...

There were plenty of Christians that drank. I don't mean drinking til you're drunk, but ones that could appreciate a few drinks. Going out and doing the usual things that I enjoy and being on a similar wavelength to myself. It was great.

Tues- I went to Macau for the day. You actually have to get your passport stamped cos it's an international destination. Different currency too. Sorta funny that my first portugese experience was in Macau, only a 1 hour boa ride from HK.
