Gain or Lose

I don't think I'm suffering from homesickness but I start to feel happy when seeing something 'Hong Kong'. (Don't try to ask: 'Weren't you happy about that before?' This is the type of questions only troublemakers ask) These might be fishballs, Calbee chips, yumcha, movies, news roundup, and even travel book! Sometimes when I am with my Cantonese speaking friends, I have the illusion that I am still in HK!

Tonight I had late night snack with Angela, Julian and Stanley in China Town (where even the waiters speak Cantonese), and it certainly reminds me of our Friday night 'siu-yeah' times. I am pretty amazed about how much has actually happened in HK in the past 2.5 months, and I feel like I have missed something, even though I talk to you guys pretty frequently already.

If I have to say what I lose for deciding to come here, this is certainly one of them...
