It's my last morning here, and I'm finally getting a proper cup of coffee. The ka fei here leaves a great deal to be desired. Even at Pacific Coffee, my cafe mocha tasted like milo. Thank you Krispy Kreme for decent coffee and great donuts =)

In a short while I'll be heading to meet e1 for the chanel mobile art exhibition, passing by the post office on the way to send some postcards home (btw, anyone who wants postcards from Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Beijing, etc can email me their address, and I'll do my best - it's always fun to send postcards and even more fun to recieve them, no?). On the way back the egg tarts shop should be open and I will get some buns and egg tarts for the long train journey ahead.

Will be getting on the T100 at 1515h to Shanghai, arriving about 11am tomorrow morning. i have yet to read up on Shanghai or plan my itininery there, but then I'll have 20 hours on the train to do that.. on an open bunk hard sleeper (but I've kind of been training up for the hard sleeper I guess -sleeping on the floor on a thick blanket this past week =P)

As anyone can tell by now, I really like HK. It's a one-sided view, to be sure, but I've seen enough to think I can live here. Granted also, I've liked most places I've travelled to, except a few of those that were seen in a hurry (and no country or place really deserves to be experienced in a hurry. Places, like people, take time to warm up to and let you in). Perhaps it is the relative amonomility and hence freedom I can enjoy in a foreign country that is so enticing and not HK itself. It's hard to tell.

Running out of time. I'm still wondering why my backpack is so huge (by my usual standards) and how I can lighten or just downsize it despite my fear of cold weather ahead. I so should write more about HK but my mind is already moving on to Shanghai =P
