The Mad Shuffle

This is exhausting. I keep on moving from place to place without having a place to be. Oh, yeah I haven't actually left yet, I am in homeless limbo, constantly changing between locations. I can't imagine this feeling combined with the physical discomforts of actually being on the streets, it's very tiring and I am not really having fun. I need to soak in the remaining 15 days I will have with friends and familiarity.
I can't even fathom it, 15 days! It isn't going to hit me until I'm there, in the swell of people on a Hong Kong street, all by myself. Yes, it is a thrilling adventure, and as much right as people have to be envious, I maintain I have the right to be scared. I haven't ever had the opportunity to travel alone. And I know it's only 4 days, one of which will be jet lag nap day, but that's at least three days of aimless lonely wandering. Ha. I am being so melodramatic probably because I am so tired and cranky. I'm sure I'll meet a whole gaggle of Australians and waste all my money disgracing myself in bars with my new best friends. 15 days.

Hope you like shopping! If you need to get out of the malls, take a trip to Lantau Island and check out the giant Buddha. It's a beautiful place oddly situated next to the chaos of HK. I'm so excited for you!
