jet lag & junk food

YES, I absolutely do miss Hong Kong.
Look at this food I gorged myself with on my last night there.
Who wouldn't miss that?

This next picture is the sun setting on Hong Kong from the plane.
The picture doesn't do the scene justice.
My heart broke a little as I flew away.


But here I am, back in the United States.
What were my first thoughts when arriving?
Let me tell you.
"Why is everyone here so ghetto?"
"How come everybody looks foreign yet speaks English without an accent?"
"The air is so fresh."

And now I'm home. Enjoying Christmas. Eating way too many treats.
Missing the old shirtless men and well-dressed Asians.
A little sad I don't have a security guard to say "Hello Udy" every time I passed through the lobby.
Shout out to Yin.


Utah is nice. It snowed yesterday and even though I felt like a popsicle I appreciated it more than ever before. I even gave everyone I was with a nice lecture on how so many people in the world have never seen the beauty of snow falling from the sky so don't take this Christmas miracle for granted.

Sad to say my Asian life is over. And so is this blog.
