still just a visitor
met up with yf and wq just now and as i thought of where to bring them to eat, i realized that i'm still pretty much unfamiliar with this place. if not for me going there 15mins earlier to recce the place, i won't even have known the right exit to go to ladies' market. and i couldn't even think of a nice place to eat. other than kennedy town and aberdeen, where else do i know that sells nice, cheap dimsum?
and there is also the small matter of language. i still needed to point and gesture to order food. perhaps i really should have taken cantonese class.
ah well. i probably can't proclaim that this place is my home away from home. it's been only 4 months anyway. short, yet it felt like a lifetime as well.
this journey has only a week left in it. and as i become the only one left with exams, it's been really nice to hear some words of encouragement.
one more time, to myself, jiayou :)
