Hong Kong: The End

Thursday, January 23^rd, 2014

By the time I finally got around to writing this post, I was kind of over the blogging part of the trip. The trip itself was fulfilling, interesting, and entirely relaxing.

Of course my last day was the first day on this trip that I woke up fairly early. I had my usual lazy morning, then indulged in a delectable sushi brunch. I went to the market to get a few ripe mangosteens as a thank you gift for my host (his favorite fruit) and figs for myself, then went back to the apartment, wrote a thank you letter, packed, and left.

I had a relaxing bus ride to the airport, then wandered around lost for a few minutes until I found the right terminal to check in. Everything went smoothly until I realized that my flight had no gate. I dealt with an incompetent flight attendant who kept looking at my ticket and pointing at the board (a process which was repeated about five times), then settled in at a random gate until my flight.

When I got back to Taichung, I bought groceries as a homecoming gift to myself (and because I got rid of most of my edible food before leaving).

Thus ends the Hong Kong posts! Many thanks to everyone who stuck it out with me!
