Home in Hong Kong
The comforts of being in a home has eluded me for the last three weeks. Well, up till now. I'm sitting on a plush carpet in my aunt's home in Happy Valley with a huge plasma in front of me with over 50 channels to peruse, and I've just had the best bath of my life since I've been in Hong Kong, and I managed to catch the last episode of Amazing Race Asia.
I've missed being in a home, where you can walk out of your room and into a huge living room and a spacious kitchen, and empty spaces to just plop yourself down on. Unlike the student residences, where you walk out of your room into the cold corridors that run identical on every single level. I do already think the student residences at City University of Hong Kong are lovely, and a thousand times superior as compared to the ones in NTU, but a home is heaven compared to that.
I cannot wait to jump into bed. I can't even begin to describe the mattress in the guest room - it's thick and luxurious, and you sink right into it. My mattress in the student residence is hard as a rock, because I was unfortunate enough to get a brand new mattress. It doesn't even make a dent when I jump on it. And by the time my mattress is soft enough, it'll be time to leave.
And I've finally unlocked the mystery to shopping at Fa Yuen Street. That means more contributions to the Hong Kong economy, and happier days to come. But tonight, it's lapping up the simple luxuries of being in a home.
