I'm in Hong Kong indefinitely. A problem with my visa kept me from being admitted into Mainland PRC, so....
I'm in a city that looks and feels and pulsates like New York or Tokyo.
It's overcast and drizzly, but people are out at all moments of the day. I can buy Honey Nut Cheerios and eat at Outback Steakhouse. I'm within five minutes of the waterfront. Transportation is efficient and clean and on time.
And yet...I miss Harbin and the faces that make it feel like we belong to each other.
