-^-for posterity-^-

i'm still at the hong kong airport and i still have an hour untill i leave for hanoi.

time to describe this place:

i see newness and crazy designs everywhere. this building is designed to look as busy as possible. there are no squares or logical corners. there are only strange curves and diagonal lines that seem to have no function. the roof is huge and covered in odd triangles that make squares that are set against arching celings and windows. there is a large bay window segmented into very small windows all adding to the confusion. there are pictures and chinese characters everywhere. there are strange names too like super bbq and young boy sushi. outside there is a moutian now illuminated in the morning sun. the mist has lifted and it is the perfect backdrop for the huge planes that seem to be strewen about randomly like large play insects. people scurry around. some amble but all are moving. there is also light everywhere but in strange places. everything is designed to confuse the eye and befuddle the mind. my opinion of course. maybe i'm easily confused! i hear mumbling and carts rolling about. not much talking. sounds like a hospital. i smell nothing at all. i feel my weight pressing against my feet as i have to stand at this internet cafe. my legs are weighted due to long hours traveling. my hands are also weary. i feel tired. i feel emotionally drained after saying good bye to everyone. two years is a long time at moments. other times it feels like a brief moment.

what ever it is, i'm in a new place and as with all new places, some of it feels like a dream. i like to dream but it's also pleasant to experience reality.
