Goodbye...Again?

Hi Stranger,

Where do I even start. Never would I have thought I would be leaving Vancouver this soon again. It feels as if I literally just came back 2 weeks ago, but somehow, it's been 2 months. My mind is so incredibly calm right now it's actually making me feel out of place. When I was preparing to leave for Rome, I was up all night fearing for my flight. I didn't know anyone in that foreign country; let alone the language. I think my travels around Europe have toughened me up nicely. My flight is in exactly 12 hours from now and I feel...no excitement, no fear, no, well...anything. I'm not sure if it's my cold preventing my nervous system from functioning properly but either way, I feel...nothing.

My life the past month has been hectic to say the least. I used to be a hermit that went to classes then hid back in my room the second it was over. Social life? What's that? Ever heard of movies online? But this past month has been quite the change for me. Making the effort to go out everyday with friends for meals, outdoor activities and casual drinking have turned me into a little social butterfly. I've established several groups of friends and it sucks to leave them when I just got to know them so well. Oh well, what can you do. Pack up the sentimental feelings and head off to my next big adventure :)

Being the last minute person that I am, I found housing yesterday. Yes, I got it 2 days before leaving, but you try finding a studio in bustling Hong Kong where people live in bathroom sized holes and pay an outrageous amount of money for it. And I know I know, there's a protest going on over there right now. I'm not worried at all; in fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to check it out first hand in a couple of days after I settle down. Don't worry stranger, I will keep you updated along the way. If I don't, you can be sure you'll find me on TV! But really, now that I'll be by myself again in a new territory, I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to blog again.

Exciting things coming soon (or so I hope)...
