The end of an adventure

On the second day with the new family I figured out I should go, I wasn't doing anything in China. Everything I could enjoy giving the situation I already did so to stop my parents concerns I talked with Yuan and we bought the ticket to come back. She was amazing, gave me the money of the ticket and still some more for me to eat in the airport and for the bus there.
One day before my flight the government announced they would close the border with Zhuhai. Believe the irony!! I'm glad we bought the ticket before as the prices rised up to the stars... So, I came to the airport (where I'm now waiting for my flight) one day before. I didn't get any sleep this night and as I couldn't stay any longer or I would go insane.. I went to Hong Kong city against all my parents and friends advices. Even me, I was a bit scared but the truth is that in Hong Kong it's not bad, I was careful and all... That's it. I'm glad I went. Next 14 days will be passed at home once again as I have to do a period of quarentene just for precaution.
Anyway, I absolutely loved Hong Kong and it's such a shame I just had one day. There's so much more to see.. maybe next time when I come back to China. Who knows...
Hong Kong is a mix of two very different cultures- Chinese and English. You can perfectly see the English influence. They drive on the same side, you see the London buses on the streets, international people, the hurry to get somewhere... And chinese, the temples, gardens, language, cuisine and people's attitude. It's such a beautiful mixed. I was just delighted, couldn't stop taking photos at every street. It was a mixed between skyscrapers and decadent houses with chinese characters or spring lanterns that bring beauty to everything.
I found it particularly funny the quantity of cards that forbids things like "No spiting"- because yes, they spit a loooot!; "No smoking" in OPEN ENVIRONMENTS which I gotta love, "No sitting"... Ok, so next, no breathing ahah.
I stopped in a garden where a group of old men was playing a board game like chess, couldn't figure out what was it but I was there observing for a few minutes. I couldn't help but finding that beautiful. I'm imagining that like their ritual. 2 men play and the others observe without saying a word.
Also, around the city I kept on finding people working out- running or doing Tai Chi- with a peaceful aura like they don't care whatever is happening around them. I found this people in the most randoom places like a terrace, botanical garden, arbor, plaza....
So yes, really liked Hong Kong but of course, me being me... I was lost a bunch of times and it's ok, I ended up seeing other things but maybe I missed out some others. And because I walked soooo much because I was supposed to and because I got lost.. I couldn't visit more. I had to stop, each part of my body was sowred. Coming back to the airport I kept looking for some special food to bring to my family. Here they eat a lot of dry food. It's kind of smart really, they can storage it for longer... So I wanted to buy for them to try- some dry meat, dry fruit and a few chocolates Yuan gave me. I think they're gonna like :)
And that's it for this adventure. I already have agreed on a earlier date with my Australian family (20s of march) so I'm excited and I have good feelings about it!!
