Soooo, where to begin? I have been a bit absent from this platform this last two months. Not sure why, I have lots of drafts waiting to be published but it hasn't happened yet (if it ever will). I'm spending the week in HK and this is a bit of a last minute trip. I booked the flight a random Tuesday night of two months ago. I just thought I have never been in Asia and it would be nice to be here during the art fair madness. So here I am. No luck at all with the weather, but that's ok since my two main objects of the trip are eating and visiting art fairs.

I did it, I moved. Everything happened very fast and I ended up in the part of town I never thought I’d live, kreis 1. It’s a tiny flat hidden in the old town right in the heart of Niederdorf. While I still find hard to believe I now live here, at the same time I cannot believe I have ever lived anywhere else.
