I'm HOME!!!!

So to be honest, there was a sense of euphoria arriving at the Vancouver airport a few hours ago. I was like - wow, Im home. Vancouver is home. As much as I love HK and Sydney, Vancouver is home. And it helps that its 30 degrees today and the sun is shining. And not humid like HK. Its great. I felt a twinge of patriotism too for being back in Canada and seeing the line of people arriving - and observing how multicultural it is. It's a pretty cool country we live in, eh? It's been awhile saying "eh", eh? ;) hahaha... anyway... maybe Im just overtired right now and Im rambling. Could be that too.

Anyway, the last couple of days in Hong Kong were awesome. Got to hang out with Grace (thanks for the Hello Kitty fridge magnets!) and Fornia, Hamish, and Linus - among other cool HK peeps. I also got to spend lots of time w/ my family. And somehow managed to go shopping one more time and fit everything into my suitcase. I think in total I was carrying about 66kg worth of stuff back. Yeah... thats a lot of stuff.

First order of business was getting some decent pizza so my mom took me out to Gigi's at Cambie & Broadway. Now Im typing away at the internet terminal in the library b/c John is without mobile or comptuer at home. Dunno how you guys are gonna get a hold of me... I think you guys have my home number, right? Very much lookin' forward to Friday night at Red Robins. Anyone reading this is invited, k?

Okay, I'm going to go home and crash now. Probably wont wake up until midday tomorrow.

Like I said, its good to be home.
