HK Day One: I Nearly Cried

May 18, 2010 eating out

When my friend Jing Wen woke me up to hurry to the airport just two and a half hours after I fell asleep, I nearly cried; I was so tired! I dragged myself out of bed, did some last-minute packing, and hailed a cab to the airport. And then I found out that we were [...]
