I was filled with relief and excitement when my 11 boxes from Hong Kong finally arrived! I felt almost 'naked' for the last 3 months! The most precious things I realized in these boxes were my personal photo albums and mementos of Ming Yin College, including farewell gifts from my former colleagues and good friends. I discovered that my clothes and other household things are replaceable which means they don't necessarily hold that much meaning. These boxes contained concrete memories of my time at Hong Kong. They are one of the greatest gifts I could ever receive. And, they finally came HOME! Now, the unpacking and sorting really begins.......see ya later!
