Everyone

I think about everyone...

As I post this from my email because I'm too cheap for a VPN

As I watch the green lasers in the Symphony of Lights show across the harbor

As I look at wrinkly, caveman depictions of early settlers of Hong Kong

As I sing loudly on the ferry across the harbor

As I spend the longest time out of thirty-five home-dawgs reading every plaque in the history museum

As I learn that the Japanese bombed Hong Kong in December 1941 and I wonder how I could live my whole life without knowing that

As I realize how grateful I am that I brought tissues and hand sanitizer to Asia

As I get sick of malls, stores, and markets faster than everyone else

As I ride cable cars above the harbor and into the mountains

As I eat delicious Indian food and learn that I love naan

As I rave about how efficient the subway system is here and how one day I hope Utah will understand and America will ditch the car idea and adopt the subway

As I take pictures of all the recycling bins I see

As my roommates buy converters from the street market for two American dollars

As I become best friends with the Chinese teenagers that accompany our group on our adventures

As I climb stairs faster than necessary just because I can

As I realize how big the world is and how small I am...

And how grateful I am for all the good and wonderful people in every continent!
