Farewell 852.

Emotionally expressive isn’t particularly a description I am associated with; I don’t tend to exaggerate my feelings nor express them too deeply and openly, I may have sometimes even been called ‘’pretty cold and expressionless’’, but I won’t name any names.

A Hong Kong’ers Valentine’s Day.

Ducking and diving through parts of Hong Kong to explore has been an enjoyable pastime for me and I think a few of you may have picked up on that.
