EAP Aftermath

I can honestly say, it was a sad day when I finally have to leave Asia. I miss Hong Kong. I miss the lifestyle in Asia even more. There's just always something to do at any hour of the day. I never had to try to have fun because fun is just a subway/bus ride away. It's true that Asia is really crowded everywhere, but that's also what makes Asia a really fun place because if there's more people then there's more stuff, like on the streets. 7 elevens, family mart, cake pastry shops, snack places, street food, malls, street vendor, dim sum in the AM, more 7 elevens and so many restaurants that are open readily available from where you are standing, 24 hr McDonald's delivery, Asia was too much fun, it throughly pleased my visual sensory system. The closest thing that America has that can compare is maybe NYC. Maybe.

I definitely miss it, the exchange experience was nice and really really fun. Back to reality is...well let's just say I need some time to readjust to the life style of Berkeley, from the fast space to very chilled slow pace. I get a little weirded out when I see people lounging grass reading books or sitting on the street sipping coffee. But slowly it's sinking into me...berkeley has lost some of its novelty after being here for a long time. Hopefully this semester I can explore the city more, I just wish BART was more efficient...
