All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go.
But the jetplane won't let me on.
So it has become more than a "2 week bound" trip. I'm still in Hong Kong—more like stranded. The perks about having family working for an airline does have its benefits, and I'm definitely not or cannot complain, but the downside is when your trip intersects with the start of the travel season especially as the students are returning home, or the Chinese comes out of their Canadian winter hibernation to return home to enjoy the summer, well like me you may just get rejected from almost all the flights.
At meantime, I'm enjoying the familiar yet also unfamiliar culture. Visually, I blend in, but culturally I stand out.
