My Journey ends

Finally, my half year paradise-like journey ends. It is absolutely an amazing exchange programme to UIUC, knowing a lot of nice people there. I enjoyed everyday in UIUC, juz because I have nothing to bother with. I could concentrate on my work since no shopping and no malls. I liked hanging out on every Saturday with Ken to Walmart/Meijer to buy our food. Ya, it's really like working on the home of us. :)

I traveled to different places in US. It would be definitely the bonus for me to have received a lot of financial aids from different parties so that I could be able to fulfil my dream. I have to thank Ken for subsidize a lot for me, especially many many meals! Thank you so much!

It was a real long winter in Urbana-Champaign, the hardest as ever. I could not imagine how I could be surviced from the extremely cold weather. I remembered last time it was about -20C in Chicago. How could one suvrvice under such bad weather? Anyway, we made it! :)

From the many places I have traveled, I love Urbana-Champaign the most. It was quiet and less dense. You could have ample time to think about the deeper side of yourself. I enjoyed sitting in the library in the afternoon doing nothing. Washington DC is good, but it is too HK-like. Urbana-Champaign is totally different from Hong Kong, not many shops, restaurants. I think that's how you could feel American life.

Tokyo is quite attractive. People there are really nice and helpful. Some waiters don't know English but they try really hard to explain stuff to you.

Anyway, I finally get back to Hong Kong. I feel really stressed at home. (In fact, I did not miss home after the first month in US) I missed my American life a lot! Anyway, it's time to go back to reality, rite? Life is difficult but I have to carry on with it. I will suit myelf in!

PS. Ken, really thank you so much for helping me a lot in this journey. It wouldn't be that perfect without you. I love you. :)
