HK: Day 18

Well, today was our last full day in Hong Kong. So we spent most of it wrapping up our trip.

Started at noonish today. We all had a late night, so we didn't eat our first meal till 12. We had dim sum with my uncle downstairs. (I love how convenient it is to eat around here!) Shortly after, we went back to the flat to do some packing. This is when I figured out that I bought the most during our time here. Most of which is from H&M. They have more stuff, AND no taxes. C'mon. How could I not??

Anyways... when my Mom and aunt came back from their massages, we made our way to the old folks home to see my Yeh Yeh one last time.
He looked so much better today than the last time. He seemed more aware of his surroundings, and was sharp and quick with his replies. He really does remember a lot, but he's a man of few words, so he doesn't always reply to our many queries. In fact, if he's feeling like he's being tested/pestered he'll just ignore the question and not say anything. It's pretty funny actually. Great to see he's still got a little kick in him after all.
When we finally had to say goodbye, that's when my heart broke yet again. I can't leave him like this... It was really hard to not get teary-eyed when kissing his cheek and saying joy geen (good bye). I can only hope to come back in the very near future to see his face again. I love you Yeh Yeh.

Some other very important people we had to see one more time was my Dai Bak (oldest uncle) and my auntie Moh. What better way to end our HK trip with some Korean BBQ? Good times. Good food. My auntie Moh talks so fast that we have to constantly remind her to speak a little slower. It's way harder for Ev and I because we have to translate whilst being ultra attentive.
Anyways, after dinner, with much persistence, we had a little family photo shoot in Tsim Sha Tsui. So many photos... So much fake smiling. Haha I miss them already though.

All in all folks, this was a great trip. I learned a lot about my family. Some good, some bad. I got to know my cous a bit better. And I could actually carry a conversation with my relatives. Winning!

Missing Dai Bak, but we're mostly all here.
