I escaped the smog in Shanghai, having experienced a terrible day last Friday in a mostly dreamlike cloud atmosphere, except your throat and your eyes tell you that it is not really that great for you. Back in Hong Kong. I am happy that there is a deadline to it all. I can be here, enjoy the air, enjoy the food, but next Friday I will be off again. I still have the same feeling toward my crush, but I am so happy that I can be leaving it all. I do not want my emotion and actions be restricted by the environment. I know I would not have the will power to fight it, so escaping makes it all so much easier, like a permanent vacation.
So many things going on around us in the macro economic environment, and I have lost on the Rmb appreciation in addition to the scary property price appreciation. I want to capture it. I would very much like to buy that apartment, even if it means stretching it a bit. A million USD. That's how much a half decent two bedroom apartment would cost. I am scrambling to gather the 300k down payment. I want a base there. It gives me purpose. I am doing something... rather than being trapped by a job, by people, by place.
Ten days...
