heterogenous mixtures.

call me old fashioned but the first thing i ask someone when i go to a new place is, what's the weather been like. not for lack of conversation but because the air is genuinely the first thing i want to know about a place. then, the saddest thing about airports, for me, has to be that they are completely air conditioned, and hence, have no leeway for sampling international air. that's why i made it a point to sneak a little gust from the side door of the aerobridge thingie. HONG KONG'S AIR SMELLS OF KELP. or what i imagine to be the smell of kelp anyway. from all the aromatherapy products we've been told to believe in.

so, yeah, kelp.

and one thing lead to another and for some reason i was thinking of the words kimono and komodo. and they've coloured my image of hong kong forever now. it's strange, but makes sense in my head. the misty mountains in the distance, the jade coloured water, the marquee that says it's 24 degrees outside. everything is mixing so nicely, gaseously even.

okay, dragonair is about to depart now. love from hongkong!
