The last week of Hong Kong chill. went indoor rock climbing. Had afternoon tea with Jenny, my friend from UCSD International House, at Mandarin Oriental. partied a bit, shopped a bit, the usual. Alexa gave me one of her extra luggage and we spent the day drinking Canadian ice wine and cleaning out my room in CUHK International House. I left some things to Alexa and Doris. Doris would be so proud of me for having my side of the room meticulously clean for once! Afterwards I split a taxi with Victoria to the airport. Andy met me at the airport to say goodbye.

I had my whole last 4 months in two big luggages (just under 23 kg each), a carry-on (20 kg, yeah I cheated...I would be mucho unhappy spending $800 HKD/100 USD checking in an extra luggage), and a big (big) purse. nice.

14 hour flight. Slept for 10-12 hours. Watched part of some Hong Kong movie "July Rhapsody." Got body checked and security checked to the maximum because of the recent terrorist attempt. My mommy, daddy, grandma, and sister met me at the LAX airport.
