It's a weird feeling being grounded in one place for such a long time. Living in Europe and Asia has provided the ability to travel with very little planning, thought and even gratitude to having access to so many destinations; It's something that I had definitely taken for granted. As we draw towards the end of the year it is kind of nice to have everybody in town. Christmas and New Years in Hong Kong always feels like a partial affair, most of the group are away traveling, visiting family back home or just making the most of the winter holidays.
I like to think that this year's Boxing Day is an ode to previous Boxing Day's in Sydney. Me on the sofa, with little appetite from the Christmas Eve and Christmas day over eating. I'm watching the Boxing Day Cricket test, eating Tim Tams and Minties, while navigating the "virtual" Boxing Day sales with some online shopping.
