In briefing of the debriefing

There is no way I will write my report on Finland today. No way.

Our flight arrived in HK around 07:40 and I stayed up until 04:00. Previous day I had woken up at 07:00 in Finland (12:00 HK time) so all-in-all I stayed up for 40 hours straight. Then, I allowed myself 6 hours of sleep. Now I sit in the office.

No way I will write anything that requires me to think, to remember, or to concentrate.

Maybe tomorrow I will report my experiences but that remains to be seen as the prospects of having a good night's sleep the following night seem rather dim indeed too. I will go out again - like I did last night.

It's stupid, I know. But people do stupid things.

However, I love being back home.

Home ..... some people in Finland found it rather surprising that I called HK my home. Perhaps they don't really understand that Home is where your hearth is; or that living in one place for this long will sever many bonds one might have had to another place. Home. I tried to explain them but I don't think they really understood - not many people do. They don't see beyond their own realm of possibility and opportunity.
I don't care.

I liked being in Finland. There were many good things there and I got to remember many of those things that I had forgotten while living in HK. As I was mostly on vacation there, I also could relax and forget the busy life in HK, and I could enjoy one week of Finland's summer at its best!

However, I missed my life in HK very much during my stay. Even for mere two weeks I found it hard not to think about finally returning to HK again.

But I will tell more about all those things in my Finland-debriefing later.

Now I will concentrate on being tired. Tired but happy. Happy but tired. :)

Carpenter: "A woodchuck could chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can't chuck wood."
Guybrush: "But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?"
Carpenter: "Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?"
Guybrush: "A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood."
Carpenter: "Oh shut up."
