Franstisek is now in the southern hemisphere. He wrote me a mail from the Melbourne airport saying he is now officially living in Australia. It feels weird that he is now living in Australia. The foreigness of the country/continent (being not Europe and not Asia) makes me feel like he is as far as outerspace. When I think about him I wonder if I should be looking at the floor instead of looking at the sky. I am very bad with orientation.
He will start working on Monday and what is left here (Hong Kong) for me to do is to pack everything in boxes and ship them to the new country. Since the university will cover most of the cost of the move, we plan to ship everything. It is nice to surround oneself with things that one likes and is familiar with. I have learned to be attached to inanimate entities since I left home for the first time. Even an old sock can fill me up with emotions now. Frantisek thinks I should be more discriminative in selecting the receipients of my sentiments and should also donate half of the clothes in my closet.
I am looking forward to my next trans-continental move. I thought my life will be more settled after my around-the-world schooling, but sometimes one should really be careful with whom one should date. Some choice might add a lot of miles to your life.
