Things I will miss, and won't

Things I will miss: 

The quick, cheap, easy, and refreshing availability of ready to eat, spicy, juicy meals.

The feel of a humid breeze on my skin, particularly in the evening.

The cleansing, drenching afternoon rain.

The sense of friendly community and collaboration among groups here - academics, friends, activists, artists.

The ease and spectacle.

The trees, the green.

Getting on a cheap flight to an exotic locale.

The MRT system.

My pool, palms, and gym.

Palms.

The sense of possibility here.

Learning everyday. Connecting with new people.

Bukit Brown and my other favorite places.

Things I will not miss:

The heaviness.

The claustrophobia.

The conformity.

The lack of bohemia.

The rules, administration, and bureacracy.

Seeing foreign workers treated like furniture.

My shitty little room and single bed.

Not being able to cook.

MSGs and oily / salty foods.

The heat between 11 and 6pm.

This shoulder injury.
