Yesterday we played frisbee for the last time before we leave for our trip (in 6.5 hours!), sharing food with friends afterwards at an outdoor night market, packed our suitcases which we finished this morning. I'm aware of the fact that many of the daily things i do will be the last time i do them as an unmarried woman. The last time i'll have my hair cut, the last time i'll cut my nails, the last time I go swimming, the last time I make breakfast, the last time i buy milk, the last time I take a bus...
As there are many lasts, there are also quite a few firsts that i'm very much looking forward to. The first meal, the first plane ride, the first swim, the first kiss...
China's parting gift to me as i leave her borders for the last time as a single woman was having my wallet stolen in broad daylight yesterday while walking from a food stall to the bus stop. It was the first time i've ever been pickpocketed but hopefully it'll also be the last.
Bon Voyage a nous!
