Cure All

I have been feeling a little homesick for the past week or so, since Reggie left last weekend. It is the first time I've been homesick since arriving here and I've been told it's a fairly common reaction when a visitor leaves. I also figure it's a bit of the post-Christmas blues and also probably a touch of seasonal depression brought about by the grey weather here in Chongqing.

I went for a walk on Friday night and as I did I came up with a list of things I miss about home which I had planned to post here. As I wandered back home I passed by the Cotton Club (Since 2005), the bar in the basement of my building. The bar manager saw me wandering past and came out to say hello, along with two of his bar staff. The girl gave me a hug and told me that she missed me (it'd been a whole week since I'd been there) and the boys shook my hand and asked me if I'd be coming down for a drink later.

Turns out I don't need to write that list any more.
