Caveat: Countdown, 24 Hours

Today is my last teaching day here at Hongnong.  The feeling is bittersweet.  I hope I've made the right choice, in deciding to move on – one always has those moments of second-guessing oneself.

I was originally planning to jump on a bus tonight, but because some of my coworkers wanted to take me out to dinner tonight, I have decided I'll be leaving tomorrow morning.  So the countdown to leave Hongnong is 24 hours.  I will be back at least once, to fetch the rest of my stuff – I'm only taking what I can carry on the bus, tomorrow – I'll have to fetch my boxes of books and kitchen stuff (meanwhile stored with a friend here in Hongnong) with a car (maybe a friend's, or worst case, rental) over some weekend in the near future.
