The sun was blazing in the afternoon, but now the air has cooled off. The queue at the bus stop had grown thinner. There were new hopefuls joining, but many more gave up and hopped on taxis instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Someone tapped abruptly on my shoulder. I reluctantly lowered the music volume and took off my earphones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting here for over an hour. I see that you are Chinese too, shall we get a taxi back together?\u201d He said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked down at my outfit &#8211; black t-shirt, black pants, and a yellow umbrella. Momentarily lost for words at how he could have mistaken me as a companion, I eventually told him we would not be going the same path, and asked him to wait for a bit longer. He turned and walked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c I am Scottish, not English, where are you from?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An old man came around, holding an empty Ferrero Rocher box, telling everyone how much he liked the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially, I was a bit worried if he was in his right mind. But when I looked at his empty box, I couldn\u2019t help but heave a sigh inside; how different is what I do in the UK compared to what he is doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The queue at the bus stop started to grumble &#8211; another bus drove past with the \u201cSorry not in service\u201d sign. According to the bus app, the next bus will come 10 minutes later. After 10 minutes, an update informed us to wait for yet another 10 minutes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a Hongkonger who had been through the events in 2019, I have gotten used to bus stops without buses. MTR stations without trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I look at it another way, if I never have hopes that the bus will come, then I will never be disappointed. Or maybe I have never been waiting for the bus, but just want a companion to wait together with me. Or maybe I\u2019m just waiting for dawn to break, a new day to come for Hongkongers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe, I\u2019m just waiting for death to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"zh\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-right\" style=\"border-width: 0;width:80%;\">\n\u300c\u6211\u53c8\u6709\u5fc3\u4e8b \u81ea\u5f9e\u770b\u4e86\u592a\u5bb0\u6cbb\n\u6211\u554f\u8ab0 \u8ab0\u90fd\u4e0d\u6703\u5728\u610f\u6b7b\u4ea1\u7684\u610f\u7fa9\n\u4e16\u754c\u50cf\u4f3c\u5d29\u88c2 \u6211\u5006\u90fd\u7121\u53ef\u6551\u6cbb\n\u6211\u4f46\u6c42 \u4e58\u98a8\u98db\u5230\u5225\u8655\u518d\u91cd\u65b0\u958b\u59cb...\u300d\n\n- \u6b4c\u8a5e\u51fa\u81eaMy Little Airport\u300a\u5931\u843d\u6cae\u55aa\u6b4c\u300b<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8033\u6a5f\u50b3\u569fMy Little Airport \u719f\u8b58\u5605\u6b4c\u8072\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u6211\u7b49\u5497\u5dee\u5514\u591a\u4e00\u500b\u9418\u5df4\u58eb\u3002\u664f\u665d\u55f0\u9663\u660e\u660e\u597d\u71b1\uff0c\u4f9d\u5bb6\u5df2\u7d93\u51b7\u537b\u66ec\u3002\u8eca\u7ad9\u5605\u4eba\u6f38\u6f38\u7a00\u5c11\uff0c\u96d6\u7136\u6709\u65b0\u52a0\u5165\u5605\u4eba\uff0c\u4f46\u4ea6\u6709\u597d\u591a\u4eba\u653e\u68c4\u5497\u7e7c\u7e8c\u7b49\u843d\u53bb\uff0c\u642d\u7684\u58eb\u8d70\u5497\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u7a81\u7136\u9593\uff0c\u6709\u4eba\u62cd\u6211\u818a\u982d\u3002\u6211\u88ab\u903c\u964d\u4f4e\u8033\u6a5f\u97f3\u91cf\uff0c\u9664\u4f4e\u8033\u6a5f\uff0c\u4e0d\u60c5\u9858\u5730\u540c\u964c\u751f\u4eba\u5c55\u958b\u5c0d\u8a71\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u6211\u7b49\u5497\u8d85\u904e\u4e00\u500b\u9418\u4e86\uff0c\u6211\u898b\u4f60\u90fd\u4fc2\u4e2d\u570b\u4eba\uff0c\u4e0d\u5982\u4e00\u9f4a\u642d\u7684\u58eb\u8fd4\u53bb\uff1f\u201d \u4f62\u8a71\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u6211\u671b\u4f4f\u81ea\u5df1\u4e00\u8eab\u9ed1\u886b\u624b\u57f7\u9ec3\u906e\uff0c\u5c0d\u4f62\u5481\u90fd\u53ef\u4ee5\u8a8d\u932f\u4eba\u611f\u5230\u6709\u5572\u7121\u5948\uff0c\u540c\u4f62\u8b1b\u6211\u54cb\u61c9\u8a72\u5514\u6703\u540c\u8def\uff0c\u53eb\u4f62\u518d\u7b49\u4e0b\u5566\uff0c\u4e4b\u5f8c\u4f62\u5c31\u8f49\u8eab\uff0c\u8d70\u5497\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c I am Scottish, not English, where are you from?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u53c8\u6709\u500b\u4f2f\u4f2f\u540c\u6211\u8b1b\u91ce\uff0c\u624b\u4e0a\u62ce\u4f4f\u4e00\u76d2\u7a7a\u5605\u91d1\u838e\uff0c\u5468\u570d\u540c\u4eba\u8b1b\u4f62\u597d\u937e\u610f\u500b\u76d2\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8d77\u521d\u6709\u5572\u9a5a\u4f62\u4fc2\u767d\u5361\uff0c\u4f46\u4fc2\u7576\u6211\u671b\u4f4f\u4f62\u55f0\u500b\u7a7a\u76d2\uff0c\u7a81\u7136\u89ba\u5f97\u6709\u5572\u550f\u5653\u3002\u5176\u5be6\u6211\u81ea\u5df1\u4fc2\u82f1\u570b\u505a\u7dca\u5605\u5622\uff0c\u672c\u8cea\u4e0a\u540c\u4f62\u5605\u884c\u70ba\u7a76\u7adf\u6709\u5e7e\u5927\u5206\u5225\u5462\uff1f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8eca\u7ad9\u5605\u4eba\u958b\u59cb\u9f13\u71e5\uff0c\u5c24\u5176\u4fc2\u4e00\u67b6\u67b6\u5beb\u4f4fsorry not in service \u5605\u5df4\u58eb\u7d93\u904e\u55f0\u6642\u3002\u500b\u5df4\u58ebapp\u5beb\u4f4f\u5341\u5206\u9418\u5f8c\u6703\u6709\u8eca\uff0c\u5341\u5206\u9418\u904e\u5497\uff0c\u53c8\u6703update\u8a71\u8981\u518d\u7b49\u591a\u5341\u5206\u9418\u3002\u3002\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5176\u5be6\u8eab\u70ba\u9999\u6e2f\u4eba\uff0c\u5df2\u7d93\u7fd2\u6163\u5497\u5df4\u58eb\u7ad9\u7121\u5df4\u58eb\uff0c\u9ee8\u9435\u7121\u8eca\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u6216\u8005\u63db\u500b\u5fc3\u614b\uff0c\u5f9e\u4f86\u90fd\u5514\u671f\u671b\u5df4\u58eb\u6703\u569f\uff0c\u54aa\u5514\u6d17\u5481\u5931\u671b\u56c9\u3002\u6216\u8005\u5176\u5be6\u6211\u6839\u672c\u5514\u4fc2\u7b49\u7dca\u5df4\u58eb\uff0c\u53ea\u4fc2\u7b49\u7dca\u4e00\u500b\u540c\u8def\u4eba\uff0c\u540c\u6211\u4e00\u9f4a\u7b49\uff0c\u53c8\u6216\u8005\u6211\u7b49\u7dca\u5605\uff0c\u4fc2\u9ece\u660e\u4f86\u5230\uff0c\u958b\u59cb\u65b0\u4e00\u65e5\u5605\u5de5\u4f5c\u3002\u3002\u3002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u53c8\u6216\u8005\uff0c\u6211\u53ea\u4fc2\u7b49\u7dca\u6b7b\u3002<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What the x do I know about fashion? \u300a\u7b49\u5df4\u58eb\u300b November 5, 2022 by R EN \u4e2d\u6587 \u201cI am down again, since reading Osamu Dazai; No matter who I talk to, they don\u2019t care about the meaning of death.
