What happens after returning to reality?

I have been back to Calgary for more than a week now, and it's strange how things can fall into place so quickly. Some things have been good, some things not so good (aka. jet lag to the max) but overall, I would say that Calgary has welcomed me back with open arms. 

It's been awesome seeing everyone again and returning to the way things were. Mind you, I still have many "missing HK moments", but you can't stay in a fantasy forever. Even though I've been gone for 4 months, some things remain the same and it's as if I never left. However, I've found that it's really easy to fall into doing the same thing in this city. There's nothing wrong with it, but after being somewhere else where you have the option of flying to another country within the matter of 2 hours, the effect isn't the same in Cowtown. It'll be nice once hiking season starts back up... for now, the city is CLEAN and the air is FRESH but it's slushy and quite unpleasant at times to walk across the street. 

Bottom line... "there's no place like home" :)
