Minus one

When people you like leave the country, it's something you never get used to really.

You're happy for them if they're leaving because it's going to help their career, but sad if they're migrating or just doing it because of the money.

We didn't have time to give Mai a better going-away present, but looks like personalised wooden ice cream sticks from YellowCab had done the trick (my stick is labeled 'Mikee' -- it's a long story). We even made one for Gusgus.

Such a heavy feeling, this.
