TRAVEL TALES During my forty-five minute bus ride along the recently built Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge, I wondered about what my relatives would be like. I imagined myself being the usual, socially awkward, and slow person that I am around people I am not close to. To my relief, I was welcomed with open arms and revitalised the warmth of a family I had not enjoyed since my departure from home. For the first time, I explored places that were out of my world as though I was teleported to a makeshift Europe.
