A glittering city, a shrinking room and a gathering of Yoshinoya

Glowing objects are only to be seen, not to be touched, after they are shiny. Those skyscrapers in Tokyo, Singapore or Hong Kong are not really built for the workers and the poor. The workers only build the city, but they don't even get to live there.

A friend's status touched my heart today - "Hong Kong friends have small houses but big hearts, even if the houses in Europe are big, they don't call." It is true, it is difficult to keep yourself busy in a small room in Hong Kong, it is very difficult to invite others to gather.

Last Sunday, there was a meeting with the 'tengjums' of the art sector in Shanghai Street - Robin Nalbo, Hem Anchangbo, Mausam Imbung and Jugal Pomo. How much has been raised from the premiere show of #Sugup? To calculate this, I had to resort to my old Macbook instead of digitalizing the manufacturer's new phone, which is captured in the photo outside Yoshinoya.

The 125-year-old fast food chain 'Yoshinoya' not only served Japanese food, but also created a safe environment for expats like us to chat. Otherwise, in other restaurants here, either the bill turns your back, or the loud music does not allow you to hear your own conversation.

No matter how foreign the city is, these small meetings are what keep us alive.
