The “fun” thing about being in a new culture is now having to learn a bunch more new social scripts flowcharts 😖

…at least my default politeness is at approx the right level relative to the social expectations here.. so that’s nice 🥲

The neurospicy fun continues 🌶️

Trying to stay sane with all the moving logistics and also prepping and listing my house for sale and moving countries at the same time 👋🏠🥲

No one warned me that London actually has the most authentic northern chinese food outside of Asia. So I have that going for me at least🥲

Can’t believe I actually did it 🥲 almost but yay. 🇬🇧✨

Optimizing agency be like - yesss I shall max out all my hyperfixations 🥳

Piano ✅
Painting ✅
Tennis ✔️
Check off my instagram todos ✅
🤪

Just met some new neighbors also from Hong Kong 🥳

They somehow immediately guessed I was from LA 🥲 wat. Should I be offended 😅🥲

💕🇬🇧 weeee

The dopamine from moving is the only thing keeping me together in the midst of endless logistical nightmares atm 😅

I can see why most everyone is hesitant about moving countries 🥲

I can do thissss

* take shots *

I used to get very mad at people when they explain some “very obvious” thing to me like i’m “stupid”….

Then i see things like the mover mistaking my sculpture stand as the sculpture when I specifically pointed to the sculpture that is clearly on top of the stand saying - “this sculpture is very expensive please pack it well”. I didn’t want to insult anyone by picking it up and pointing to it multiple times… but alas.

… so basically the baseline may be just way lower, so it’s not personal…
