The Hong Kong Adventures of Arielle Gabriel

August 8, 2005

We have a day of chores.

First, banking.

Second, cell phone re-connection, and my heart is both happy and sad to see the names flash onto the phone from eighteen months ago, when I fled China quickly.

Gordon, the golden tycoon, kindhearted and boyish, a brilliant Shenzhen lawyer. Grace, the worldly and charming Hong Kong entrepreneur, with a warmth that attracted me immediately. Daphne, the sober and gentle Shenzhen computer expert, only in her early twenties, and a business woman, mother, and wife. Hai Chau, with his mischievous, sensual laughter.
