My welcome gift took me by surprise ---
Arms & legs covered by bites.
The bed bugs are back!
Did a bit of extermination today,1
Killing many bugs of various sizes.
MY hair stood as I crushed them ruthlessly.
And I am now itching all over.

Met Kaz yesterday at G-A-Y,
Then popped over to Candy Bar.
Met a friendly couple, Louise & Lena.
Lena was telling me the benefits of staying at Southbank,
While Louise was trying to promote her colleague to me.
New girl on the block, Louise said.
Uh, yeah, ok.

Dinner with Angela today.
Met her mate Abby & Abby's mate KW.
Had a hilarious dinner session.
Waitress at restaurant said they ran out of roast chicken,
KW said in fluent cantonese,
What type of gai (chicken) do you have?
A sumptous meal.
And now I'm feeling broke.

As the cold air kissed my face,
I remembered what I missed about London.
