Wednesday,
July 23rd, 2:55am-- the time my boyfriend and I arrived at the International
Airport of
Larnaca, Cyprus. After a long and arduous journey that, among other things,
consisted of a nine
hour layover in Poland, we were happy to have arrived to our destination. Upon
receiving our
baggage we were greeted with hugs and kisses by my aunt and cousin. It had been
a little over
three years since my last visit, but somehow it felt as though I had never
left.
7月23日星期三, 凌晨兩點五十五分, 我和我的男朋友到達了塞浦路斯的拉納卡國際機場. 經過一段長而艱辛的旅程, 除此之外還包含在波蘭9小時的轉機停留, 我們很高興到了目的地. 拿到我們的行李之後, 我們被我的阿姨和表弟用擁抱和親吻來迎接. 自從我上次來訪已經超過3年了, 但我總覺得好像從沒離開過.
From
the very moment we exited the airport everything felt familiar--the air, with
its scent of freshly
bloomed jasmine, the comparatively miniature sized buildings and lengthy palm
trees, and
the people-- in their more relaxed and less burdened state. It all seemed to
have been frozen
in expectance of my eventual return.
從我們離開機場起, 一切都覺得熟悉 – 這空氣, 帶著茉莉花初開的香氣, 相對來說縮小的房子和長長的棕梠樹, 還有人 – 在他們最輕鬆和較少壓力的狀況. 這一切看起來都冰凍在預期我的回來.
To Be Continued 待續…
