Leaving the city…

Time has come to my last two days in Lon­don. The end of sum­mer school is the pre­lude of the end­ing of sum­mer. Mar­itime cli­mate city in the sum­mer time often reminds me of the early fall sea­son in New Eng­land — unex­pected rain show­ers, some foliage, chilly morn­ing and evening time, well, maybe that’s why New Eng­land is New Eng­land. I’m going back to China on Sat­ur­day, where the weather is 30+ cel­sius, approx­i­mately 86+ fahren­heit — that is more like sum­mer to me. Undoubt­edly, I’m def­i­nitely going to miss this city.
