After the show...

Jen and Michelle say that depression always follows after an event ends. It is also true for me. With the Beijing creative team gone and the US team packing their bags and leaving for the airport, I do feel a sense of emptiness and sadness.

Since the night of the 2nd, a lot of the people stopped coming in to the office. I didn't get to say proper goodbye to many of the choreographers and "Mao Mao" before they flied back. I managed to catch some of the people but those are nonetheless brief farewell. I've been working with my team for 3 months everyday and they become trusted and reliable colleagues and friends who helped out each other. I am sadden by the thought of not being able to see them again for a very very long time.

With the limited days left before people fly out, Karen and I spent a lot of time with the US colleagues, trying to give them our warmest hospitality and farewell. It is a shame that we can only get to know most of them just when they are leaving. I found out a lot of them are very active in showbiz and had worked with big artists in the States. I wish they can stay longer.

But "There isn't a banquet that never end." Everyone is heading back to their own cities and taking on new challenges ahead of them. I give them the most affectionate regards and the best of luck.
