I had originally planned to buy so much stuff in Hong Kong since it has been so long since my last return. Then it dawned on me the immense bulk of stuff we left behind in our apartment. We decided we are going to rent out our Hong Kong home because it's empty so much of the year. It's all been very bittersweet but we hope it will be home to lots of happy memories for the next family one day. Anyways, it brings me on the topic of WASTE. Before I buy anything, I ask myself if it's going to be chucked away after a couple of years. It's been a real eye opener and has made me second thought a lot of my purchases since. Now, I'm going to bring the bulk of my stuff back to UK rather than buy new bulk. I hope we can all think before we buy. It's the reason I buy basics rather than "on trend" pieces because I know basics won't go out of style. Hong Kong has one of the worse recycling industries too even as a developed country. Let's all be good citizens and try our best to think twice before we buy unless we are proper hoarders lol. I cannot hoard anymore though because clutter makes me stress. What about you?
