I went to Tai O, a small fishing village in Hong Kong, where people live in houses literally built on top of water.

It’s a break that I really needed. Because of what I do now, it’s fairly hard for me to take long vacations anymore, so having this 2-day mini trip within Hong Kong was the best thing that had happened to me for a long time.

I will write about why I couldn’t plan longer trips later — but this thing that I do full time now, while in some ways give me complete freedom in time, it’s a bit like being on call 24/7/365. Unless I could get Supercell to commit to not making any changes to the game for a week, I couldn’t very easily go travel — because changes to the game could literally break the site in such way that could potentially mean turning all the efforts I have in the past 7 years into dust.

It’s something that I will continue to investigate if I could find a way to solve. I would really like a real vacation.
