Disappearing Train Station

"Next stop Wan Chai station. Doors open on the left."

I get off. I only have enough money for the ride back but I'm excited to take lots of pictures.

I take pictures of the well, the shrine, the Chinese vendors. It bothers me that this doesn't seem like Wan Chai at all! I could be anywhere!

True enough, I can't find the train station anymore. It has disappeared! I nervously hold my octupus card and start asking people, "Which way to the train station? Which way back to Lan Tau?"

But no one answers me.

I get a package from Teejay and a etter saying he's back for a visit. The letter says, "This package is just an excuse to see you so I hope you figure it out soon."

I open it and inside are scrolled up letters written in an English I don't understand. I unscroll one letter after another and don't understand one single thing.
