New York

On 5 star mattresses, tiny eateries, and being swept away.

Published by Lai Yin in What women already know Share


My first trip to New York was with him,
the man I married 8 years before in Hong Kong.
The man I moved in with on the night of our first date.
The man I ran from to Koh Samui,
two years before we boarded our Cathay flight out of Hong Kong to JFK.

Notes from Lai Yin

Every week I publish a new essay.

Sometimes it is about food.
Sometimes it is about daughters.
Sometimes it is about marriage, travel, driving, grief, ageing, dogs, airports, or finding home in a new country.

Subscribers receive new essays, book updates, and occasional research notes from my work on Somatic Power, Gravity 重力 and Placement 放置.
