剛收到書和多倫多的慢遞！（<--有空的時候也請給我發一下那個的信息：）)今天早上我們到了唐人街見面，在KAT最愛的地方吃了呀咪腸粉和粥。紐約非常潮濕的一天！也聽到KAT講這本書，好期待看！可我要再欣賞一下包裝後再打開，哈哈。KAT，再次謝謝你帶過來給我，也謝謝那麼美好的早餐，真的很喜歡跟你聊天！

I just got the book and the Toronto package! （<-- pls send me info about that one when you can：））This morning we met up at KAT's fave place in Chinatown for yummy rice rolls and congee. A super humid day in nyc! So excited to read the book after hearing about it from KAT, too — but I'll enjoy admiring your packaging for another day before opening it haha. KAT, thank you again for bringing it to me, and for the lovely breakfast :) I loved chatting with you!

Y和我在唐人街見面，一起吃了個晚早餐——聊了一些行動組織&藝術&創作方面的。我把包裹傳遞給她，很興奮她可以讀到我在東京往紐約的飛機上開始讀的《離開的舉動》

Y and I met in Chinatown and had a late breakfast together — we talked organizing & art & making things. I handed off the packages and am so excited for her to read The Last Emporium, which I started on my flight from Tokyo to NYC.

今天早些時候，我去和合石公墓找我婆婆的墓。整個夏天我都在為此焦慮，主要以我糟糕的粵語來發明花樣藉口（我要怎麼告訴出租車去哪裡？怎樣能得到幫助找到那塊墓？），加上我姨媽能從她母親那裡證實的有限少量的信息：婆婆去逝的年份和她的名字。我姨媽上次看到那墓地是在1969年，在她離開香港去美國前。成長中我唯一知道的事是：我婆婆因為子宮癌去逝時我媽媽才四歲。我姨媽告訴我，每一次她和我媽媽和她們的兄弟去掃墓，我媽媽都會生病。當他們爬墓地的那些巨大丘陵，她就“擺脫了她身體裡的一切“，姨媽這麼講，意思是我媽媽吐了。這是我聽到的關於我母親童年的少數事情之一；在我青春期的時候她死了。這故事一直困惑著我，直到我發現自己走在和合石靈灰安置所那裡，汗水直流並感到恐慌，試圖找人來救命。那裡有的根本不是丘陵；他們得登頂的是確鑿的大山。這比喻，我也懂了。

一個叫Ricky的工作人員幫助了我；這一段解釋太長，所以略過，直到汗水落到他幫我打印出來我婆婆墓地（可能）位置的紙上，我按照他的指示叫了另一輛出租車帶我上去墓地蜿蜒的山，到那些最久遠的區域。

一個鐘後，在山側一排排墓碑裡繞來繞去，我找到了我婆婆。

（後來我打電話給姨媽告訴她這件事——我用有限的粵語和她有限的英語交談——感覺這個夏天本該如此。對「寫得不夠」或「粵語學得不夠」或「看太多慾望都市」（？？？什麼？？？我也不知道）的任何內疚都蒸發了）

Earlier today, I went to Wo Hop Shek cemetery to look for my po po’s grave. I’d been anxious about this all summer, inventing creative excuses that mostly centered on my bad Cantonese (how will I tell the taxi where to go? How will I ask for help locating the grave?) and the limited amount of information my Yi Ma could provide about her mother: the year she died, and her name. The last time my Yi Ma saw the grave was in 1969, before she left Hong Kong for the States. The only thing I knew growing up about my Po Po was that she died when my mom was only four, from uterine cancer. My Yi Ma told me a story about how every time she and my mother and their brothers visited the cemetery, my mother would become sick. As they climbed the giant hills of the cemetery, she would “get rid of everything in her body,” my Yi Ma put it, meaning she vomited. This was one of the few things I’d heard about my mother’s childhood; she died when I was a teenager. This story always confused me, until I found myself walking the grounds of one of the Wo Hop Shek Columbariums, sweating and feeling panicky and looking for anybody to ask for help. These were not hills; this was an actual mountain they had to summit. The metaphor was not lost on me.

A man named Ricky in one of the offices helped me; this caption is getting long, so I’ll just skip ahead to the part where, sweating into the paper he printed off for me of my (maybe) Po Po’s grave, I hailed yet another taxi per his instructions to take me up the winding hills of the cemetery into some of the oldest sections.

An hour later, weaving in and out of the rows of gravestones on the hillsides, I had found my Po Po.

(Calling my Yi Ma afterward to tell her about this — me talking with my limited Cantonese and her with her limited English — felt like this summer was exactly as it should have been. Any guilt I had for not “writing enough” or “learning enough Cantonese” or “watching too much Sex in the City” (???What??? I don’t know either) had evaporated.)

我唯一哥哥的婚禮結束是在上午11點，與同事朋友一起的路上也同樣充滿情感。我們一起總共十年了。但起初，來自小食攤鋪符號那樣的紐約培蛋芝士，沒有引起我任何感受。

我先碰面了我在大學時第一個認識的朋友，Trevor。他一直是個學者和寫作者，現在也是一位教授，和他的丈夫住在西弗吉尼亞。我們討論似乎相同的方式和比我們更年輕自我的方式的不同感受。

緩件HQL-600在Printed Matter的最終目的地（絕大因素）使得我們重聚。我的雙眼起霧。我想起那些不按線性移走的時光，但按著三維的螺旋，在一個主題上帶著細微差異循環往復。

It’s 11am the morning after my only brother’s wedding, and I’m on the way to another emotional reunion with my group of college friends. We haven’t been all together in a decade. But first, an iconic NYC B.E.C. (bacon, egg & cheese) from the bodega. It arouses in me no feeling whatsoever.

I first meet up with one of my first friends in university, Trevor. He was always a scholar and writer, but is now also a professor, living with his husband in West Virginia. We discuss the ways we seem the same and the ways we feel different than our more youthful selves.

We are (mostly!) reunited at dispatch HQL-600's final destination of Printed Matter. My eyes were misty. I am reminded that time does not move in the straight line, but spirals three-dimensionally, looping back with slight variations on a theme.

嗨，親愛的S，
感謝詢問我今天要不要來，但我有個朋友突然來到布魯克林，所以我沒辦法去。我在考慮下週三或週五。妳介意告訴我什麼時候不在（或會在）嗎？

在紐約一切都很好，我的日子大多數都是和朋友聚聚，懶洋洋地走來走去。讓炎炎夏日放慢我的作息和思緒。這是威廉斯堡Quimby's店裡貓的照片，我在那裡買了一大堆小誌。
在遠離讀書人和雜誌買家的世界中酣睡

Hi dear S,
Thanks for asking about coming today but I won’t be able to make it as a friend unexpectedly popped into Brooklyn. I’m thinking about Wednesday or Friday next week. Would you mind telling me when you won’t be in (or will be) whichever is easier to convey?

Everything is well in New York, my days have been mostly catching up with friends and walking lazily around. Letting the summer heat slow my routine and mind down. Here’s a photo of the shop cat at Quimby’s in Williamsburg where I bought an armful of zines.

我現在在香港國際機場給你寫郵件。很興奮去到紐約也很興奮拜訪交接的地方Bungee Space和見到你，S！謝謝你的接待。我在考慮週五，七月五號過去，如果對你也方便。

有趣的是，當我從香港慢遞一些書去紐約，我不知道也沒有任何假想都會是什麼書。其實在我取書時也有一本還未讀的「離開的舉措」，在學校我的辦公室裡。

所以決定週六下午我去藝鵠書店取得其它本後在飛機上讀這書。我打算隨意給朋友賣些書。我已經對這漫長的飛行感到焦慮（自從2020年新冠大流行就沒在飛行過這麽長程），也許有這書的陪伴和與緩件包裹的同步會帶給我安慰。

下邊是圖片和到目前的旅行說明。

I'm writing you from the Hong Kong International Airport now. Excited to be in New York and excited to see the drop-off location Bungee Space and to meet you, S! Thanks for your welcome. I'm thinking right now of coming by on Friday, July 5, if that works for you.

It's funny, when I offered to courier some books from Hong Kong to New York, I didn't know or have any assumptions as to what the books would be. I actually own a copy of Acts of Departure but haven't read it yet and left it in my office at school by the time I picked up the books.

So on Saturday afternoon I wound up deciding to go to Art and Culture Outreach to acquire another copy to bring with me on the plane to read. I was planning on swinging by to buy some books for other friends. I've been feeling anxiety about this long flight (not having done such a long flight since 2020 at the start of the pandemic) and thought perhaps the book's company and the synchronicity with the dispatch would bring me comfort.

Below are images and captions of the journey so far.

Take care,
Charis

你好，
我只想感謝您——今晚早些時候，我和快遞員碰面並領取了這本書！

我很感謝你們花了這麼多時間和人力物力把這本書送到我手上——考慮到這本書的運送路線跨越了多年和多個大洲，這是一個了不起的成就。我真的衷心感謝您，以及所有參與其中的人！

Hello,
I just wanted to thank you—I met up with the courier and picked up the book earlier tonight!

I appreciate the time and logistical effort it took to get it to me—it's an incredible accomplishment considering the route the book took across multiple years and multiple continents. I'm really sincerely grateful to you, and to everybody else who was involved!

Before Mr. PARKS departs from Williams, Arizona, he goes to a Route 66 themed diner there. In the study of literature, there is an oft discussed trope of unreliable narrators. It is also sort of an implicit category of talk therapy, in the post-Freudian tradition. Most psychologists feel professionally obligated to not assume their client is a reliable narrator. The courier wonders how such an orientation might influence the patient's own sense of self, somewhat destructively, albeit innocuously so. Within his role as courier he wonders about the equivalent role for writing the logistics log, but here the unreliability would not emphasize narration in general but appropriate logistics log narration in particular. Williams Arizona is 60 miles south of the southern rim of Grand Canyon. The courier departed Williams Arizona finally at 12:05 pm. He drives somewhat slowly in his small car. He takes a long break outside 29 Palms at a pizzeria called $5 pizza from 8:15 to 9:12. As he ascends the mountains of San Bernardino National Forest towards Big Bear City, the courier begins to realize that he is actually ascending into a treacherous blizzard, snaking along windy snowy, slippery roads. Impossible at a certain point to turn back, the courier both embraces the extreme sport quality, and quietly begs for mercy from the forces of nature, under his breath cursing wimpishly — finding a practical balance between gameful bravado on one hand, and cowardly groveling before forces of nature on the other. He does not feel unreliable, in the sense of exaggerating the sense of danger he felt, for if anything its reality is a bit under articulated here. He accepts he is unreliable, of course, since as far as he knows all these bits of information are completely irrelevant to the actual task of logistics. He arrives in Big Bear at 9:43. He watches coverage of the storm on Los Angeles local news. He decides to stay an extra day in Big Bear City, hoping the descent from the mountain on Thursday is less terrifying. He plans to meet the next courier in Los Angeles between 3pm and 4pm. Six accumulative hours of HGTV and "Shark Tank" later Wednesday night, the courier keeps the TV on, only reducing volume slightly, approaching sleep in preparation for early Thursday morning departure.

慢遞員到聖達菲藝術學院停車處遞送東西。慢遞員並不精通關於物流的用語，所以他向著在加利福利亞目的地的慢遞途中，他一直在考慮什麼是適合在他稍後到達旅館並有時間可以記下的。他曾告訴他那時開啟慢遞項目的人物之一的朋友，比起

Receive item to be delivered by courier in Santa Fe, at parking lot of Santa Fe Art Institute. Courier is not well versed in language of logistics, so during his courier route towards the destination in California, he reflects on what might to suitable to record in the log once he arrives at his motel later and has time to complete a record. He was just telling his friend, one of the logisticians who set this project in motion, that he was interested in the ongoing relevance in art of appropriating formats and frameworks rather then some simplistic pedagogical fixation on the elementary art historical tic associating appropriation and objects as such. And then, that logistician, hands him a collaborative assignment in line with that interest, but already in this log he has deviated so far from emulating the language of logistics! So he assume the quota of allowed deviating, towards a non-logistical reflective log has lapsed too far even already. Other facts: the courier's car had new rear tires, stabilizing the next leg of the drive. The drive from Santa Fe, to a pet friendly motel in Williams Arizona was extremely windy. The car was a Smart car. The courier listened to conservative radio periodically. Since he, the courier, never hears about other left-leaning people, eaves dropping on right wing media strategies by listening to their radio, he thought he should mention that in this log. But not in the same depth as the courier thought, when he was driving. Along course of that leg of drive, many interesting things were discussed on the radio program of "Fresh Air" on the regional NPR broadcast and on the conservative radio programs, the courier listened to. If the editor of this log were to deem additional description as relevant, the courier has planned to make note of the subjects discussed in a separate log in greater detail. The courier is surprised to find himself concerned that current US president Biden may look weak as a statesmen in military contexts of international conflict. The courier had never imagined himself as advocating for demonstrations of military competence. Having been a teenager in the 90s, the courier is relieved to scan to a radio station playing Smashing Pumpkins, which seems to be such a majestic reprieve from the right wing media's predictable and possibly accurate estimation that Biden is a weak, risk averse president, in a moment where the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems imminent. The root meanings of words isn't a strong dimension of the courier's intellectual formation, but he assumes logos is root meaning in both logistics and ideology. The Smashing Pumpkins radio station announces itself using the passe, the courier assumed, or at best nostalgic, moniker he couldn't accurately remember aside from the word "alternative." Earlier in the day he had been wondering about the viability of drawing on 90s branding of alternatives, in order to advocate for alternative independent social media platforms in the current epoch. The courier imagines such a plug for that hypothetical trend could be a more forward thinking way to end his already deviated anyway reflective log. Landscape shifted from Santa Fe building code enforced pueblo style architecture, in Santa Fe, to then actually driving through Navajo indigenous reservations. At a gas station within reservation the courier noticed a Navajo publication, but did not purchase.

Hi dear S,

Everything is well in New York, my days have been mostly catching up with friends and walking lazily around. Letting the summer heat slow my routine and mind down. Here’s a photo of the shop cat at Quimby’s in Williamsburg where I bought an armful of zines.

我現在在香港國際機場給你寫郵件。很興奮去到紐約也很興奮拜訪交接的地方Bungee Space和見到你，S！謝謝你的接待。我在考慮週五，七月五號過去，如果對你也方便。

有趣的是，當我從香港慢遞一些書去紐約，我不知道也沒有任何假想都會是什麼書。其實在我取書時也有一本還未讀的「離開的舉措」，在學校我的辦公室裡。

所以決定週六下午我去藝鵠書店取得其它本後在飛機上讀這書。我打算隨意給朋友賣些書。我已經對這漫長的飛行感到焦慮（自從2020年新冠大流行就沒在飛行過這麽長程），也許有這書的陪伴和與緩件包裹的同步會帶給我安慰。

Y和我在唐人街碰面，一起吃遲到的早餐——我們聊了組織+藝術+做事。我遞交了包裹，十分興奮她會讀到《最後的街市》，是我從東京到紐約市的飛機上開始讀的那本。

Y and I met in Chinatown and had a late breakfast together — we talked organizing & art & making things. I handed off the packages and am so excited for her to read _The Last Emporium_, which I started on my flight from Tokyo to NYC.

今天早些，我去到和合石看望我婆婆的墓。整個夏天我都在為此焦慮，用我糟糕的粵語盡力穩當地編造創新的藉口（我要如何告訴出租車我要去哪兒？我怎麼能精確找到那墓？），加上我姨媽僅能和她母親證實的有限又極少量的訊息：她去逝的年份，她的名字。我姨媽上次去掃墓是在1969年，在她離開香港去美國前。長大過程中我唯一知道的是我婆婆在我媽只有四歲的時候去逝，因為子宮癌。姨媽跟我講，每一次她和我母親和她們的兄弟去完公墓，我母親就會生病。當他們爬公墓那巨大的山，她能“擺脫她身體裡的一切”，我姨媽這樣說，意思是我母親她吐了。這是我聽說的我母親的童年故事之一；她在我青春期時死了。這往事總是困擾著我，直到我自己走在和合石橋頭路上，流著汗並感到恐慌，企圖向任何人尋求幫助。這不只是小山丘，他們得爬上一座真正大山的山頂。我熟知這般比喻。

Hi Hiuwai,

Thank you so much for bringing the book to New York! I'm looking forward to meeting you in person too.
I'm living in Forest Hills, Queens and can come over to Brooklyn for the meeting. 1st and 4th August in afternoon work for me, please suggest the exact time and place.
My cell phone is +1 (347)XXX-XXX

It’s wonderful to connect virtually and looking forward to meeting you in person.
I’m in town until the 11th. It’s best for me to meet next week because I’m here with my son until the 5th.

Here’s my mobile for WhatsApp, which is more agile for communicating than email (which I’m trying not to check too often while I’m on holiday): +34 XXX XXX XXX.

I’m staying in Crown Heights, but I’m flexible about where to meet.

Best,
Hiuwai

你好，

沒事的：）需要多長時間就多長時間，謝謝你來信。你好嗎？
我認識一位，對的。你還在巴塞羅那嗎？你還在的話要認識一下我的朋友M，另外還有一個項目空間叫Malpais，營運空間的J偶爾來巴塞爾因為他的搭檔住那裡，我可以幫你聯絡一下。

擁抱，J

HALLO,

No worries ：） It takes the time it needs. Thank you for your message. How are you?
I know a person yes. Are you still in Barcelona? You should also meet my friend M if you are still there. Otherwise there is this project space Malpais, J who is running it comes to Basel every now and then because his partner lives there. I can put you in contact with them.

Abrazos, J

想跟你分享你訂購的書已經到達歐盟！最後，還是我帶來的，哈哈哈，這樣的靠近你，在蘇黎世機場，但只是一個快速的轉機，說聲問安，然後繼續前往巴塞羅那，我現在在了······你知道有誰在這個方向旅行就可以幫忙帶書返回瑞士了？

希望你很好，期待多聊聊，如果時間能慢下來些······

just wanted to share with you that the book you ordered has arrived in the EU! in the end, it was me that brought it, hahah, arrived so close to you, in Zürich airport, but only a quick transfer so could only say grüezi and then onwards to Barcelona, where I am now... do you know anyone traveling in this direction soon that could help get it back to Switzerland?

hope this finds you well, looking forward to more conversation, and wishing for time to slow down...

抱歉這延遲的回覆！我從北半球回來，這讓我花了些時間找到我的腳和克服時差🙃

我收到了這運輸包裹！非常享受地讀完全部內容並與之共度時光，這出版物和你們弄的分發工作真是新奇提神。

來自梅洛恩的大號問候，希望你都很好。

暖暖的，
L

Sorry for such a delayed reply! I got back from the northern hemisphere and it's taken me a while to find my feet and get over the jet lag 🙃

I did receive the shipment! Really enjoying reading through everything and spending some time with the publications, the publishing and distribution work that you are doing is truly refreshing.

Big hello from Melourne and hoping you are very well.

Warmest,
L

如果你正好有Wise帳戶來直接以港幣轉帳費用就太好了，如果沒有，PayPal也行。請不要用商品/服務來標記轉帳，PayPal會因此收費。

我有為你額外列入一出版物HomeShop，稱作《我的負能量是你的正能量， or 或者， The Grin Without the Cat》，其中的迷你故事集基於家作坊暫停後一些模擬人類學博物館的呈現，作為一份對當時許多事物和簡史的導覽指南...

希望你悅讀，再次感激你支持我們微妙的，半自主的出版嘗試！

Hallo L,

Just posted! Changed the box but the price stayed the same, unfortunately :(...

Attached are the receipt/tracking info, you can link here for viewing the tracking with item number: EA363229760HK.

If you happen to have a Wise account for transferring the cost directly in HKD would be great, but if not, PayPal is also fine. Please do not send it marked as goods/services, as PayPal will take a fee if so.

I've included one extra HomeShop publication for you, called 《我的負能量是你的正能量， or 或者， The Grin Without the Cat》, which includes mini stories based upon a sort of mock-anthropology museum presentation of HomeShop after it closed, acting as a guide for viewing a lot of objects and ephemera from that time...

Hope you enjoy the reading, and thanks again for your support of our minor, 'semi-autonomous' publishing endeavours!

你好J，
高興認識你，也好高興終於能把妳和妳的書連起來拉！

我將於7月12日至15日在布里斯班，往返於Wishart（12-13日）和 Taringa（14-15日）之間。如果妳能安排人從這兩個地方來取，那就太好了！否則，7月15日星期一是我最空閒的一天，所以我可以去相互都方便的地方。

谢谢，
TIAN

Hi J,

Nice to meet you and very happy to finally unite you and your books!

I'll be in Brisbane from 12-15 July, travelling between Wishart (12-13th) & Taringa (14-15th). If you can possibly arrange for someone to pick them up from either of those places that would be great! Otherwise Monday 15 July is my most free day, so I could travel somewhere mutually convenient.

Thanks,
TIAN

親愛的H
こんにちは！
您住哪裡？我住在多摩川駅（東横線）、大田区附近。因為我要照顧一個6個月大的嬰兒，如果您可以跟我在東横線附近，比如自由が丘或者渋谷駅付近會最好！
其實我最方便的地點是二子玉川駅，因為我可以做巴士到那邊。
說真的，東京很大，請您告訴我您在哪裡，我們找一個好地方碰面！
祝好， 小船

Dear H
こんにちは！
where do you live? i live near 多摩川駅（東横線）、大田区。 as I have to take care of a 6 months old baby, so if you can meet me somewhere near 東横線 like 自由が丘or 渋谷駅 that would be helpful!
actually the best place for me to meet is 二子玉川駅 as i can go there by bus.
but yes tokyo is very big and let me know where you are and let’s find a good place to meet!
Best,
Boat

大家好， 你們這本書很好，昨天已經送到我手上了。我再次向你們表示感謝。我也給你們發一張這本書在波爾圖家中的照片
很高興認識你
祝好，M

Dear all,
Your great book was delivered to me yesterday. Once again, I thank you all. I'm also sending you an image of the book at home, in Porto.
It was great to meet you.
All the best,
M

親愛的M

我會在到達時聯繫你。我會去看在Serralves的展覽然後去Portus Call酒店。

一切順利
Filipa

Dear M

I will call you when I arrive. I will go to see the exhibitions at Serralves and then will go to Portus Calle hotel.

All the best
Filipa

親愛的Filipa,
感謝你的來信。是的，我今天將在波圖爾，我們可以碰面交接這書。下午我和家人一起，還沒有具體的地點。但如果你告訴我你將在何處，我可以為見你而作安排。你也可以打我電話，這樣更方便。

稍後見。
一切順利，
M

Dear Filipa,
Thank you for your email. Yes, I'll be in Porto today and we can meet to receive the book. I'll be with family during the afternoon without a specific place yet. But if you tell me where you will be I can make arrangements in order to meet you. You can also use my phone number to make it easier.

See you later.
All the best,
M

你好，L

終於有一些消息啦，你可以看一下這裡！我們有一位慢遞員，應該會9月底，10月初的樣子從達拉斯到休斯頓，可是你有認識的人更早走同一條路線，我們也可以安排一下交接，只需要告訴我一下！

夏天喝多一點水！

祝好，何穎雅

Dear L,

Finally some updates on your order, see here! We have one courier who will travel from Dallas to Houston around the end of September - beg October, but if you know anyone else who may make the journey before that, we can arrange a relay, just let me know!

Hope you are keeping hydrated this summer!

Best wishes, PORTABLE

您好 親愛的L，

我們收到你的訂單，非常感激！遺憾的是現在的時機有點尷尬，因為額外本的「闖」前幾週消失在我們的倉儲庫，而我們在你下訂單的前個週末剛剛在香港的書展賣光了它，也在我們有時間更新網頁列入它為售光前。

所以我們無法提供該書複本！我記得你在訂購「闖」冊2後感興趣想補購「闖」冊1，作為我們不很可操作的發行的歉意，我想問你是否願意擁有最後一本「闖」冊1（我們自己的存檔）。它的封面因日曬而褪色受損，裡冊完好無礙。

如果你不介意等待慢遞項目的野生派送，我們可能在夏天後去往德克薩斯旅行，並能夠給你安排免費的遞送。也因我們並未通過這個派送賺錢，如果你偏好直接從香港郵寄，我會向你徵求郵資。

讓我們知道你的想法，同時也感謝你再次與我們確認！

慢遞項目友愛祝福你，
易拎

您好 dear L,

We received your order, thank you very much! Unfortunately, it turns out to be a bit of awkward timing, because a few extra copies of Chuăng had only just been discovered in our backstock a couple of weeks ago, and we sold them all at the art book fair in Hong Kong just the weekend before your placed your order, before we had time to update the website to list them as sold out again.

So we don't have any copies available! I remember that you were interested to purchase Chuăng 1 way back when you ordered number 2, so in apologies for our not very operable distro, I'd like to ask if you would be interested to have the last remaining copy of Chuăng 1 (from our own archive), the cover of which is sun faded and damaged. The inside pages are all fine.

If you don't mind to wait for LIGHT LOGISTICS feral couriering, we may have a travel to Texas over the summer and can arrange to get it to you then free of cost. But because we really don't make money with this distro, if you'd like to have it shipped directly from Hong Kong, I will have to ask you to cover the postage costs.

Let us know what you think, and thank you for checking in with us again!

Greetings from your friendly LIGHT LOGISTICIAN,
PORTABLE

你好LY，

很遺憾聽到你的工作情況，LY。希望你現在的情況有所好轉。我這週末要去劍橋參加一個會議，可以把你的訂單轉給你。請隨時通過 Whatsapp 聯繫我： +1 929 XXX XXXX。

謝謝也祝好，
นนท์

Hi LY,

Sorry to hear about the job situation, LY. Hope you are in a better place now. I'm headed to Cambridge for a conference this weekend and can pass you your order. Feel free to Whatsapp me: +1 929 XXX XXXX.

Thanks and hope you are well,
NON

你好！
不好意思花了那麼長時間才回覆。在七月底被解雇了，現在還在找工作。這段時間壓力很大，試著找到解決辦法......同時也想重新振作起來！

我現在就在波士頓，還要在這裡待九天。

9月6-11日要離開 ，9月12-30日又在波士頓。

你這兩段時間有沒有可能到波士頓來？明天給你WhatsApp！

祝好，L

Hi!

Sorry it’s taken me so long to reply. I was laid off at the end of July and still looking for a job. Very stressful times and trying to find solutions… and also find my head again!

I am in Boston right now and will be here for another nine days.

I’m out of town: 06/09 to 11/09.
In town again 12/09 to 30/09.

Will you be in Boston within this window?
I will message you on WhatsApp tomorrow!

Cheers,
L

我的老天！真是天意作美！哇嗚，哇嗚，真是驚奇。太感謝你帶著我的書去如此這般的冒險旅行！我借我的書感同身受了，我如此想念香港......好久都沒有現在這樣感到是在家裡！

我還在劍橋，遺憾的是眼下我不會去到紐黑文。

不過我有個朋友在紐黑文，他可能會好心存放好我的書並在什麼時候遞給我。你看，我將一些天後在冰島旅遊，直到8/9才返回。

我會問我朋友是否可以幫我取書。他在紐黑文DAE工作，是一個非營利的藝術教育空間。空間在770教堂街。在你投放慢遞去那裡前讓我確認他是不是願意幫忙。慢遞員朋友會在紐黑文待多久？我注意到一個PhD八月十六的註腳。那是在紐黑文嗎？即便這慢遞員朋友可以投放我的書給我（即將成為慢遞員的）朋友（哈），我真想什麼時候見見這位國際慢遞員朋友，然後請大家吃個飯。

大家帶著我的書有這樣的漫旅，我真的好感動！非常謝謝你們持續的試圖聯絡我。

千萬份的感激你們，希望某天我們相見

Oh my goodness! What a good sign! Wow wow, that’s amazing. Thank you so much for taking my book on such a traveling adventure! I will live vicariously through my book, I miss Hong Kong so much... have not been home in a really long time now!

I am still in Cambridge... unfortunately I won’t be in New Haven any time soon.

I do have a friend in New Haven... and maybe he will be so kind as to keep my book safe and pass it on to me at some point. You see, I’m traveling to Iceland in a few days and won’t be back until 8/9.

I will ask my friend if he can hold my book for me. He works at DAE New Haven, a nonprofit arts education space. The space is at 770 Chapel St. Let me just confirm that he wants to help me before you drop it off there. How long will the courier-friend be in New Haven? I see some notes about a PhD August 16. Is that in New Haven? Even if the courier-friend might be able to drop off my book with my (soon to be courier-)friend (ha) I would really like to meet this international courier-friend sometime, and treat them to a meal.

I am so touched that they carried my book on such a journey! Thank you so much for trying forever to get in touch with me.

A million thank yous and hope we meet some day

嗨，易拎，

這周四6點我能帶觸及膩的書來--妳能幫我們太感激了！恭喜妳的活動進行，到時見。

祝好
CLOUDY

Hi PORTABLE,

I can come this Thursday at 6pm to bring the book for Jiney—so thankful you can help us bring it over! Congrats on the event and see you soon.

Best,
CLOUDY

你好囉 觸及膩、Q，

謝謝我們有保持聯繫！我在這邊做一個出版物發表的小活動，和往常一樣同時慢遞展銷場的書，哈哈

我貼上活動的消息，如果妳也來就太好了。如果沒時間，下週也可以跟妳取觸及膩的書，活動開幕後我有更多空閒，一直到11號都在紐約。

我會給這個包裹添加新的路線。我很開心做回觸及膩的慢遞員，在妳當展銷場慢遞員這麼多次以來，嘿嘿

易拎

Hallo ahlo Jiney and Q,

thanks for putting us in touch! yes, i am here for a small book launch event and also couriering Display Distribute books as always, haha

I've attached the information about the event here, if you would like to come would be lovely, but if not free, perhaps i can also pick up jiney's book from you next week, as i will be more free after the opening, staying in New York until the 11th.

I will add a new route for this dispatch, Jiney, happy to courier back to you since you have carried for us so many times, hehe

PORTABLE

「嗨 Q，

我很抱歉這麼晚才回覆郵件。我沒在Kickstarter留下收件地址是因為想嘗試有沒有方式或可能，用人對人的線下方式拿到書。

好運的是，我的朋友易拎三月10日前都在紐約忙一個展覽，她可以幫我帶這書回香港。

所以，我寫這郵件給你們商量一個方便的方式取書。非常感謝讓我線下人對人的買書。

⭐

紐約-香港#換光角

特大好謝謝妳易拎！恭賀展覽和新書發布！

祝好
觸及膩

hi Q,

I'm sorry for being so late in replying to this email, the reason I didn't leave a shipping address on Kickstarter is because I was trying to see if there was any chance of getting the book in a p2p (person-to-person) way.

Luckily, my friend PORTABLE will be in New York until March 10th working on an exhibition, so she can help me bring the book back to Hong Kong.

Therefore, I write this mail to both of you to discuss a convenient way to pick up the book. Many thanks for allowing me to buy the book via p2p.

⭐

NY-HK #Shifting the Angle of Shine

And a big thank you to PORTABLE! Congratulations on the exhibition and book launch!

Best,
jiney

嗨GRACE，關於這些書，想告確你接下來幾天我常有的動態：

星期五：墨爾本北
星期六：墨爾本北；晚上聯邦廣場
星期日：白天Box Hill, 晚上Coburg
星期一：早上Monash，然後墨爾本北
星期二：墨爾本北，然後晚上到Brunswick東

那之後還未定下來，會待到12號星期五

COURIER TIAN UPDATE：

Hey GRACE just wanted to check in about the books. My general movements over the next few days:

Fri: North Melbourne
Sat North Melbourne; Fed Square in the evening
Sun: Box Hill during the day, Coburg in the evening
Mon: Monash in the morning, then North Melbourne
Tues: North Melbourne, then Brunswick East in the evening

Not sure after that. I depart on Friday 12th

因為HQL-568並非刻意讓慢遞員TIAN轉接，但HQL-568和HQL-569嬌小的尺寸連同HQL-569收件人的親切大方，意味著TIAN可以在旅行中協帶兩個緩件去墨爾本，HQL-569的收件人成為最後傳遞HQL-568去到在墨爾本另一收件人的即來慢遞員。
While HQL-568 was not intended as a relay for courier TIAN, the petite sizes of HQL-568 and HQL-569 along with the gracious generousity of the RECEIVER of HQL-569 means that TIAN can cover the journey of both dispatches to Melbourne, with HQL-569's RECEIVER becoming a future courier for the last leg of HQL-568 to another RECEIVER in Melbourne

收件人更新：「嗨，我在等待我的訂單抵達澳大利亞墨爾本；很抱歉，需要更改我的收件地址，請告訴我如何進行更改？另外，慢遞似乎是一個非常有趣的項目！我可以申請成為一個本地的慢遞員嗎？(如果有需要）」
RECEIVER UPDATE：Hi I’m waiting for my order arriving Melbourne, Australia, and I'm sorry that I need to change my address for delivery, please let me know how can I make the changes? Also this LIGHT LOGISTICS seems a really interesting project! Can I apply to be part of the local courier? (if it’s needed) Cheers!

慢遞員更新：「你好！我正準備給你發郵件，因為我意識到由於時間衝突，我可能無法在一月份前往墨爾本——如果我接下來遇到比我更早去墨爾本的人，我可以安排這個人遞送嗎？ 如果更方便的話，也可以通過IG聯繫到我」
COURIER UPDATE：hello! i was about to email you since i realised i might not be able to make my trip to Melbourne in January due to schedule clashes - is it ok if i arrange for someone else to deliver if i next meet a person who will go to Melbourne sooner than me? also, i can be reached on IG as well if that’s more convenient
