I am writing this from the confines of my room. I am currently serving my two-week quarantine back in Singapore but, being in a hotel, it doesn't feel like I am home yet.
This hotel life means I have gone from constant companionship and interaction to sudden isolation. The dramatic shift has left me feeling bereft and out of sorts. I miss Budapest, as well as my teammates and the time we spent together.
