In 2017 I was commissioned by the Aide De Camp of an Arab prince to deliver a $100,000 Hermes Birkin bag to a Hong Kong banker. $2000 plus flights hotel and a trip to see my family in Thailand.
I flew from NYC to HK empty-handed and picked up the bag at an auction house in HK. After a swift examination I delivered the Birkin bag to its final destination without ever meeting the banker. I received a receipt and walked to the Star Ferry.
Crossing the Perfumed Harbor I looked at the distant hills.
China.
I knew Yunnan and Szechuan.
I had dumplings in Kowloon.
The next day I was on the Rayong Beach with my family.
A drifter's life.
