Monday
morning. The sun is shining through the rain clouds and I am sitting at work,
in my little office in sleepy Petersfield Hampshire. What makes this different
to every other Monday morning is I leave the UK in 5 weeks to start a new life,
in HONG KONG! I have no plans, apart from arrive and look for a job. I have no
idea what the future holds for me there, but I KNOW in my heart it is the right
place for me to be going at this exact point in my life and I CAN'T
WAIT!!
I
returned from a vacation to Hong Kong last week. I went initially for
a week, extended my stay and stayed for an extra week. Hong Kong had a huge
impact on me, obviously. I went on a quest. I went to prove the theory that
everything in the universe is connected, and as I am a part of the universe,
therefore also connect to it. I went with an open mind, an open heart and ready
to embrace everything that happened to me while I was there.
I have
been looking for somewhere that I feel I belong for some time. I arrived in
Hong Kong under some very rare circumstances and was faced with some even more
unusual circumstances, that all pointed me towards making the decision to
return to the UK, quit my job and book a one-way ticket back to Hong
Kong.
This
is the start of something new...................
What
does one do in the office when you are leaving in the near future? WELL, I have
a list of things to work through; starting a blog was clearly the winner this
morning. I also need to buy a suitcase, call the TAX man, call my mobile phone
provider, get phone unlocked and cancel contract (not high on the list, top of
the annoyance list) buy a Kindle (though I am going to work on this as a
leaving present), settle my library account (charges that appeared even though
the books never did), business card design and printing, up date CV and Linked
In account (where better to write a list than a blog), cancel hair appointment
(I cannot afford such luxuries as I will be entering into the world of
unemployment, or entering the world as unemployed, they both work really),
apply for many many jobs in HK, seek out ANY contact I have in HK, sort room
out (throw stuff away, not just re organise),........that'll do for now!
Why is
it when you decide to leave the country, suddenly you fall in love with it in a
whole new light? Sadly, this time, nothing will compare to
the excitement of what may be in HK cityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
