  Is your boy with you? Has he been. Interested to hear how he likes HK.

  Oh fuck my very own thread.

  Spen - I'm back in Denver for 2 weeks. Immigration stuff. Was supposed to be heading back to HK with my boy yesterday but it didn't work out that way so I am sticking around to hang out with him longer.

  Dobs - he loves HK. We were out there in January for a couple weeks and it took it all in his stride. I swear nothing fazes that kid. he was really looking forward to coming over this summer but he's a little too young to fly alone yet, so we're planning on him coming over for the next summer holidays. In the meantime I'll be visiting Denver a lot.

  Coming back here has been weird. it feels like home, but not really. Hong Kong is a straight up trip. It's been raining non-stop for almost 8 weeks now. Wettest June since records began. For the first month i was there I was second guessing myself all the time - but ultimately I think I made the right choice. It's home. I love the food, the nightlife, the constant buzz and energy - the clash of cultures.

  Took me a while to get used to the humidity again but after the first month i seem to have a handle on it. I try to run 10k every other day and it keeps me focused.

  It's good to be around old friends and family again, and a real trip to be going places i was going to 15 years ago. Some things change, some things stay the same.

  The work ethic here is hardcore. People work hard, and late. It's quite refreshing to work with so many driven and passionate people. All too often I will find myself at 6.30pm with several more hours work to do. I jumped in at the deep end with my new job and it's sink or swim. So far I seem to be keeping afloat! I am learning so much and really enjoying working with a split team and westerners and locals. We're going to be doing some pretty sweet work soon that i am excited about.

  As with any big move like that - it's taken some time to adjust. And if I were being honest, I will probably second guess myself for a bit longer. The distance between my son and I is pretty unbearable sometimes, and makes me feel detached and isolated. But I had to do this in order to take back some control in my life, and start afresh somewhere that was familiar. Home.

  That sounds like an experience.

  • I think I'm kind of done with 'experiences' for a while now : )– jevad
