    Its a career move. I’ve always been intrigued at the prospect of working in an environment such as Hong Kong, because the work rate/flow is so intense. Whereas in Canada, it is a few notch below when compared to Hong Kong.

    Thanks bud! For the first month, I’m probably going to thave allergy problems since the pollution over there is so bad. I’ll look forward to the constant sneezing or watery eyes.

    I was born in Hong Kong, but moved to here at an early age. I can speak Cantonese fluently, but I gotta brush up on my mandarin though.

    Everytime my family is going to take a trip to the islands, our family there tells us to stay here because we look too white and they can’t protect us from getting kidnapped. Sucks. :(

    I need to pack my desktop PC. Whats the best way for it get to Hong Kong safely?

    Luggage or ship?

    Dude, have fun. I was in HK last year and it was immensely inspiring, I’m a little jealous!

    As for your PC, I think shipping it UPS would be your best option. They’ll treat the parcel better than the airlines, anyway.

    Man, I just did a basic DHL rate...comes out to be more than $1000+. Crazy!

    Hey, next time when you’re at HK, we can meet up for some HK milk tea or some curry fish balls.

    Here’s an update on the other side of the world.

    Been here for more than a week, I’m still getting use to the weather. Its always so humid and its raining for most of the time I’m here.

    My allergies are really bad since I arrived. I’ve been using at least half a box of kleenex everyday because of my constant sneezing.

    The food here has been amazing. I’m always looking forward to dinner if I’m eating outside. Yesterday, I had a blueberry + lychee soda mix at this Japanese bbq style restuarant.

    cheers.
