Hi Kamen,
Any updates? Preparations to Chinese New Year?
Enjoying the sale period in Hong Kong?
Would be nice to read an update on life in Hong Kong ![]()
Did you celebrate Christmas?
Dear Kaman,
Have you ever thought about emigrating to the United Kingdom? Although life in the UK is also expensive. Just like Holland.
The pace in NL is much slower than in HK. I was literally walking faster when I am in HK, and I can imagine the stress to live in HK. Much more excitement to experience but you are living by the day and the breathing room is less. Air pollution and much smaller appartements. I do not worry much about daily life here. Perhaps I should for being a contractor I do not know what my next project will be, or when. But it was my choice and luckily it is working fine at the moment. As Luuk said, start making plans to achieve your goal, ie live or work outside HK and be prepared for the sacrifices/bumps on the road. Have fun in HK till that time.
Take control of your life and start making choice, do not let someone else or circumstance guide you.
Every miss step you make will bring you closer to the path of happiness.
Accept the unpredictable walk of life, do not fear it and you will sleep easier.
Hope you find your yellow brick road like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz
No stress or long working hours here in the Netherlands, because Dutch society/mentality is de zesjes-cultuur. That means performing average is OK, you're no hero to be an out-achiever.
So when you gonna visit NL again??
If you emigrate to Holland wouldn't you miss your boy friend?
would you really like to move to holland for the rest of your life?
i returned to hk after having lived in holland for 15 years, now at work for a couple of months. also need to work like a dog and face stressful challenges everyday. sometimes i think: have i come back to hk for this? did i make the wrong choice?
but even though i need to make very long working hours i still find my job quite challenging AND i cherish every scarce moment of entertainment outside work. lifestyle in hk is very colorful after all.
every choice has a good and down side, since you already have chosen for your job, it probably suits u the best... don't worry too much + add oil la! (but i do agree u can breathe and relax much better in europe gei~ haha)
for me holiday is okey eating and chilling
I think living+work in Hk will be too stressful
but living +$$$$ is nice
Any limits on how many words you can post, because this interface doesn't allow me to post dammit!
Anyways I got 283 words, counted through Word. Perhaps Jonc is used that not many people will comment, nor post long comments, so they are cut the amount of words you can post? ![]()
Recently I read that HK has the 5th longest average working hours a week of the world.
I heard on the news that the government of HK will reserve extra money for the poor families.
It's the truth that HK is an excellent place to live for the rich. I also read that a British survey of this year mentioned that about 1 out of 4 people in HK is a millionaire in USD!!
