.. Just think.. it might really be possible to end up working in HK?
haha.. a thought i've admittedly entertained for a while.. It would be something quite amazing. To start working in HK.. living and breathing that which i've always wanted. It would be like living a dream.. haha till the enshrouding smoke and stiffling crowds start to colour my yet crystal-clear vision.
Without a doubt, starting out there will be difficult. Unimaginable really. I can hardly converse decently in Cantonese, much less hope to blend in and absorb the culture but what an amazing experience I'd get! Many experienced professionals have been flocking to HK lured by the increasingly generous pay packages. Me? I'm in it for the experience, for the love of it and for a desperate need of a change in landscape.
I haven't even been back that long? No. And yes, there are places to discover right here.. plenty of areas i have never even been to or contemplated visiting.. but the interest is strangely waning..I don't find it as fascinating as i did in the past. The attractiveness is waning.. I need to uncover someplace new.
What I love about HK is the thrill I feel as I walk the old streets.. the amazement of seeing a place so modern and thriving juxtaposed against a backdrop of old streets, rickety stairs.. dilapidated buildings and alleyways. Maybe it's the nooks and cranies that i find most fascinating. The people who are so reminiscent of the colourful characters found in any TVB serial. Am I just in love with the HK that TV represents? Wouldn't it be a foolish move to leap at the opportunity once again to just LEAVE? Ah.. that's where you don't know me. You don't understand that insatiable appetite to be always on the move. The need for it. I don't quite understand it myself but it has shown itself to be a more-than-desirable character trait.. one that i'm not about to get rid of.
And so.. the opportunity beckons once again.
