Trip 2008 (11)

Finally back in Australia.

The final night in Hong Kong was a challenging night in terms of thoughts of my life. Through dinner and drinks with some old friends, I was confronted with the issue of moving back to Hong Kong.

I know I would earn much more money, and I would have lots of friends there. The major reason why my friends want me to move back is the greater availability of single girls in Hong Kong. They are of the view that I may remain single in Australia, while the rest of them in Hong Kong will be married and having kids.

But one thing which I find lacking in Hong Kong is the lack of opportunities for me to serve God. I will so busy with my work that I will not have time to do this. I would not be able to serve God, let alone further my knowledge in him. The lack of pro bono work in Hong Kong would also be a major factor.

It is true that there are alot more girls in Hong Kong, but I find most Hong Kong girls too materialistic for my liking. The girls I have met in Hong Kong which were introduced to me by my friends were all materialistic, and the only ones which do not display such traits are the ones who have just gone back to Hong Kong to work. It seems like the whole environment of Hong Kong changes the character of people.

So here, i end my thoughts on the trip. Overall it has been a great experience, and I get to learn more about myself. I realise that I may not be as patient as I think and I can be quite independent. I enjoy the freedom and the feeling of being carefree so maybe this kind of attitude is affecting my relationship status. Until next time....
