2 Week Evaluation

How I feel about Hong Kong after 2 weeks?

Now I will start with a disclaimer.  I have only been here for two weeks.  I have only worked a few days and none with kids yet.  We are in the hotel until tomorrow at which time, everything needs to be taken to the flat where we won’t have furniture for another few days at least.  Also, the landlord conveniently forgot management was going to tear the doorway out of the master bathroom, which is still laying in a mess on the floor.  So remember that when I say what I’m about to say.  Got all of that?

Okay, here goes.

I’m in love with it here.  I love about everything about it.

I love the mountains and the clouds.  I love the water.  I love the transportation system.  I love exploring.  I love the food (even if we’ve played it safe so far).  I love the culture.  I love this country.  I love being here.  I miss people at home, and I know homesickness will set in at some point, most likely Christmas.  I know I have a lot to learn.

I know I will at some point (maybe even soon) curse my situation.  For now, I love it.

Hong Kong is an amazing place.  It’s not really a place I’ve ever considered going, but now that I’m here, I can’t figure out why we never put it on our list.

So yeah, I’m sure I’ll change my tune 100 times, but for now, I’m happy we’re here.
