how Hong Kong has changed me as a person- PART 1

Before HK, I was a very someone who didn't know what I like or not like. Even for very simple things, like ice cream- I didn't really know. For example, I don't really like ice ceam, but yet I always said i LOVE it because I don't hate it. But I just realized I don't really like it. I don't mind having it. But I don't like it.

HK has also changed me into someone who will easily voice out my opinion. I realized that voicing my opinion is really important. People might take advantage of you if you don't voice out your concerns. I had been in numerous cases been taken advantage of by the same person. I am more straight forward now. ( I am sure Marilyn will greatly appreciate this change the most)

I know what I want. I know I don't want a rich and high end life. But I do want to have a normal life and just sustain how I live now. Able to go on vacations like my parents. Able to support my kids through college. I just want very simple things.

I had met amazing friends. Seriously- before I started working in HK- people often tell me that HK is full of people that are 2 faced. takes advantage of people. not sensitive. terrible to work with. But I think I lucked out on this one. My co-workers are seriously some of the closes friends I have in HK. We see each other around 50 hours a week and on top of that, we see each other on the weekends and sometimes at night. I can make truly be myself here at NB. Making fun of each other, thinking of lunch at like 10am in the morning, planning short trips, those are things we all truly enjoy.

Since I am not leaving yet, and lunch time is here.. i will continue later...
