I flew back to Bkk from Hong Kong yesterday. I was so sad to leave, but grateful to have had such a wonderful experience there. It’s such a beautiful, vibrant city and I met so many amazing people during the week I was there. It gave me a lot to think about and certainly provided some much needed clarity and direction to my current situation.

I’m planning to find a job teaching in China. Perhaps Shenzhen because it’s close to HK and I could go there on the weekends, but I’d consider other places in China as well. It feels a lot more exotic than Bkk does which I really love. Hopefully things will fall into place pretty quickly. I don’t want to fall into the trap of being stuck here and not making progress towards anything. I don’t think I will. I’m meeting with a guy today who has been doing freelance work. He’s going to explain it all to me and if it’s something I can do on my own I totally will. I think I’d like to get a job teaching in an actual school, too, for the support and to grow as a teacher (not to mention the work visa so I can stay in the country!). I’m looking forward to today.

I also did my second day of morning pages. I didn’t do them at all while in HK. I’m really looking forward to working through this book.
