I had situation such as yours too. It was so hard to decide.
I asked myself:
-Do I want to work 6 days+ per week in HK vs 5 in Van?
-Can I tolerate poor service / materialism / impoliteness of people?
-Can I get used to people talking very loudly and spitting everywhere?
-Do I like to make friends that can be quite fake?
-I love the shopping
-I love the great food and choices of
-I love the endless choice of entertainment!
On top of them though, I had to ask:
-Can my HK boss and coworkers tolerate me?
-Will my "western" style personality create stress more than challenge?
-will I miss my relatives and friends in Canada?
I am not as career oriented then most guys. So my problem was solved by going to hk almost once / year! I am taking advantage of both worlds!
You know, Vancouver isn't bad that it's quite close to HK in a way. I consider it a blessing that we have the opportunity and funds to travel anywhere we like and speak both languages fluently, plus chances of a taste of both contries.
Count your blessings and let God take care of the rest! |
